“red hot party”
last night Seven-o-Seven Contemporary hosted a red carpet event
the “red hot party”
they featured my art along with 3 other artists
i couldn’t believe how many people were there
there are 9 big gallery rooms within Seven-o-Seven
and each room had wall to wall people
there was lots of food, drink, and music
even a performance piece…the whole thing reminded me of my college days in NYC
thanks to all who came, i love you guys!

you can see more pictures…
…before the guests arrived

here i am with Kendra (the owner of Seven-o-Seven)

this is Kendra’s precious little doggie
who is a permanent fixture at the gallery

“i modeled for this painting!”

It really looks like it was a spectacular night! You look gorgeous… and ah, when did Brett decide to go for a full beard????

Yes! You look beautiful as always! Brett is a cutie as always, but, but I am very concerned about the full beard. What’s up with the full beard?
LOVE!

Everyone wants to know about the beard. Brett started the beard after he returned from a trip to California. I think he just wanted to go for a more relaxed look. The only other time i remember him doing a beard was in 1994 when we were first dating.

Brett Says:
Torey, You got a problem with my beard?
August 3rd, 2007 at 1:20 am
YES!!!!!!
Dude, I have a problem with the beard. You need to hack that sucker off! Like now, and then give me an update! AND you know I say this with the utmost love and adoration for you! David lets things run amuck sometimes too, and it seriously cramps his outer hottness. Don’t let this happen to you!
I love you and I’m being a dork, but also yes, shave the beard.

concerning maggie and torey’s comments about brett’s “full beard”
brett says:
“deal with it, ladies!”

Hey now, Brett… calm down! I never said I didn’t like the beard. I was just curious. And it is a well-known fact that beards do age men. I wasn’t being mean, I promise. Besides, you could wear it for a while and you’ll be able to take like a good 15 years off when you decide to ditch it… then Ali will think you are super hot. It might actually be a good strategy.

after hearing all of the comments about my “full beard”

To the ladies who think I look like geriatric dog crap run amuck because I’m sporting a ‘f u l l b e a r d’ well, I shaved it off and not to re-coup any ‘outer hotness’ or get back 15 years of my life either I did it because crumbs get caught in there and become a biological hazard and I’m not having any of that plus, beard + VW van= traffic stop and search. After I shaved the beard off it looks like I don’t have a chin anymore (my 4 year old said I look ‘weird’ without the beard) My daughter agrees that my chin has somehow dissapeared and I look like a cartoon character. Same thing happend to Alex Trabek when he lost the mustache -his upper lip is strange and I really want him to get that stasch back

Well, I think there is a good lesson to be learned here, Brett: facial hair is generally a bad idea… except in Uncle Raymond’s case (and maybe Alex Trabek). It is itchy, unsanitary, aging, and apparently now we have learned that it somehow physically alters facial features (scary but possibly true).
You know, looking at the bearded picture, I wonder if you chin appeared to be more prominant because the hair on each side of the chin was gray thus widening the overall look. Something to consider.
