#private Markham salon

[fictionturnedherbrain]

I don’t know whether it’s better to ignore this man’s entire existence and just hope he shrivels up and disappears like a slug covered in salt, or elaborate on why I hope Jim Markham is in no way involved with the Jay Sebring documentary (although, given the size of his ego, I imagine he probably is).

But here’s why I can’t stand Jay’s erstwhile ‘protégé’ (and I don’t even like typing his name, he grosses me out so much!) This is the man who surfaced last year when Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was released to put forward his ‘theory’ about the murders on Cielo Drive in 1969 – and pin everything on his late boss and mentor! ‘I don’t want to get into the drugs, but I never bought into the race war theory. I believe Manson had gone up to the house and Manson wanted to sell cocaine and marijuana,’ he says. ‘He showed Jay and Wojciech the product. They were going to buy some of it, but the two of them beat him up at the gate. The next night, Manson sent the Family up [to kill them]. He adds, ‘I’ve lived with that for 50 years. I still believe that.’ With friends like that, who needs enemies?

This person was even in contact with Jay’s nephew at the time, and so ‘didn’t want to elaborate’. Who does that? Who blames a victim for one of the most vicious murders of the last century, especially when that victim literally gave his life to start you off in business? And who waits until the 50th anniversary of the murders to speak out, just for the free publicity from connected with a film? Oh wait, the same type of man who has this to say about the aftermath of Jay’s death: ‘It was very exciting. Once in California, I had purchased Jay’s black Porsche from his father [and totalled it], I was running the salon and the company, while styling Jay’s former celebrity clients. I took over his membership at The Candy Store, a private club, and even dated some of his girlfriends [Laughs]. It was the most exciting time of my life, but also one of the scariest times, that is until they caught Manson.’

What a creep!

From The Pink Polka Dot… When Olympic silver medalist, Alexandra “Sasha” Cohen wed Thomas May, all they truly wanted was “… Something small and charming.” said Sasha Cohen. The New York-based couple chose Cape Cod because their busy schedules made the East Coast more sensible than a location near Cohen’s Southern California roots. They picked a small country club, The Wianno Club, near where May’s parents have a summer house. May’s sister also was married in Cape Cod, so she was able to give some guidance when it came to planning. The guest list totaled 140. There were five bridesmaids, including May’s two sisters, plus the maid of honor, Cohen’s sister, Natasha. Among friends from the skating world were gold medal winner, Evan Lysacek, Tiffany Stiegler Stahl (who was a bridesmaid, just as Cohen had been for her in her 2014 wedding), Jennifer Markham and Christie Baca.

Sasha’s color palette vision was steely silver, muted blues, whites and peaches. She wanted to incorporate vintage, romantic elements as well.

“Karen, our florist, did an amazing job with the arbor, candles and lanterns and rose petals along the aisle leading up to the altar. It was transformed into a vision.” The white and peach florals were absolutely beautiful and helped create a romantic feel in the ballroom. Textured cream linens, lots of candlelight and menu cards with floral accents completed the tables. Lush floral pieces lined the unique horseshoe shaped head table to create an intimate seating arrangement for the wedding party. The escort cards were tied to antique keys and displayed in beautiful boxes of moss for a vintage look. Cohen met May at a birthday party in 2014 through mutual friends in NYC. They got engaged in July 2015 in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

“We explored the beaches of the Cape during the day and then Tom proposed at sunset on a tiny private beach right before we went out to dinner,” Cohen said. They were married by a justice of the peace and said traditional vows. Natasha’s sister read a poem. Cohen’s Galia Lahav-designed dress was beaded with antique-style accents and a dramatic cutout on the back with a brass zipper. One part of the day Cohen will never forget is getting ready to walk down the aisle with her parents. “That was a moment I took for myself – I wanted to really remember how it felt before all the commotion started,” Cohen said. “Our first dance was very special, (as were) the speeches and closing the night with a line of sparklers.” The newlyweds did a traditional first dance to “Stand By Me,” a favorite of May’s.”The lyrics are inspiring and very fitting for a first dance,” Cohen said. “We both felt it was the right message. “We took dance classes before, which was a lot of fun,” she added. “It was slightly choreographed. Tom was nervous. He’s not used to performing in front of people, but it went really well. I have to say the lessons paid off.”

