sharkey...I just saw the whole movie.

Pure genius! Meisel, Demarchelier ( who knew he was kinda hot when he was young?), Paul Cavaco, Anna Sui and Scavullo!!

Could this movie be any more insider?

call me ;-)

David? Is that you? I've watched it like 100 times now and still not bored. "Wilder! Sicker!" WTF?! Oh, and you're forgetting John Sahag, the hair stylist who catapults her to stardom... just worked with his first assistant, Becca, shooting Amy Sedaris for the cover of BUST. Do you know her? Awesome...

Paulina Porizkova is the Best

This belongs in a fashion history museum. I can't imagine Karl Lagerfeld or Terry Richardson doing the silly mime Steven does here. It's silly, but disarming to the models. Maybe part of his success is he pantomines to the models what he wants and they mimic back. Of course, great makeup artists, clever set design and lots of airbrushing or photoshop helped his carreer. This is a great insight into a famous and mysterious fashion photographer. 5 Stars michaelsharkey.

Models were legit back then--hot, healthy looking and famous--REAL supermodels. It's too bad they don't make em like they used to. Now all we have are a bunch of stick thin, alien lookalikes.

Paulina Porizkova is the only one w/ any acting ability, apparently

Found an original new copy on Amazon but it's going for $189.99 dollars.

Talk about price gouging! I'll buy a Very Good copy for $30.00 and have it put onto DVD. Sir David

LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a copy of the whole ( Portfolio Video )

I have an old VHS Video and since it was taken from the original in 1983 it is tattered and torn if you know what I mean. I just started working the fashion scene in 1982 and yes it was this crazy and the girls were totally down to earth, not like

( Next Top Model ) worked till 93 when I was in a terrible auto accident with a drunk driver, that brought my life to a screeching halt. (ANYONE KNOW OF A COPY? ) Thanks Sir David
