Simon’s Cat by Simon Tofield

JUST Added!

The feline Internet phenomenon makes his way onto the page in this first-ever book based on the popular animated series. Based on Simon Tofield’s animations that have taken YouTube by storm, SIMON’S CAT depicts and exaggerates the hilarious relationship between a man and his cat. The daily escapades of this adorable pet, which always involve demanding more food, and his exasperated but doting owner, come to life through simple black-and-white line drawings. With a huge fan following that is growing even larger by the day, SIMON’S CAT is set to become a major new comic creation.

• Simon Tofield’s three short Simon’s Cat animations have received 21.9 million hits on YouTube in less than a year! • As seen by the success of the # 1 New York Times bestseller Dewey (GCP 2008), books about cats and their relationships with their owners are hugely popular with readers. • SIMON’S CAT will appeal to fans of I Can Has Cheezburger?, a feline-focused Web site that became a New York Times bestselling book (Gotham, 2008). • Simon’s Cat has won a number of awards, including YouTube’s Blockbuster Award and Best Comedy at the British Animation Awards.

Maurice BASKINE Né en 1901 à Kharkov Russie), mort en 1968 à Paris.

Successivement employé de banque, comptable,

représentant de commerce, il découvrit l’alchimie en 1937 dans la Lettre du Cosmopolite d’Alexandre Séthon, et commença à chercher la pierre philosophale dans la villa de Fontenay-sous-Bois qu’il habitait avec sa femme. En s’inspirant du symbolisme des alchimistes, il fabriqua aussi des images peintes et des objets en plâtre coloré de façon à imiter la matière du Grand Œuvre. En 1945, il exposa à la galerie Katia Granoff Le Temple du Mas, qui attira l’attention de Jean Dubuffet. Lors de l’Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme de 1947, il présenta chez Maeght Le Mas goth, figurant à la fois une double tête de Janus et une mandragore. André Breton lui demanda d’illustrer de trois eaux-fortes l’édition de luxe d’Arcane 17 (édition de 1947). Maurice Baskine inventa la « fantasophie », système de pensée comparable à une philosophie de la fantaisie (ou du fantasme). Se qualifiant de « dernier des Alchimistes, premier Fantasophe », Maurice Baskine était effarouché par le public : il demeura sans voix au début d’une conférence contre les prophéties de Nostradamus que ses amis surréalistes lui avaient demandé de faire à l’Hôtel Lutétia. Sa femme s’étant séparée de lui, il s’installa en 1951 dans la mansarde d’un immeuble du boulevard Edgar Quinet. Simone Collinet le soutint en lui organisant deux expositions à la galerie Furstenberg (en 1952 et en 1957), et une présentation d’un seul jour (le 6 octobre 1954) de son retable La Mère folle (Paris, Musée d’Art moderne). En 1964, Baskine exposa son triptyque Fantasophopolis (2 x 5m) à la rétrospective du Surréalisme de la galerie Charpentier, et en 1968, Le Conquérant de l’espace au Salon de Mai. Il a peint en technique mixte des séries : Androgynes, Les Travaux, Personnages aux sceaux, Ogives, Prophètes. Son principal collectionneur, Jean Saucet, montra en 1990 tout ce qu’il possédait de lui au Grenier du Chapitre de Cahors. Depuis lors, la plupart des œuvres de Mau-

rice Basquine – y compris son album d’encres Bacchanales, ses suites Les Treize Heures de ma Mère l’Oye (36 planches), Cris de lumière captés dans l’Un-fini (33 planches) – sont conservées par le musée d’Art moderne de Cordes-sur-Ciel, dans le Tarn. Cette petite cité médiévale du temps des Cathares possède une Maison des Surréalistes où l’on peut se renseigner sur la fantasophie et voir le film Maurice Baskine de Jean Desvilles, commenté par Paul Sanda.

Hans BELLMER Né en 1902 à Katowice, Silésie, mort en 1975 à Paris.

Pour obéir à la volonté de son père qui était ingé-

nieur et voulait lui imposer ce métier, Bellmer dut travailler dans une mine de charbon, puis dans une aciérie, avant de s’inscrire en 1923 à la Technische Hochschule de Berlin. Il ne tarda pas à abandonner ses études, afin de se livrer tout entier à sa passion du dessin. Il s’initia à cet art auprès de George Grosz, et travailla comme typographe aux éditions Malik, réalisant aussi des illustrations et des couvertures de livres. En 1927, devenu dessinateur en publicité industrielle, il se maria et ouvrit une agence à Berlin-Karlshorst. Diverses circonstances – la découverte d’une caisse contenant ses jouets d’enfant, une représentation des Contes d’Hoffmann mis en scène par Max Reinhardt – l’incitèrent à inventer une « fille artificielle ». En 1933, décidant d’interrompre toute activité utile à l’État pour protester contre le nazisme, il entreprit la construction de cette poupée, avec l’aide de sa femme, de son frère et d’une petite cousine ; quelques manches à balais assemblés et articulés composèrent son squelette. Il la photographia en différentes positions, développa à son sujet une mythologie qu’il exprima dans un livre publié à compte d’auteur. Ces photos enthousiasmèrent les surréalistes, qui présentèrent sa Poupée en 1935 dans Minotaure. Bellmer poursuivit ses recherches, dans le but de recréer l’anatomie de la femme, fabriqua en 1937 une seconde Poupée com-

Renowned as America’s pre-eminent black-and-white landscape photographer, Ansel Adams began to photograph in color soon after Kodachrome ďŹ lm was invented in the mid 1930s. He made nearly 3,500 color photographs, a small fraction of which were published for the ďŹ rst time in the 1993 edition of ANSEL ADAMS IN COLOR. In this newly revised and expanded edition, 20 unpublished photographs have been added. New digital scanning and printing technologies also mean that the book now offers a more faithful representation of Adams’s color photography.

landmark publication that sheds new light on the work and working methods of Norman Rockwell, America’s most celebrated illustrator. NORMAN ROCKWELL: BEHIND THE CAMERA is the first book to explore the meticulously composed and richly detailed photographs that Norman Rockwell used to create his famous artworks. Working alongside skilled photographers, Rockwell acted as director, carefully orchestrating models, selecting props, and choosing locations for the photographs—works of art in their own right—that served as the basis of his iconic images. In this groundbreaking book, author and historian Ron Schick delves into the archive of nearly 20,000 photographs housed at the Norman Rockwell Museum. Featuring reproductions of Rockwell’s black-and-white photographs and related full-color artworks, along with an incisive narrative and quotes from Rockwell models and family members, this book will intrigue anyone interested in photography, art, and Americana. • A tie-in touring exhibition opens at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, in November 2009. • Rockwell’s study photographs have never been examined or collected for publication or exhibition. • The introduction is by Stephanie Plunkett, chief curator of the Norman Rockwell Museum. The foreword is by John Rockwell, Norman Rockwell’s grandson and president of the Norman Rockwell Family Agency.

Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera Ron Schick Foreword by John Rockwell 978-0-316-00693-4 $40.00 ($49.99 in Canada) • Art • 9 x 11 • 224 pages 150 b/w photos, 60 4/c illustrations • Rights: World Editor: Michael Sand

Advance praise for NORMAN ROCKWELL: BEHIND THE CAMERA: “What a wonderful book this is—and what a rare behindthe-scenes look at the artistic process it provides. So many of the moments we see as impossibly idealized versions of us, are in fact us. Rockwell’s genius improves with this ‘backstage’ glance.”

MICHELLE OBAMA A LIFE IN PICTURES

michelle obama a life in pictures BY THE EDITORS OF LIFE Her husband’s American journey has been told, but no less fascinating is the inspiring path that Michelle Obama has taken from a modest upbringing in Chicago to the White House. Hers was the family unit that Barack Obama—whose father abandoned his mother when he was not yet two—had always longed for— a mother, father (who worked for the city, and older brother who loved, nurtured, and supported her. A child of achievement in the public schools of Hyde Park, she followed her basketball-star brother to Princeton, and then she went on to Harvard Law School. She returned to Chicago and joined a big firm (which is where she met Barack, during his summer internship) but left that job to give legal aid to the community. Now, this exemplary, vivacious woman is our First Lady.

On the arm of the dashing young senator from Massachusetts—the man who would be President—she captured the nation’s imagination, and then its heart. LIFE magazine was there for every chapter in her thrilling journey; she made the magazine’s cover years before she made it to the White House. Here, in a pictorial biography featuring the work of several of LIFE’s most famous shooters, we re-visit not only the glorious years of Camelot in Washington, but also Jackie’s later life as a dedicated and proud mother to John Jr. and Caroline in New York City.

Supernatural supernatural fascination with the

Why are people fascinated with all things supernatural?

In all likelihood, because when we marvel or experience awe, we are intrigued by the thought of a world beyond the one we can experience.

Jesus worked many other miracles for his disciples, and not all of them are written in this book. But these are written so that you will put your faith in Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God. If you have faith in him, you will have true life. – John 20:30–31

The thrill we feel at the possibility of the supernatural is somewhat like the thrill a child experiences when listening to a scary story— We feel the suspense of not knowing what will happen next, of considering a world where someone or something is not obliged to obey the laws we are bound to, and to know there might be something beyond what we experience with our five senses. The Bible is a book that offers questions as well as answers about the supernatural world. While the people who experienced the extraordinary events described throughout this book held a different perspective on them than the perspective of the modern world, their stories still speak to us. In this modern world where we have so many answers at our fingertips, these events remind us of the mystery that is a part of life and faith. A Reading from Mark 9:14-24 When Jesus and his three disciples came back down, they saw a large crowd around the other disciples.The teachers of the Law of Moses were arguing with them. The crowd was really surprised to see Jesus, and everyone hurried over to greet him. Jesus asked,“What are you arguing about?” Someone from the crowd answered,“Teacher, I brought my son to you. A demon keeps him from talking.Whenever the demon attacks my son, it throws him to the ground and makes him foam at the mouth and grit his teeth in pain.Then he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to force out the demon, but they couldn’t do it.” Jesus said,“You people don’t have any faith! How much longer must I be with you?Why do I have to put up with you? Bring the boy to me.” They brought the boy, and as soon as the demon saw Jesus, it made the boy shake all over. He fell down and began rolling on the ground and foaming at the mouth. Jesus asked the boy’s father,“How long has he been like this?” The man answered,“Ever since he was a child.The demon has often tried to kill him by throwing him into a fire or into water. Please have pity and help us if you can!” Jesus replied,“Why do you say `if you can’? Anything is possible for someone who has faith!” Right away the boy’s father shouted,“I do have faith! Please help me to have even more.”

THE BIBLE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF MARK 16:20

Then the disciples left and preached everywhere. The Lord was with them, and the miracles they worked proved that their message was true. ACTS 14:3

Paul and Barnabas stayed there for a while, having faith in the Lord and bravely speaking his message. The Lord gave them the power to work miracles and wonders, and he showed that their message about his gift of undeserved grace was true.

The word miracle usually brings to mind that which is thought impossible—that which defies the laws of nature. But the reason for a miracle is just as important as its occurrence.

Many Old Testament miracles were understood to be signs of God’s judgment—a catastrophic flood, the destruction of wicked cities, or the plagues of Egypt, for example. Others were viewed as God’s protection—the sun stopped in its tracks to help an army win or an enemy army struck blind. There were also miracles of deliverance and salvation. After leaving Egypt, the Israelites crossed the dry bed of a parted sea; they ate a steady diet of miraculously supplied quail and manna in the desert; and they experienced a deliverance from venomous snake bites. There were also great escapes, like Daniel’s deliverance from the lion’s den and the protection of his companions in the fiery furnace. The New Testament records many healing miracles, both during and after the ministry of Jesus. Those who were paralyzed walked again. The dead came back to life. Jesus also performed miracles to provide for people’s most basic needs—multiplying food and calming storms. All these miracles served to suggest a spiritual realm that exists beyond the world as we know it.

Creation creation

ANGELS

When considering what many consider to be the miracles of the Bible, perhaps no account engenders more debate than the creation narrative of Genesis 1. Some view the account as an either/or kind of proposition—a scientific process or a God-induced process. For those ancients who first heard and interacted with this account, however, no such schism existed. These ancients viewed the world far more synthetically, more like a stage which both humanity and deity interacted with each other. However the modern world chooses to define the process used, according to Genesis, God spoke the world into existence. The first chapter of the Bible describes a six-day structure with God resting from his creative work on the seventh day. A Reading from Genesis 1:1–2:2

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth . . . God said,“I command light to shine!” And light started shining. God . . . named the light “Day” and the darkness “Night” . . . —that was the first day. God said,“I command a dome to separate the water above it from the water below it.” And that’s what happened. God . . . named it “Sky” . . . —that was the second day. God said,“I command the water under the sky to come together in one place, so there will be dry ground” . . .“I command the earth to produce all kinds of plants, including fruit trees and grain.” And that’s what happened . . . —that was the third day. God said,“I command lights to appear in the sky and to separate day from night and to show the time for seasons, special days, and years . . .” God made two powerful lights, the brighter one to rule the day and the other to rule the night. He also made the stars . .. —that was the fourth day. God said,“I command the ocean to be full of living creatures, and I command birds to fly above the earth.” So God made the giant sea monsters and all the living creatures that swim in the ocean. He also made every kind of bird . . . —that was the fifth day. God said,“I command the earth to give life to all kinds of tame animals, wild animals, and reptiles” . . . God said,“Now we will make humans, and they will be like us.We will let them rule the fish, the birds, and all other living creatures” . . . God looked at what he had done. All of it was very good. . . . —that was the sixth day.