The newlyweds honeymooned in Sydney, Australia and Fiji.”

Overlooked No More: Mihri Rassim, Feminist Artist in the Ottoman Empire

Overlooked is a series of obituaries about remarkable people whose deaths, beginning in 1851, went unreported in The Times.

Mihri Rassim was one of the most intriguing Turkish artists of her day — but she was known more for her eccentric lifestyle than for her art.

She shunned her royal upbringing by running away from home to pursue an arts education, and to secure the freedoms that the Ottoman Empire didn’t provide to women in the early 1900s.

She was a pioneer, opening the first art college for women in Turkey, and encouraged artists for decades. And she was a cunning marketer who sometimes bent the truth about her artwork as a way to support herself when the going got rough.

“She was an avant-garde artist whose most avant-garde work was her own life,” said the art historian Ozlem Gulin Dagoglu, who is writing a monograph on her.

Rassim was representative of an era toward the end of the Ottoman Empire when the daughters of the elite were encouraged to learn about art, literature and music but then limited to becoming art teachers, if they were fortunate to have careers at all. Historians are now trying to piece together the stories of their lives; an exhibition of Rassim’s work was held this year at the SALT Galata, an art institution in Istanbul.

Rassim was born on Dec. 13, 1885, in Istanbul. She used variations of her name throughout her life. Her father, Ahmed Rasim Pasha, was a military doctor; her mother, Fatma Nesedil Hanim, was an Abkhazian princess. Mihri began painting when she was young, taking lessons from Fausto Zonaro, the Italian court painter for the ruling sultan, Abdul Hamid II.

At the time, there were no college-level art schools for women in the Ottoman Empire, so Rassim left her family in about 1906 to study at the Académie de France in Rome and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Recognized for her skill in portraiture, she went on to paint many powerful men.

While in Europe, she worked with John Singer Sargent, Léon Bonnat, Albert Besnard, Arthur Kampf, Rudolf Bacher and other painters, and she met and married Musfik Selami Bey, a Sorbonne student who later became a diplomat of the new Turkish republic.

The couple moved back to Istanbul in 1912. It was a good time to return. Most forms of Western art had been banned there for centuries, but the winds of change that had helped nation-states sprout across Europe were transforming Turkey as well.

Rassim saw an opportunity to propose that an art school be established for women. “Ideas of freedom, equality, justice, comradeship have arrived in our country,” she was quoted as saying in addressing the minister of education in 1914, “but why is it only men that are benefiting from them?”

The School of Fine Arts for Women opened the next year, with Rassim at the helm, alongside the painter Omer Adil Bey.

“Under her tutelage, Muslim women were able to paint landscapes en plein air, and draw from nude female models as well as antique statues,” Dagoglu, the art historian, said.

While Rassim helped start the careers of artists like Fahrelnissa Zeid, who became known for her large-scale abstract paintings, she still yearned to be recognized for her own artwork. It was a sentiment she expressed in 1919, when she organized a show of paintings in her home and was interviewed by the journalist Mehmed Zekeriya Sertel for Buyuk Mecmua magazine.

She criticized the limitations that her conservative society had imposed on women, preventing them from becoming better painters. It was frowned upon, for instance, for women to paint in public.

“This is why women mostly painted friends and acquaintances in interiors,” Dagoglu said.

Rassim brushed off her portraiture as “worthless” and insinuated in the interview that she wished she had better work to show. “I am ashamed to call this my oeuvre,” she was quoted as saying.

“I make most of these paintings you see here for commerce,” she added.

Later in 1919, when the Allied powers occupied Istanbul in the wake of World War I, Rassim went back to Rome, divorced her husband and mingled with the fascist cultural elite under the fast-rising Benito Mussolini. She became friendly with the poet Gabriele D’Annunzio and the sculptor Renato Brozzi, and through their connections she painted a portrait of Mussolini himself.

She also tried to open an art academy for Turkish students in Rome and painted a portrait of the new Turkish president, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, to convince him of her abilities and perhaps to charm him. Unable to gain his favor, though, she left Europe in 1927 for the United States to pursue her artistic ambitions there. She found work as a high school art teacher in Connecticut.

