Whose This Guy?

I'll try to keep it short, but that fly old geezer on my blog header up above is Karl Lagerfeld (wikipedia him right here), and this guy is AWESOME. I mean one look above and you don't need me to tell you that...this famous fashion designer (have you heard of Chanel? Fendi?) apparently does whatever the HECK he wants. He's eccentric, controversial, and pretty much an overall fashionable bad ass, no matter what you think about him. I wonder if he's somebody's grampa? Wouldn't that be a trip?!

Lastly, this epic photo was taken by my photographer friend Walter Grio. I met Walter around 2006 when he was getting into photography. He loves fashion and he is a total philanthropist; so he created Shoot For Change....he'd shoot concept fashion shoots for clients and donate 100% of the cost to the charity of the client's choice.  How AWESOME is that?

Now, Walter is in Washington DC, has a BAD ASS Fashion Photography Blog called Fashiontographer with a zillion followers and has PHOTOGRAPHED FASHION WEEK IN PARIS. And probably New York Fashion Week. And now, Shoot For Change money goes to sponsor ballet chicks get into the prestigious American Ballet Theater School.
