IGGY POP ~ DAVID BOWIE

"So...you ready for this?" As I sleepily asked my nephew that following Sunday morning. My voice was still cracking. Barely awake from the previous evening's events. I mentioned what my ideas were to him once...maybe twice... no more than that.

It involved MUSIC. ATTITUDE. ROCKSTAR.

"Ya, sure." He casually responded. He's been ready. Seems like he's always ready to meet up with his auntie Nancy's crazy creative ideas. I have so much to learn from this person's incredible generosity, boundless creativity and unyielding quiet confidence.

I love this kid.

Everyone, meet Ken.

Bowie, Iggy and a bit of New York Dolls playing in the background got us all hyped up for this shoot. To put on bright, colorful makeup on a guy and have him channel a 70's rockstar stance was a feat, especially since my nephew was born in the mid-80's. Queue in "Hair Bands". Hahaha! We had a blast!

Ken, Thank you for your audacity to step up to the plate! I appreciate all you do, all you give and all you create. Keep honing your skills. YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!! I can't wait for you to share your gifts to the world.