CHAPTER 1

MIRACLES

Miracle in the Mirror In the Genesis account, God made human beings on the sixth day of creation. Just as nature reveals a variety of designs working together to sustain life, the human body is like a curtain that, when pulled back, reveals one intricate system after another. We need look no further than our own reflection to see the mystery of God’s design. A drop of our blood contains about 250 million cells. There are 1,300 nerve endings in just one square inch of our hand. For the duration of our lives, our hearts never rest for more than a second.

Creation Described from a Different Point of View The Bible teaches that God created the world by his wisdom. Proverbs 8 is written from the first person perspective of Wisdom personified. In this account, Wisdom describes the world before it took the form that we recognize— oceans, springs, clouds, fields, dust—and describes her own role in the process.

PROVERBS 22:8-31 “ From the beginning, I was with the LORD. I was there before he began to create the earth. At the very first, the LORD gave life to me. When I was born, there were no oceans or springs of water. My birth was before mountains were formed or hills were put in place. It happened long before God had made the earth or any of its fields or even the dust. I was there when the LORD put the heavens in place and stretched the sky over the surface of the sea. I was with him when he placed the clouds in the sky and created the springs that fill the ocean. I was there when he set boundaries for the sea to make it obey him, and when he laid foundations to support the earth. I was right beside the LORD, helping him plan and build. I made him happy each day, and I was happy at his side. I was pleased with his world and pleased with its people.”

God said...

The typical adult human is an example of the miraculous. Made up of 206 bones, covered by twice as many muscles, the body has a system for breathing, blood circulation, digestion, health-preservation, and selfhealing. We wear our largest organ of all on the outside—our skin. The average adult has at least twenty square feet of it. Our skin is waterproof, self-repairing, and constantly shedding and renewing itself. The human body is yet another miracle in an already marvelous creation. Human blood cells in vein

So the heavens and the earth and everything else were created. By the seventh day God had finished his work, and so he rested.

Lady, You Look Fabulous!!!!

Looking fierce* is the obvious place to start.

After all, people notice how you look before they notice much else. And finding your

own look is more than just aesthetics—your clothes and your personal style make a statement to the world. Don’t you want to control whether the world sees you as

ferosh* or a hot tranny mess?* I thought so! 4 / INTRODUCTION

If you were a theater-loving kid with a flair for the dramatic, you might be drawn to unexpected, high-impact looks like oversized collars or striking jewelry. Urban Outfitters has fun, inexpensive accessories, like big earrings and long beaded necklaces. A top from Urban with a pattern print and bold color is another good bet, or a pair of jeans in an unusual color, like purple or red, could be fun as well (though I still love classic black skinny jeans to offset a dramatic top). Maybe you’ve always been a real girlie-girl—the type of kid who would never go anywhere unless she was in a party dress. Today, your options for dressing in really feminine looks are endless! Romantic styles, like florals, lace, and ruffles are always girly and flirty. You can find ruffled dresses pretty much anywhere, but some good brands to start with include bebe, Rebecca Taylor, and Milly. And you can always go über-feminine in your accessories. If you want to step it up a notch on the sophistication scale, there is nothing more ladylike than a strand of pearls or two. And finally, for you former tomboys out there, you might embrace a menswear-inspired look today. A wide-leg trouser pant (available in tons of places—check out H&M or department stores like Nordstrom, and Christian Siriano Spring 2009, of course) paired with a white button-down shirt can be a fun way to dress 8 / LADY, YOU LOOK FABULOUS!!!!

Vivienne Westwood (the individual) Now her look is crazy! Vivienne Anne Hathaway (the quirky chameleon) Anne is superelegant for her age, and she’s totally old Hollywood. She reminds me of Jackie O. Totally gorg,* right? She could go to the Preakness in a giant hat, sunglasses, and pearls. But then the next day you could see her in a leather minidress! She’s very classy, so she can pull off all sorts of different looks and it’s never a trashy situation. I just love her—she’s quirky in a way. Quirky elegant!

wears all her own clothes: big muumuu-style, drapey, printed dresses and funky, high-heeled buckled boots, and her hair is dyed red-and-orange. So how does she manage to keep it fabulous when the same outfit would look a hot tranny mess* on someone else? Because (this is an important one, trannies, so take note) all fashion depends on who’s wearing it. Some clothes wear the person and some people wear the clothes. Vivienne’s been dressing this way since it was okay to wear crazy weird outfits back in the ’60s and ’70s (unlike today, when it’s cool to hate on what people wear). I totally admire her.

Inspire Me!!!!

Well, my divas, by now you should be looking, feeling, and acting totally fierce.* But before you unleash all that fabulousness* out in the world, I want to share with you some fearless final reasons that I’ve become the person I am today—my inspirations. Inspirations are so important when it comes to being fierce. In determining the way that you look, feel, and act, you always need to be inspired. Inspirations are like your material for being a fierce diva! I’m sure you’ll be able to see how my inspirations influenced my style, personality, and designs, and I hope that it will get you thinking about what inspires you.

Shift

dress style primer

A shape that took hold in the sixties (think Jackie O.), the shift is a slightly loose, straight dress with an un defined waist. Its hem hits just above or below the knee.

Dresses come in almost every shape imaginable. Below are core styles you should know to help you navigate through the options.

Full This full dress has a fitted torso paired with a pleated, ample skirt. Some skirts have layers underneath to give them a bell shape.

Wrap Taking a cue from the traditional Japanese kimono, the wrap dress crisscrosses the front of the body and ties at the waist. It is a fitted style that highlights curves.

A-line An A-line is essentially a shift with side seams that gently flare from the armhole down to the hemline, giving the dress a tent, or A, shape.

Shirtdress Based on the silhouette of a man’s button-front shirt, a shirtdress can be collared or not, features front buttons and is often belted.

Empire Sheath Halter Halter dresses are backless and tie at the nape of the neck. Beyond that, they can be long, short, fitted or loose.

3

A clean-cut, usually sleeveless dress— similar to a shift but cut closer to the body—with a nippedin waist and a kneelength hemline.

Strapless A strapless dress may be full or fitted and short or long in length, but it will always have a bare, no-strap top that shows off the shoulders and décolleté.

An Empire dress has a high waistline that starts just below the bosom. Often if there are sleeves, they are narrow in shape for balance. Front gathers soften the silhouette.

A solid green dress turns into an entirely different outfit with the addition of a bejeweled belt and a shimmery clutch—the perfect way to take an outfit from day to night.

Don’t be afraid to mix bright accessories with an already colorful dress. The contrast can be quite striking. A bold necklace makes for the perfect statement piece.

A white blouse is just one of many layering options to wear under a sleeveless dress; a black turtleneck is equally classic. For a flash of color, try red under a gray dress like this one. 8

little black dress essentials

Since the twenties, women have relied on the allure of the little black dress for everything from work to dinner dates to red carpet moments. While simple options are usually best for everyday wear, donning an LBD after 5 o’clock calls for a little more.

