Fa La La La La, La La La Leigh

I’ve known Leigh Lezark for a few years; I met her first through Trent or Sarah when Misshapes still occurred at Luke & Leroy, and before Madonna came in and helped turn the party into a worldwide cultural obsession instead of just a New York phenomenon. When I first met her, the web and NY gossip columns were abuzz about what a cold bitch they imagined she was, so I was pleasantly surprised back then when right away she was super nice and fun to hang around with.

Leigh’s always been gorgeous and sought after by fashion media and designers alike, but ever since she signed with IMG she’s been doing crazy photo shoots and magazine covers around the world with the most amazing photographers. Christian and I wanted to include her in his book, so we did a little shoot yesterday at home and managed to get some amazing stuff considering how limited my equipment was (I’m waiting for some new bulbs to arrive).

In addition to my last post of a photo of our Christmas tree here in Brooklyn, here’s an IM conversation particularly representative of my family, which I had with my mom about her own Christmas decorations back in Ohio:

MOM: [My little brother] Rob’s playing with the nativity scene, laughing and saying in a sick voice “dead baby Jesus.”
MOM: The three kneeling kings are about to be executed.

BRAD: You have a nativity scene?

MOM: Todd’s mom gave it to me. Precious Moments.
MOM: I have it up here on my ledge in the hall with a bunch of gold Buddhas.
MOM: “Baby Jesus is about to kill Charlie’s Angels”
MOM: I have to go watch.
