The Family Silver

Posted by Dan | Posted on 14-03-2011

Western Glove Works have been making workwear since 1921.  Last time I checked, there was only one other company making workwear longer… but their name escapes me.  Anyway, WGW’s flagship brand - Silver Jeans Co. is about to shoot the FW’11 campaign.  Last time we took off to shoot in Big Sur (see movie below).  This time we prefer to be somewhere that we can order from a pizza restaurant that doesn’t have squirrel as a topping option (I’m nearly vegan for goodness sake) and where we can show just a little more of the edgier side of SJC.  I’m hoping it will be equally as much fun though, and as we’ve worked with these guys for a while now, something tells me it will be.

Bachelor’s Ball 2011

Posted by Dan | Posted on 01-03-2011

The Bachelor’s Ball has been going on for over 100 years.  What’s for certain is that this year’s ball was as good as anything that could have gone on before.  Why?  Well apart from the fact that Warren Noronha and I were there, it had to be the most unreal group of fancy dressed crazy assed individuals this side of… well… Wonderland.

Guess which one is me...

That was the ’secret’ theme you see… Alice in Wonderland.  What was rather odd was the fact that Sameer, our friend who was the member of this elite group of bachelors, without knowing, also got each of his 32 guests to dress as a character from the very same surreal book/movie.  Coincidence?  Well…aparently yes, but what a coincidence it was!
As Sameer owns a tea company, he, of course, went as The Mad Hatter, whereas I was the rabbit and Warren, the Cheshire (pronounced Cheshuh!) Cat.

How was the night?  Well, I don’t remember so much, but I do know that I can’t remember a better sight than 1000 people dressed in every outfit you could imagine going crazy to Billy Jean played live by the amazing house band.

And it is always the sign of a good night when it is light when I got home.  ’You’re very late’, said me missus (who herself had been at the Diesel/Purple party).
I was indeed very late.  But I was the rabbit after all.
Thanks to Sameer and the ‘32′.  You’re all top drawer!!!!!

Jack White, Wanda Jackson, and Bob Dylan-What Else Do You Need?

Posted by Dan | Posted on 19-01-2011

When you combine Jack White, Wanda Jackson, and Bob Dylan, you can’t really go wrong. That said, Jackson and White have been working on a cover of Dylan’s “Thunder on the Mountain.”
The video for the song features the Third Man House Band, with White on lead guitar looking phenomenal in Ben Sherman!