Romantic

Chiffon, lace, tulle or feathers, soft silhouettes and accents including bows and ruffles are the components that make up highly feminine LBDs. Nothing says romance like RACHEL BILSON’s ruffled, girly dress and strappy shoes. 9

Sophisticated

These dresses have architectural seam details and strong lines. They are best for the true minimalist (but can be punched up with playful accessories). LUCY LIU is chic in a classic, perfectly fitted dress paired with an elegant updo.

Sexy

This style often uses straps, plunging necklines and body-hugging cuts to accentuate everything. Keep it tasteful— a little goes a long way. CHARLIZE THERON sizzles in a slew of straps. Simple, classic shoes balance the look.

Edgy

Asymmetrical necklines, short hemlines, strap details, grommets, jet beading and hints of leather can give LBDs a slightly tough stance. HEIDI KLUM makes leather look elegant (and shows off her toned upper body , too). 10

Stunningly elegant, warmly traditional, or coolly minimal, all living rooms have a major element in common—comfort. They are, obviously, rooms for living, for relaxing at the end of the day by reading, watching television, or enjoying a conversation with family and friends. So when it comes to furnishing this important space, focus on reality rather than fantasy. “Your living room should grow out of the needs of your daily life,â€? pioneering interior decorator Elsie de Wolfe wrote in her 1913 book The House in Good Taste. That advice from one of the design industry’s early doyennes holds true nearly a century later. If smart parties, memorable hors d’oeuvres, and the perfect little black dress are deďŹ ning aspects of your world, then a living room outďŹ tted with soignĂŠ antiques and luxu-

enlivened by children or pets, casual materials designed to age well and hold up to daily wear and tear might be more appropriate, among them crisp linen and cotton, hard-wearing wool-mohair, tough but sophisticated leather, even sturdy corduroy. Whether the desired atmosphere is practical or posh, though, certain common-sense rules apply. A variety of silhouettes and materials contributes energy and interest. Chairs and sofas should range from leanly tailored to invitingly plump, and a combination of wood, metal, and painted surfaces adds visual and tactile animation. Remember lighting is as much about task as it is about illumination, from casting the right amount of light to read a book to showcasing a work of art or a photo collection. Seek out occasional tables with character and place them within easy reach to offer guests somewhere to set a cup of coffee or a ute of Champagne. And personal treasures are always the essential ďŹ nishing touch. n

LIVING ROOMS Stunningly elegant, warmly traditional, or coolly minimal, all living rooms have a major element in common—comfort. They are, obviously, rooms for living, for relaxing at the end of the day by reading, watching television, or enjoying a conversation with family and friends. So when it comes to furnishing this important space, focus on reality rather than fantasy. “Your living room should grow out of the needs of your daily life,” pioneering interior decorator Elsie de Wolfe wrote in her 1913 book The House in Good Taste. That advice from one of the design industry’s early doyennes holds true nearly a century later. If smart parties, memorable hors d’oeuvres, and the perfect little black dress are defining aspects of your world, then a living room outfitted with soigné antiques and luxurious silk damasks could be the perfect setting. For homeowners whose lifestyles are easygoing and enlivened by children or pets, casual materials designed to age well and hold up to daily wear and tear might be more appropriate, among them crisp linen and cotton, hard-wearing wool-mohair, tough but sophisticated leather, even sturdy corduroy. Whether the desired atmosphere is practical or posh, though, certain common-sense rules apply. A variety of silhouettes and materials contributes energy and interest. Chairs and sofas should range from leanly tailored to invitingly plump, and a combination of wood, metal, and painted surfaces adds visual and tactile animation. Remember lighting is as much about task as it is about illumination, from casting the right amount of light to read a book to showcasing a work of art or a photo collection. Seek out occasional tables with character and place them within easy reach to offer guests somewhere to set a cup of coffee or a flute of Champagne. And personal treasures are always the essential finishing touch. n

Very, very simple. This is one of the most versatile salads I make. It goes well with any protein, and it functions like a vegetable and salad all in one. If you are doubling or tripling this dish—or any of my salads—for a large party, serve the dressing on the side, so that if there are any leftovers you can keep the greens fresh and bright. Once a salad is dressed, the vinegar begins to break down the greens and they’ll wilt if not used in a very short time. If you know you’ll eat all the salad right away, go ahead and toss with the dressing. If you use artisanal-quality oil-marinated roasted red peppers and artichokes from a jar, this recipe takes you almost no time at all and the result will be almost as good as if you made your own from scratch. Just be sure to buy premium European brands, and get the best greens possible. This is a fantastic side salad for grilled souvlaki. And by the way, souvlaki—shish kebab—doesn’t have to be pork or chicken; it can be beef, or lamb, or swordfish, or scallops, or shrimp.

1 small head frisée 2 cups baby arugula leaves 1 recipe Grilled Onions (page 270) 1 large fire-roasted red bell pepper (page 270) home-roasted or storebought, cut into strips 6 large sun-dried tomatoes, cut into thick strips 4 cloves Garlic Confit (page 264), optional

3 pieces Artichoke Confit (page 267), halved, or 6 halves oil-marinated artichokes from a jar, halved again 2 tablespoons small, picked sprigs parsley 2 tablespoons small, picked sprigs dill 6 leaves fresh mint ½ to ⅔ cup Red Wine–Black Pepper Vinaigrette (page 273) 2 ounces kefalotiri cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler into large shards

Wash the frisée and arugula, spin dry, and wrap in clean towels. Chill. Just before serving: In a large bowl, combine the grilled onions with all the ingredients, except the vinaigrette and half the kefalotiri, and toss gently with clean hands. Drizzle with about ½ cup of the vinaigrette, toss again gently but thoroughly, and taste. Season with salt and pepper, scatter with the remaining cheese, and serve immediately.

I think of this as a sort of Greek coleslaw, only much brighter in flavors and far more exciting.

1 bulb fennel, trimmed 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice ¼ head savoy cabbage, cored ⅔ cup cracked, brined green olives, such as tsakistes, pitted ⅔ cup oil-cured Thássos olives, pitted 4 ounces graviera cheese, coarsely grated

¼ cup small, picked sprigs dill 8 leaves fresh mint ¼ cup small, picked sprigs parsley ¼ cup small, picked sprigs thyme ½ to ⅔ cup Red Wine–Black Pepper Vinaigrette (page 273) Sea salt and cracked black pepper

With a mandoline or a very sharp knife, shave the whole bulb of fennel crosswise as thinly as possible (no need to remove the core). Transfer to a large bowl and drizzle with the lemon juice. Shave the cabbage lengthwise, and add. Pull the olives into rough pieces, and add them along with about two thirds of the cheese, dill, mint, parsley, and thyme. Drizzle with about ½ cup of the vinaigrette and toss aggressively with clean hands until all the ingredients are nicely coated. Season generously with sea salt and pepper, taste, and add a little more vinaigrette if you like (never so much that it pools in the bottom of the bowl). Transfer to a platter and top with the remaining cheese and fresh herbs.

