A short but fun trip to 20th Century Fox in Los Angeles for The Rise 50 summit, unfortunately all photos of the actual summit were embargoed… A few more details on Freshness.
The best way to see a city is from up top and at night… I actually ran into Lil Wayne exiting the elevator at the Setai.
Here are some photos from my second day in Shanghai. My buddy Rocky from Nike Shanghai picked us up and we had lunch at a spot called Origin, followed by a quick tour of the area. After that we went straight over to the Expo to meet up with Ming who hooked up the VIP passes into the expo. Where some might only get to see 5 or 6 pavilions in a full 8 hour day, we got to see 11 pavilions in about 4 hours, many thanks to Ming and Rocky for the hook up.

Inside Brazil
Inside Chile
Workers in the Italian Pavilion were decked out in Prada!
A lot of photographers have one of these little seat/stands, at the expo, nearly everyone had one! With so much walking, people sat every chance they got.
The UK Pavilion building is completely mind blowing! Even in photos its amazing, seeing it in person is damn next level.
Ming and the most messed up shirt ever on a mom.
Can you spot the bird??

Those are seeds.
Inside the Espana Pavilion and the worlds biggest baby!
The massiveness of the Expo!!
The China Pavilion requires a full 8 hour queue and there is zero VIP admittance but they did allow V-VIP. The building is nice tho!
Same for Japan.

A few after dinner and expo drinks above Lost Heaven. Shanghai roof-top bars are so fab!
I’m slowly catching up with photos from the recent six week trip, below are photos from my first day in Shanghai. After eating, we went straight to the Shanghai Expo for the night session. Shanghai reminds me a little more of NYC than Hong Kong does, I won’t explain here but if you are a New Yorker and spend some time there, you’ll see what I mean.
This is the best fried dumpling I’ve ever had, seriously ever.

The few days I spent in China was very very low key and I didn’t do much at all except eat and relax. I did appreciate visiting an old temple which was a nice change.
This a crazy electronic automatic mahjong table, you dump your cards into the pit and a fresh set comes up ready to go within mins! Crazy!!
Here are a few select photos from my visit to Florence, I was there to help shoot behind the scenes coverage of the Luisa Via Roma Firenze4Ever 10th Anniversary celebration for Wendy/nitro:licious (check out some more coverage on her site) and a little for Freshness as well. The hotel was amazing, Il Salviatino is a hill side hotel about 15 mins from the heart of Florence with an amazing view. The room was a garden suite with a green house looking into the garden, in addition there was a personal service ambassador, similar to butler service. Pretty amazing!
At the shoots I had the pleasure of meeting some of the worlds top fashion bloggers including Bryan Boy, Sea of Shoes, The Bag Hag, Chic Muse, and William MG. Along with nitro:licious, we became a pack hanging out most of the trip, as well as spending our last night together for dinner and some after hours fun. Overall, another amazing blogger trip!! Much thanks Luisa Via Roma and Wendy for hooking up the trip.
It’s been a little nuts since getting to Cannes, I basically didn’t sleep on my 6pm flight out of JFK to Paris. Arriving at local Paris time 8am, connecting to Nice with an hour delay and another 45 min transfer to Cannes didn’t help at all. But getting premiere tickets to Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps covered all that. I didn’t realize it but it the red carpet requires you wear a full tuxedo and bow tie. Many thanks to Stella Artois and Jacques d’Azur.
