About the designer and photographer:
JENNIFER GRAYLOCK: Art, Celebrity, Fashion Photographer and Creator of FaceChairs.com.

Renowned fashion and celebrity photographer Jennifer Graylock has had her work featured in most well known fashion and entertainment magazines; and shot campaigns for Fortune 500 companies. And now, the highly sought-after photographer is now combining her fashion, celebrity and fine arts background to create the first installment of her Face Chairs Art Series Collection. These iconic chairs are Graylock’s humorous intent to give fans, and non-fans alike, a chance to have their very own celebrity moment.

The “Face Chairs” Art Series Collection will features Jennifer Graylock’s most acclaimed celebrity and fashion icon photo picks. Each chair is then paired with a mid century-inspired bentwood chair, carefully restored, and emblazoned with exclusive photos from Graylock’s topical collection.

“In creating this limited edition, signed, art statements, I select and carefully restore visually interesting vintage and modern designer chairs in a variety of shapes and pair them with celebrity images from my collection shot at pivotal moments in each figure's life,” said Graylock.

“Face Chairs” is a true expression of Graylock’s art that combines her world-class photography and love of furniture design and restoration. Her roots in furniture design extend back to helping her grandfather restore and craft furniture when she was a young child. The collection takes a creative laugh with each celebrity to become part of his or her fans home.

Graylock unveiled her first iconic pieces at RAPT art&design in Naples, Florida, where she featured Oscar winner Angelina Jolie’s now notorious “leg pose” and Oscar nominee George Clooney immediately after learning of his Oscar nomination, creating international buzz from fans and non-fans alike as well as the celebrities she’s captured.

Charisma's Valentine to The Public. A New Sexy Spring Ad Campaign With Eddie Cibrian.

Admittedly, this is a totally gratuitous post. Pure eye candy. I don't even know who the photographer is for this campaign and I'm not even sure I care. This is an ad campaign that goes straight for the hormones, once again proving the old adage that sex sells (or at least receives social media attention). Think of it as a Valentine for my readers.



Tanned and taut, 38 year old actor Eddie Cibrian (most recently of the cancelled network TV show The Playboy Club) is the new body...er, face for Charisma's Spring 2012 ad campaign. The Bloomingdale's luxury brand of housewares has enlisted the handsome celeb (and husband to singer LeAnn Rimes) for a second time to bare his bod while wrapped in the brand's linens and towels.






Shot at a private residence in Los Angeles, the hunky star wears his wedding band in the shots...



... and that's about it. Thank you Lord.

The ads and catalog covers claim the double entendre "Eddie Cibrian has Charisma." As if I cared about his personality:



This is the second ad campaign for the brand featuring Eddie. Last July, the actor represented Charisma by posing sexily between the sheets:



Here's a look behind the scenes of the photoshoot with Eddie Cibrian:


And yes, Happy Valentine's Day to us all. Thank you Charisma.

Holiday Spirits - Smirnoff's New Whipped Cream and Marshmallow Flavored Vodkas.

To some they may sound appealing, others may become nauseous, but yes, Smirnoff Vodka now comes Fluffed and Whipped. Two new dessert-type flavors (coined "confectionary" flavors by the alcohol industry) made to taste like marshmallow and whipped cream.

The Sexiest Blackgama Ads Over the Past 43 Years and Interesting Trivia about the Campaign.

One of the most beautiful and enduring ad campaigns of all time doesn't get a lot of press because of its controversial product - real fur. But Blackglama has kept their same ad campaign and headline for over 40 years and it still works. Photographs of the world's most beautiful women - and in a few cases, men - wrapped in the world's finest black ranch mink.

In this post I will share with you what I feel are the sexiest ads from the campaign, the ones that truly warrant a "legend" status, the only males in the campaign, other work inspired by the ads and some juicy trivia. But first, a little background on how the ad campaign began.

In 1968, New York ad executive Jane Trahey conceived of the campaign and invented the name "Blackglama." She felt that fur wouldn't show up well in the photography so she devised a 'gimmick' - this being the association with someone very famous. The campaign was executed by her associate, Peter Rogers, who later, in 1974, bought out the firm and continued with the campaign. He also wrote the 1979 book "What Becomes A Legend Most?" about the campaign. More trivia about the campaign after the images.



The following images are my personal picks for the sexiest photos since the campaign began, shown from most recent to the earliest. I have chosen portraits that exude sexiness in different ways. Some show a lot of skin, others possess a come hither look in the subject's eyes that are just as sensual. You may be thinking it's odd that I chose to include Angela Lansbury and Julie Andrews in a man's suit (a nod to her role in Victor, Victoria) or a bundled up Lauren Bacall, but one look at their expressions and you'll see that many women certainly feel sexy when wrapped in the word's finest fur.

Trivia and tidbits about the Blackglama ad campaign:

• Photographer Richard Avedon shot the campaign for the first five years. Underrated American photographer Bill King, who died of AIDS in 1987, followed Avedon. Rocco Laspata of Laspata/Decaro has been shooting the campaign since then.

• With the exception of color photos in the 2004 and 2005 campaigns featuring Cindy Crawford and Elle Macpherson respectively, the portraits were always shot in black and white.

•Although the typeface has changed twice since the campaign's inception (first Cooper Black condensed, then Bodoni Condensed, and finally Optima) the ads have always had the same headline "What becomes a Legend most?*"

• *Originally, the line was typeset with an initial cap on the words "what" and "legend" only, when the typeface was changed from the original, the headline was set with all initial caps.

• From 2001 through 2009, the campaign featured supermodels (Linda Evangelista, Gisele Bündchen, Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Naomi Campbell and Elizabeth Hurley) as opposed to screen and entertainment legends. This is also the year that more than one ad was shot for the campaign so as to show more available products from the brand.

• As of 1980, the models were never paid nor did their names appear on the ads, but they each received a coat of their choice. I do not know if this is still the case.

• Actress Claudette Colbert appeared in the campaign twice, once in 1971 and again in 1989:


•Liza Minelli, Lillian Hellman and Bette Davis all posed with lit cigarettes:


• Janet Jackson is the only model to be featured in the campaign for two consecutive years in a row (2010 and 2011).

• Andy Warhol was so fond of the Judy Garland ad in the campaign that he turned it into one of famous colored silkscreens:


• Carol Burnett was the only one to turn down a coat and instead asked for the money to be donated to charity:


• The only men to ever pose for the campaign were Ray Charles, Tommy Tune, Luciano Pavorotti and Rudolf Nureyev. Frank Sinatra bowed out at the last minute.



• Dolly Parton, Katharine Hepburn and Jackie Onassis turned down repeated offers to star in the campaign.

• In 1984 Joan Rivers released a comedy album on whose cover she posed as a Blackglama ad with the line altered to read "What Becomes a Semi-Legend Most?:


• PETA created their own mock version (below) of the ad campaign with Amy Sedaris in protest:


• Artist Mark Verabioff's “The Blackglama Insurgents” 2005, included 18 page tears from the campaign marked with masculine gestures in spray paint referencing male sexual pleasure and violence:



"All legends share a timelessness, a glamour, an endurance that goes beyond what’s currently or merely in vogue." -- Peter Rogers