ACIDITY IN GREEK FOOD One of the flavors that distinguishes Greek food and makes it bright and fresh is acidity, and often—but not always—it comes from lemon juice. You can serve things that are rich and slightly fatty—like one of the many wonderful confits—but in order to keep everyone’s taste buds alive and interested, you’ve got to cut that fattiness with acidity.

Max Almost always, when meeting someone for the first time, I’m asked how I actually started out making chocolate. I usually tell them that when I was ten years old, I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl, and I swore that, one day, I would find a river of chocolate and sail in it. I also tell them about Anna, who was my first love, and who could not fall asleep without eating a piece of milk chocolate before going to bed, because otherwise she would have bad dreams. But the truth is that I wanted to be a writer. One that gets up at noon, sits in cafés, writes until the following morning and devotes a book to an impossible, eternal love. At the age of twenty, I thought that in order to find inspiration for my first novel I needed to be alone. I needed to walk in narrow streets, sit in a dark room with a candle, feel the longing, and write. I went to live and work in the seventh arrondissement in Paris with a French chef who looked like Geppetto. I was an apprentice for six years. He taught me how to make toffee, marzipan, and nougat. He told me stories that are only passed on from teacher to pupil. I was lonely and did not write. Later I started searching for romance as a source of inspiration. I wanted to live in a small house, ride my bicycle to work, make colorful sweets in big jars, and write. I opened a chocolate workshop. People fell in love with the movie that was my life. I was living the magic of romance, yet was making so many sweets that I had no time left to write. Then I wanted to experience decadence to get a sense of real, raging inspiration—like the one described in the biographies of great writers. I wanted to wear Versace suits with tight pants, drink lots of wine, fall in love with the prettiest women, and write. I designed and created a lifestyle of chocolate with its own saying. I dived into decadence, but most of the time, I was drunk and did not write. More than ten years have passed since I started looking for inspiration for my writing. I have yet to start writing. Recently, I bought a special feather pen and a thick leathercovered notebook. I am starting to write a novel soon. I’ve been making chocolate for more than ten years. Almost without noticing it, I find myself telling its story. Maybe through the telling of its story, I can also tell something about myself, something about the longings, the romance—the decadence. I invite you to watch, smell, taste, and feel my love story.

Chocolate: A Love Story, 6

Yonatan “Yonatan is not a man of words. You have to meet him in order to get to know him.” These are the words the friend who introduced us many years ago used, to tell me what I now know for myself—that Yonatan Factor is a man of drawings. Today, however, as Yonatan and I are publishing an album of our work together, I want to switch places with him. For the first and perhaps only time, I wish to draw him in my own way, which is of course with words. We planned to meet for the first time in South Tel Aviv, where Yonatan was born and still lives and is always just about to desert, to split from, because that’s the way it is with stormy, sensuous love; like the kind he feels for the city that fills him with inspiration. This is what he looked like at that first meeting: heavy brown hiking boots, a huge tattoo running up his leg that had been covered with a tattoo of a blue rectangle, because he was sick of what he’d loved the day before. Khaki shorts that reached his knees, a red kid’s T-shirt. The body of the most muscular Irish boxer you can imagine, topped with a round head whose contours were hidden behind a pair of thick, black glasses that looked like they should be worn by a physics professor who never stopped reading. The spiky blond hair of a newborn chick. And even though you couldn’t see it, stuffed inside was the romantic soul of a starving Russian poet. He took me to eat at his favorite restaurant, a dive where the locals eat, and when I walked in I was convinced he’d actually taken me to see a play. “This is what food should be like,” he told me then. “Like a stage actor. Bathed in the bright light, in colors and sounds, with a strong text so it can express itself and bring out the magical personality hidden inside.” I didn’t say a word. But late that night, when we left a dark bar together, I started talking and I’ve been talking ever since, and ever since then he’s been drawing the most perfect scenery for our play that we’ve written together—our big chocolate stage play.

The Belgian street waffle with butterscotch chips, roasted pineapple and a white chocolate orange maple trap

Dough 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour ½ cup milk, plus more if needed ½ cup heavy cream Scant ½ cup sugar 2 large eggs 1 envelope dry yeast 1 stick plus 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 1 teaspoon salt ½ cup butterscotch candies, chopped, plus more for topping White Chocolate and Orange Maple Sauce ¾ cup heavy cream 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped Zest of 1 orange 3 tablespoons orange juice 6 tablespoons maple syrup Roasted Pineapple 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ½ cup brown sugar 5 (½-inch-thick) pineapple slices

1. Make the dough. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, milk, cream, sugar, eggs and yeast. Mix on low to form a smooth dough, about 10 minutes. If dough is too dry or tough, add a little more milk 1 tablespoon at a time. Add the butter and salt and continue kneading until the dough becomes elastic and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 10 to 15 minutes. It should not be sticky to the touch. 2. Let the dough rest in a lightly greased bowl at room temperature for about 1 hour. Turn the dough once and put in the fridge to rest for another hour. Turn it again and refrigerate for a minimum of 5 hours. 3. Add the butterscotch to the dough and mix well. Scoop the dough in heaping teaspoonfuls and roll into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment and let rise in a warm place for about 90 minutes. 4. Heat a waffle machine to 320ºF. Add a ball of dough to each section on the iron. Bake until golden brown, about 3 minutes each. Repeat with the remaining dough. 5. Prepare the sauce. Bring the cream to a simmer. Pour over the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and let sit until the chocolate begins to melt, about 1 minute. Add the orange zest and juice and stir until smooth. Let cool, then stir in the maple syrup. 6. Make the roasted pineapple. Melt the butter over high heat in a nonstick pan. Add the sugar and pineapple slices. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. 7. Place a waffle on each of 10 plates, add half a slice of roasted pineapple, and top with white chocolate and orange maple sauce. Sprinkle butterscotch pieces over the tops and serve hot. Yield: 10 waffles

Intimate Hungarian crêpes with sweet white chocolate cheese, raisins and dried fig hidden secrets Shortly after it grows dark, I enter our secret place and sit in the corner, the spot that moves only us. Everyone comes to taste the famed crêpes of the Hungarian café that was once known only to us and is now full to capacity. I smile a tiny, pensive smile to myself: not one of these countless people will ever experience its true taste, the intimate taste created by you and me.

Filling ¼ cup dried figs, chopped ½ cup raisins, chopped ½ cup rum 1 cup cream cheese or farmer cheese 4 ounces milk chocolate chips 3 tablespoons honey 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Crêpes 3 large eggs 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt ¾ cup milk 2 tablespoons brandy 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more to grease the pan Confectioners’ sugar and ground cinnamon, for dusting

1. Make the filling. Soak the figs and raisins in the rum for at least 1 hour. Drain the fruit and discard the rum. 2. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cheese until soft and smooth. Mix in the figs and raisins and chocolate chips. Add the honey and cinnamon and keep beating until the mixture is combined and the cheese is soft and smooth, about 3 minutes. Set aside.

