The Model, the Murderer, and Blood Diamonds
British-born model and courtroom regular Naomi Campbell has again managed to piss off a bench full of judges and prosecutors. Campbell was recently ordered to give evidence at the war crimes trial of Liberia’s ex-president, Charles Taylor. The UN-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone, based in The Hague, issued a subpoena forcing Campbell to appear... »
Paddy Plays Fast and Loose with Lenzr
This morning I found Paddy rooting through my makeup portfolio photos. When I asked him what he was doing he said he was looking for photos to submit to the latest lenzr photo contests. “There are four running right now,” he said. “We should be able to win at least one or two.” “Take the... »
Judy Sgro’s Fear of a Pro City

We at AHM are outraged that a little implied sex on TV has gotten people so fired up, and that the audience’s reactions can... »
Snapping for SWAG
Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of working with many local photographers, some good, some adequate, none bad. Because of my experiences our intern Paddy has been bugging me to take up snapping myself. “It’s not like you’ve never worked behind a camera,” he said. “Why not give it a go?” To emphasize his... »
