SASHAY, SHANTAY





Even in her salad days, Janice Dickinson couldn't touch Suzy Parker with a ten-foot pole.

Ms. Parker was probably the dominant model of the 1950's. She went on to star in a few films (Kiss Them For Me, The Best Of Everything) and marry actor Bradford Dillman. The two lived in Santa Barbara, where she was involved in liberal political causes and candidates (makes me love her even more). She past away in 2003.

The first two shots are of Ms. Parker and director Mike Nichols. The two were featured in an editorial layout for either Vogue or Harper's Bazaar (I can't remember). They are portraying a celebrity couple trying to get away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi.

So timely, right?

An amusing side note, Nichols once gave me the fuzzy eye ball in the dining room of the Savoy Hotel in London back in 2006.