“I did not come to the United States as a famished immigrant to make money,” she wrote in 1935 in a letter to Hamilton Holt, the dean of Rollins College, near Orlando, Fla., “but had an ideal in mind: to be considered among the talented people.”

Rollins had offered her a teaching job, but she wasn’t able to accept it because of her immigration status.

“As an immigrant woman artist, the post-Depression era was especially hard for Rassim,” Dagoglu said, “but she was a resilient and resourceful artist with a knack for marketing.”

As she sought to build a career, she moved to New York, where she highlighted her Turkish nobility, calling herself Princess Alciba, her Abkhazian family name. She held salons at her Manhattan home and participated in group and solo exhibitions in galleries.

In April 1932, for the poet Edwin Markham’s 80th birthday celebration at Carnegie Hall, she presented him with his portrait as a gift in front of 2,000 people.

But despite her moderate success, she struggled to support herself. In September 1932, to pay her debtors, the New York City marshal auctioned off her portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt for $40 ($688 in today’s dollars). She had valued the painting at $2,000 (about $37,500 today).

Dagoglu said that after Thomas Edison died in 1931, Rassim tried to sell a portrait of him to his family, saying in a letter that he had posed for her. But Dagoglu found that she had actually based the painting on a photograph.

That portrait, showing Edison deep in thought in his lab, was rediscovered in 2011 and is now at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College.

In 1931, she married Salvatore Virzi, a singer at the Metropolitan Opera. She became an American citizen in 1943.

Rassim died in 1954. She was about 69. She was believed to have been buried in a potter’s field in or near New York, but Dagoglu was unable to find any records of any of the names that Rassim might have used.

Many of the paintings she made in the United States are considered missing — she was a poor record keeper and newspaper accounts say that her studio was once robbed — but, like the Edison painting, they are slowly being found.

One of her later portraits, of Rezzan Yalman, the wife of the prominent Turkish journalist Ahmed Emin Yalman, whom Rassim befriended in the early 1940s in New York, was recently discovered in a private family collection. It was included in the SALT Galata exhibition in Istanbul.

Berna Gencalp, a filmmaker who had helped put together that exhibit, is working on a documentary about Rassim, titled “Kim Mihri” (“Who Is Mihri?”), which is expected to be released next year.

“We don’t know if she achieved all her goals,” Gencalp said in an interview, “but she definitely came ‘to be considered among the talented.’”

Laser Skin Rejuvenation Helps in Making Your Skin Younger and Healthier

Laser skin rejuvenation helps in removing scars, wrinkles or fine lines arising from aging, acne or too much exposure to sun. This advanced procedure removes skin layer by layer with precision. During the healing stage, the new skin cells formed render a lighter and younger looking surface.

How to Prepare For Laser Skin Rejuvenation

•   You have to start by consulting a good dermatologist or plastic surgeon. They will tell you whether you are a good candidate or not.

•   Next is to tell your doctor about your problems like if you get fever blisters or cold sores around your mouth.

•   If you want to go further with this process, then doctor will ask you to not to take any supplements or medicines to avoid clotting. They will suggest you to stop these medications 10 days before the treatment.

•   Smoking is not allowed. If you are a smoker then you have to stop it before and after two weeks of the treatment because smoking can prolong healing.

•   Then your doctor will prescribe you some antibiotic medication for prevention of bacterial infections and some antiviral medication if you have fever blisters and cold sores.

What to Expect from Laser Skin Rejuvenation

It is done by an experienced dermatologist or therapist. You will not have to stay the whole night because it is an outpatient procedure. If the treatment is just for the part of the face then it will take 30 to 45 minutes. If the treatment is for the entire face, then it will take 2 hours. After the laser procedure,the doctor will bandage the areas. After 24 hours,you have to clean the areas four to five times a day and then apply ointment. Healing typically takes 10 to 21 days. Maintaining your skin after the treatment is very important. Keep your new skin well moisturized and avoid exposure to sun.

Take good care of your skin after laser skin rejuvenation and enjoy your new look with younger and healthier skin. For the most effective laser skin rejuvenation in Markham, Ontario, you may visit Friends Salon N Spa that combines four technologies, namely laser, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), Radio Frequency (RF) and Infrared (IR) to deliver immediate, long-lasting results in just a few visits.Their balanced mix of treatments effectively reduces wrinkles and pigmentation, tightens skin and makes you look younger.