3. Make the crêpes. Whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until they become a light lemony yellow. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, whisking until smooth. Whisk in the milk and brandy. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes before making the crêpes. 4. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Warm 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick crêpe or omelet pan until it foams and subsides. Pour just enough batter into the pan to create a thin, even layer with a ladle or by rotating the pan. Pour any excess batter back into the bowl. When the bottom of the crêpe is slightly brown, flip and cook for a few more seconds. 5. Transfer the cooked crêpe to an ovenproof plate and cover with wax paper. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding butter to the pan when necessary and separating each cooked crêpe with a layer of wax paper. To keep crêpes warm while cooking the remainder, cover the top crêpe with aluminum foil and keep the stack in the warm oven. Crêpes are best eaten immediately but can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to one day. 6. Spread the cheese mixture on the hot crêpes and roll as you would an omelet. Place on serving plates and dust the crêpes and plates with confectioners’ sugar and cinnamon and serve immediately. Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Optimistic Musings: Morning Chocolate Variations, 23

Intimate scones with tender milk chocolate chips and romantic winter’s strawberry confiture Through the window of our café, I watch as you heap butter and jam and fresh cream onto a golden pastry just the way we liked it. You serve it to his mouth and prove to me once again that romanticism is the mass market product of intimacy.

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour ¼ cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces ¼ cup finely chopped candied ginger 3 ounces milk chocolate chips ¼ cup heavy cream 1 large egg, lightly beaten, plus 1 for egg wash 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or bakers’ Silpat. 2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using your fingers or two knives, cut in the cold butter pieces until you achieve a sandy texture. Stir in the candied ginger and chocolate. Add the cream, egg, and vanilla, mixing until just combined. 3. Place the dough on a cutting board and shape into a circle about ½ inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 triangles. Place the triangles on the prepared baking sheet. 4. Beat the remaining egg with 1 teaspoon water and brush the top of each scone with the egg wash. Bake the scones until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. 5. Remove the scones from the oven and set the oven to broil. Sift confectioners’ sugar over the scones. Set the scones briefly under the broiler to brown, being careful not to let the sugar burn. Serve warm with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Yield: 8 servings

Cast of Characters Mick Jagger Singer/Performer (English) The son of a physical education instructor, Mick Jagger was born on July 26, 1943, in Dartford, Kent, England. The 1969 US tour was his-and the Stones’-first in three years. A Rolling Stone since 1962, Jagger and the Stones played Rio de Janeiro in 2006 before a million and a half people.

Keith Richards Guitarist (English) Keith Richards, an only child, was born in Dartford, Kent, December 18, 1943. Keith-with Mick Jagger-joined Ian Stewart and Brian Jones to form the Rolling Stones. Ronnie Schneider: “I could give you a million stories about Keith being a man’s man. I remember a guy comes up and bothers Charlie’s wife and Keith smashes him over the head with a beer bottle, while holding a baby, as he pushes the guy down the stairs.”

Bill Wyman Bass Guitar. (English) Born in 1936, Bill Wyman joined the original Rolling Stones in 1962. He played with them until 1993. He is fa-mous for his expressionless immobility on stage. (“I’ve never met anyone who moved less than Bill, but he added to the act tremendously,” says Chip Monck. Bill demurs, “I used to sweat a little bit under me arms.”) Since his departure in 1993, Bill has published several books and still performs and records. He has three young daughters and a fully grown son, Stephen.

Charlie Watts Drummer (English) The thing about Charlie Watts, a remarkable legacy, is how everyone feels motivated to offer such kind observa-tions about him: “The only one, a staunch friend over the years.” “There’s such a serene, calm goodness about Charlie.” “Charlie was very down-to-earth.” He was not playing “I am a great Rolling Stone, rock star.” I once heard somebody say, “You’re on the road the whole time. God, it must be hard.” Charlie replied, “Jesus, musi’cians have been doing this since the dawn of time. We’ve got it easy.” Charlie Watts was born in Islington on June 2, 1941.

CAST OF CHARACTERS

Mick Taylor Guitarist (English) Born January 17, 1949, in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England. In 1969 Mick Taylor was recruited to replace Brian Jones, and his addition allowed the Stones to tour again. Bill Wyman: “Mick Taylor became the most musical person in the band, more technically clever than all the rest of us. We were just musicians, basically, and he was way above us in his technique. But he fitted very well.” Mick Taylor left the Stones in 1974. He lives in England, still performs and records..

Ian Stewart Pianist. (Scots) Brian Jones placed the ad, and Ian Stewart answered it. That was the beginning of the Rolling Stones. Born in Pittenweem in the East Neuk, Scotland, in 1938, Stu was asked to leave the band by their then manager, Andrew Loog Oldham. He did not look the part, though that was not the reason given. But Stu stayed with them for the rest of his life. He died in England in 1985. On the 1969 tour Stu did what he always did: helped get the band on the stage, performed with them, and was, as Stanley Booth puts it, “the only grown-up.” When I saw Stu on stage at Altamont, it was the first time I had ever seen him worried. I knew then we were in trouble.

Ronnie Schneider Tour Manager (American) Born in New Jersey in 1943, Ronnie Schneider grew up in Miami. (“With that ‘let’s party’ mentality. You have good weather. You go to the beach. You get a suntan. You pick up girls. I loved it.”) He was on the road with the Stones in 1966. In 1969 Mick Jagger called and asked him to do the tour without involving Ronnie’s uncle, Allen Klein.

Sam Cutler Personal Tour Manager (English) Born in London’s East End, Sam’s parents were killed in the Second World War. He was placed in an orphanage but later adopted. “At fifteen I left home, school, and England, having already suffered three mothers and four fa’thers.” As much as any individual, Sam took the fall for Altamont, about which he’s still angry. Ronnie Schneider: “Sam had to disappear–he went into hiding for quite a long time. He was the most hardworking guy that I’ve ever met. He was definitely driven-I think he was absolutely fantastic at what he did.” The interviews with Sam began in 2000 and were completed in 2006. He’s a central figure, with interesting facets to his story. Sam is married with two children and lives in Australia.

Georgia “Jo” Bergman Assistant/Office Manager. (American) Born in Oakland in 1945, Jo Bergman ran the Rolling Stones office in London and went on the road with them on multiple tours from 1968 through 1972. During those years little that had anything to do with the Rolling Stones was outside her purview. She left to go to Warner Bros. Records, becoming its only female vice president by the time she retired. She lives in Altadena, California.

Astrid Lundstrom (Swedish) Born in a small village in northern Sweden in 1947, Astrid traveled by boat to England in 1966. Within her first month there she was to meet George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, and Bill Wyman. She and Bill were together for seventeen years, and she accompanied him on every tour. “Other than them [the Rolling Stones] I was the only one who was there the whole time.” Today Astrid lives in Tucson, Arizona.

