APRIL 2009

There is a fabulous new article on Mimi in an Australian magazine called YEN. Just go to the PRESS section on the site.

Also got Mimi has a nice write up in a spanish blog  at   http://glamourama.blogs.terra.es/

Mimi is on her way to LA for a photo shoot with the fabulous photographer, Tim Walker. Tim has taken many photos of Mimi during the years, and  we especially like the ones he did for Italian Vogue, that shot of Mimi, seen above in the sailor suit, and the one where she is in bed with a wonderful big hat on, reading the newspaper.
NEWS FLASH !!! Just in,Mimi was considered too expensive to bring out to LA by the producer , so Tim told her he would come to New York and photograph her.
In the meantime, check out Tim's work site:  http://www.thomastreuhaft.com/Tim_Walker/tw.html
Mimi has been featured on three blogs  this month.  Click on NEWS!!!
There is a great photo of Mimi that we have used for the DVD cover and numerous publicity shots. and i tried very hard to find the photographer, as i wanted to give him a big credit on the film. Mimi had his name right, but not the spelling, Bryant Woodd. i found his name via EBAY in a credit for a photo in a early Warhol magazine. I then tried to google him, but i was not successful. Well, i should have been more resourceful as he contacted us! please click on News to your right.
What's  Mimi talking about... She has found the absolute tops in masseuse, Liza on the 9th floor of Elizabeth Ardens. "She wears a size 12 shoe, and is very tall."
According to Mimi "the 9th floor is the only good floor at Arden's now. The rest is a mess like the Plaza, what they have done to the food is worse than Mc Donalds."