Stanley Booth Writer. (American) In 1969 Stanley Booth received from the Rolling Stones “their exclusive cooperation in putting together a book about the Rolling Stones.” He devoted fifteen years of his life to writing it. The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones has been called by Peter Guralnick “the one authentic masterpiece of rock ‘n’ roll writing.” About it Keith Richards says, “Stanley’s book is the only one I can read and say, yeah, that’s how it was.” Born in Georgia in 1942, Stanley first met the Rolling Stones in 1968. Still writing, Stanley lives in Brunswick, Georgia, with his wife, Diann.

Ethan Russell Photographer. (American) Born in New York in 1945, Ethan grew up in San Francisco. He went to London in 1968 as part of a European summer vacation. He stayed, working initially as a volunteer with autistic children while trying to be a writer. He had taken a few photos in college. Seen by a young journalist writing for a new magazine called Rolling Stone, he was asked if he wanted to photograph Mick Jagger. He photographed the Rolling Stones during the years 1968-1972. He also photographed the Beatles, the Who, and many others. Today he lives in Marin County with his wife, stepson, and five-year-old son.

Michael Lydon Writer. (American) Michael Lydon was the second writer on the tour. Michael’’s physical appearance and lifestyle (over-the-shoulder hair, jeans, living in Mendocino) all said “hippie.” His demeanor was so unassuming that it totally obscured the fact, which I found out during our interview, that he was a reporter for the New York Times, for Newsweek, for Esquire–and was a graduate of Yale. Michael was delightful then and is now. He is a working musician and music teacher in New York City.

Chip Monck Stage and Lighting Design (American) Chip Monck had a certain degree of personal notoriety before he joined the 1969 tour; among other things, he was the “voice of Woodstock” due to his multiple appearances in the movie Woodstock speaking to the crowd, warning them, among other things, of “bad acid.” His interview reveals that lighting and staging were, more or less, everything to him before and after the Stones ‘69 tour. He now lives in Australia.

Tony Funches “Security” (American) A Vietnam vet and the son of two religious parents, Tony was the president of the West Los Angeles College when someone asked him if he wanted to help look out for the Rolling Stones while they were in LA. “My job was to sit in my Volkswagen down by the gate.” It didn’t last. Once they got to know Tony, the Stones asked him to come on the tour. At Altamont he broke two bones in his hand knocking out Hells Angels. “That I lived is still a surprise to me.” I interviewed Tony in Hendersonville, Nevada, in 2006.

Jon Jaymes “Transportation” (American) Jon Jaymes, aka John Ellsworth, materialized at the beginning of the tour claiming to be from the Chrysler Corporation. To Chrysler he said he was working with the Stones. Newspaper accounts described him as a promoter of allegedly bogus businesses from eucalyptus plantations to European hamburger joints. His exploits were extraor’dinary, including appearing at the Carter White House as Santa Claus while attempting to defraud a children’s charity.

PART I: LOOKING BACK

The House at Pooh Crossing The first time I remember seeing Brian Jones, I was an art student at the University of California. Brian was staring at me from a Rolling Stones album cover. Like the rest of the Stones, Jones seemed somber to the point of sullen, even as his blond pageboy haircut made him stand out. At the beginning of the band’s rise to stardom it was Brian who grabbed all the attention. I discovered the Stones in the 1960s when those years had not yet become “the sixties,” even as the Stones were one of the main forces driving youth toward that moment. It was a defining moment

It was as if Brian had chosen to become the crowned prince of stoned.

for me when-in a sweltering darkroom on a hot summer’s night-the voice of Bob Dylan came cascading out of the little radio, backed by drums and electric guitar, singing, “How does it feeeeeeel?” Though I couldn’t have articulated it at the time, it was more than the music. The rise of the singersongwriter was driving the massive change that was going on all around me. These songs weren’t the words of a lyricist put to the melody of a musician. These were the words of the artists, spoken to us. Suddenly-no one knows exactly when-it seemed that everyone was getting high, that these musicians were talking not only to us but to each other, and that we were all somehow in this together. The impression became an undeniable fact. Like the rest of my generation, I was sucked in. It was, indisputably, the best thing going. The writer Michael Lydon, who would join us on the 1969 tour, said decades later, “What I remember most dis-tinctly about that time were the number of ideas and insights moving rapidly and brilliantly in the music until they became part of an international conversation about life, art, music, and politics. Jerry Garcia was as smart as any-body, as smart as a guy from Yale, who was a clerk for a

and deference. Pictures of him at the festival show him wearing a long cape, its edges lined with fur, and festooned with a collection of pendants and Moroccan jewelry draped around his neck, his long, blond Prince Valiant hair framing his pale face. There, too, Jones had that Cheshire Cat look on his face, smiling as if he were about to fade away. But up close on that afternoon in his home, apart from his golden hairdo, Brian looked surprisingly old. He had bags below his eyes, and his face was swollen. He said he’d been up all night, some

party. Brian talked rapidly, though in a quiet voice. There was a charm to it; an uncensored stream of stoned conscious-ness like you might have expected from Jack Kerouac’s On the Road character Dean Moriarty. As we moved about his house, I started taking pictures in a vague sort of “Stone at Home” manner. I had him sit by the window in the afternoon light. I clicked away, but I could tell the pictures had no punch to them, so I was at a bit of a loss. Perhaps sensing my disappointment, Brian said, “Wait here. I’ll be right back.” Then he disappeared upstairs. About ten minutes later he clattered back down, dressed in a shirt fashioned from an American flag. We headed out across his lawn toward the swimming pool, Jones striding in the lead. He began to move through a series of poses that he made up as he went along. He strutted and preened. He grimaced and grinned. He snuck up on the statue of Christopher Robin and grabbed it by the neck,

Opposite: Strangling Christopher Robin

strangling the icon of British childhood. I was tak-ing pictures and reloading the camera as fast as I could. Then he ducked inside a shed for a moment and reemerged holding a gun. (This was not, I hasten to add, some Clint Eastwood, Dirty Harry, .357 Magnum shit-kicker. It was a pellet gun, a rifle used by the landed gentry to kill the occasional trespassing squirrel.) Jones pointed it at the Christopher Robin statue and pulled the trigger. Then reversed it and started thrusting it butt-first at me behind the camera. I gamely clicked away. Next he lay down on the ground, put the stock to his shoulder, and aimed the rifle directly at me. I was confused about how this quiet fellow, who had a few minutes ago been speaking in hushed and reverent tones about the history of his house and the wonder of Winnie-the-Pooh, came to be writhing in the dirt in his gar-den attacking everything around him with a gun. Still, I thought, This is great! Here’s a Rolling Stone doing, well, Rolling Stone things! The images I was getting were stoned and rebellious, with a slight edge of violence. This was the stuff.

When we were done with the session Brian, polite and quiet again, saw me off. As I pulled out of the drive I caught a glimpse of him in the rearview mirror. Brian stood, framed by his green lawns and his quaint brick cottage, decked out in his American-flag shirt with his rifle tucked under his arm, waving farewell. 12

LOOKING BACK

ACT I HYDE PARK London, Colorado November 7, 1969

Assorted English “bikers” at Hyde Park.

The crowd at Hyde Park. The “Concerts in the Park” series was organized by Blackhill Enterprises, inspired in part by the free concerts that were happening in America. The Stones’ appearance-actually the sixth in the series-would be the biggest up until that point, and would hold that record briefly until it was swept away by Woodstock in just over a month.

“I think it was Mick’s idea to do it. He’d seen Cream there. I can’t remember the timing, at what point Brian was out and Mick Taylor was in. It didn’t start as a memorial. It became one.”GEORGIA BERGMAN 16

ill Greenberg, author of Monkey Portraits, captures astounding photographs of one of nature’s most awe-inspiring creatures. A top celebrity portrait photographer, Jill Greenberg has a unique ability to coax powerful emotions out of her subjects—human or animal. Her portraits of bears, collected here for the fi rst time, surprise and engage. We encounter cubs as cute as a child’s Teddy, grizzlies that look like they might swallow you whole, and Polar bears seated in Sphinx-like tranquility. Full-grown brown bears, grizzlies, black bears, Polar bears, and bear cubs are photographed on location against a portrait backdrop. The poses and facial expressions are at turns oddly comedic, pensive, terrifying, and sometimes unexpectedly human. Alive with Greenberg’s signature lighting and seen through the unique perspective of her lens, these startling bear portraits bring us face to face with our fears and fantasies.

• Monkey Portraits (978-0-821-25755-5, Bulfinch, 2006) was a surprise hit, generating great press, including a Good Morning America interview and an eager fan base. • Jill Greenberg is one of the most highly sought after commercial photographers working today. She is routinely contracted by major publications, and her work has been featured in several print ad campaigns.

Heidi Montag is #9 on the list of Forbes’ Top 10 Celebrities on Tabloid Covers of 2008.

L

US Weekly’s December 19, 2007 issue with Heidi cover story, “Why I Called Off My Wedding,” is the only US Weekly issue to ever outsell People!

L

One year later, the December 8th, 2008 US Weekly issue, which broke the news on Heidi and Spencer’s elopement, sold 30% above its average market share.

L

In January 2008 alone, the couple appeared (as themselves) on the hit CBS show How I Met Your Mother and were mentioned on hit ABC show Ugly Betty.

L

HOW TO BE FAMOUS will appeal to the same audience who loved Tori Spelling’s Stori Telling (Simon & Schuster, 2008, 250,000 hardcover copies sold) and Paris Hilton’s Confessions of An Heiress (Simon & Schuster, 2004, 150,000 combined copies sold).

ou couldn’t help it, could you? It’s okay. Don’t feel guilty. We get it. You probably walked by this in the bookstore and said, “Wait, those #$@%^$# have a BOOK now?” But here you are reading it. Don’t hate yourself. We thought about starting the first page with something like, “Hi, we’re Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt from blah blah blah . . .” or something lame like that. But the point is, you already KNOW that. If you don’t know who we are, we can guarantee that your kid does. And that’s the point of this book. We’re SUPER famous—and for what? We’re on

a reality show . . . on cable for that matter . . . and we’re not even allowed to acknowledge on the show that our real jobs are, well, being on a reality show! But why should you listen to us? We’re just lucky, right? Just a couple of blond bimbos who like to cause trouble. Well, take a look at this list: Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Heath Ledger, Jamie Lynn Spears, Nicole Richie, Jessica Simpson, Suri Cruise, Shiloh Jolie Pitt, Owen Wilson, and Heidi Montag. That’s a Forbes top ten list of celebrities who have appeared on the most magazine covers in 2008. Everyone else on that list is a long-term A-list star. We’re

talking Oscar winners, Grammy winners, children of the most famous people on the planet . . . and Heidi. Do you think that happened by accident? Admit it, you’re intrigued. And it’s only natural. Because the truth is that whether you love us, hate us, or love to hate us, there IS a recipe for infiltrating Hollywood, and we’ve got it. Sure, it’s not rocket science, but it IS a science. Our expert technique comes from years of careful study of fame and its essential elements, painstaking analysis of its masters, an exhaustive process of trial and error, and, finally, the formulation of the perfect strategy for capturing the attention of the masses. Does that sound serious and articulate to you? Good. Because as airbrushed and airheaded as you may think we are, we’re every bit as savvy. But because we’re such thoughtful, giving people, we’re willing to share. You’re welcome. What you are about to read is our no-fail, no-nonsense (well, some would say it’s ALL-nonsense) insider’s guide to take you from nobody to notorious. Take it from us, you cannot buy this kind of information. Well, at least you couldn’t until now. So go on. What are you waiting for? Hold your head high, march up to that register and shell out the measly $19.99 (aka roughly five Us Weeklys.) Next, book your ticket to LA and make sure to tuck this in your carry-on. If you follow our advice, it might just be the last time you ever fly commercial.

e realize this may all seem a bit daunting. We’re sure you’re sitting there thinking, How can I possibly get famous? Who am I? Don’t sweat it. Like any problem, there’s always a solution. You just need to break it down into steps. You don’t just roll out of bed one day and become Madonna or Angelina Jolie. But you’ll get there. The first step on your journey is to do something exactly opposite to what you’ll be doing once you succeed. Think about other people before yourself. Yes, we know this sounds crazy. Please forgive us for such an outrageous statement. But allow us to explain.

Of course, one distinct advantage you have going for you more than anything else is the fact that you can always cry. A crying woman trumps all things. C’mon, ladies, you’ve tried it at home, you know. I’m not saying it’s actually possible, but let’s pretend for one second that you MIGHT be wrong in an argument one day. Just go to the waterworks and all is forgiven, isn’t it? It’s biological. Men and women alike respond to a crying woman with extreme sympathy. Even the most hardened villainess can break people down with puppydog eyes and a few tears.

Bei[ j^[ I^WZ[i Yes, we know how cool you are. The sun shines on you twenty-four hours a day. We get it. But you’re three times more likely to get your picture into a magazine if your eyes aren’t covered up. Remember, you’re not a Secret Service agent hiding in the bushes. You want you—and as much of you as possible—to be seen at all times. A quick word on lighting, if we may. When a star appears in a movie or on a television show, or even in an interview on a talk show, a great deal of effort goes into them being lit properly to look their absolute best. The same goes for photo shoots, of course. There are people whose JOB it is in all of those settings to check on the lighting. But when you’re having your impromptu photo shoot, courtesy of the paps, you have only yourself to take care of these things. That being said, learn about the sun. There are certain times of day when you just don’t want your picture taken. The first is high noon, when the sun is its brightest. You’re guaranteed to be squinting (as we’ve already established that you should NOT be wearing sunglasses), and since the light is that bright, you just look pale. The other time, for the most part, is at night. Now we know what you’re saying: you have to go out at night in order to be seen, right? Sure, showing up at clubs helps. But when your picture is taken at night, they’re going to use flashes—and

paps aren’t dealing in the high-end, flattering strobes that you see at photo shoots. It’s going to be very harsh lighting, and there’s almost no way you can look good that way. That’s why we almost never go out at night.
