Madmen across the water steal Atlanta’s art

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

A Nan Goldin photograph owned by Buckhead singer Sir Elton John was taken from a Tyneside, England, gallery by British cops who believe the image violates British child pornography laws. The photo depicts two naked girls, one of whom is seated, with her legs apart. Goldin is known for her snapshot-style depictions of intimate, personal, and often grim scenes. The confiscated photo is from her Thanksgiving series.

Sir Elton John’s photography collection is HQ’d in Buckhead, which is where Sir Elton lives because he’s from Atlanta, just like Ryan Seacrest.

Who cares? Fashion Cares!

FASHION CARES CHARITY FASHION SHOW: This season’s hot look – thin and attractive.

Do you remember what you were doing Monday night when Atlanta’s fall fashion season had its semi-official kickoff? If not, then you probably weren’t at the Jeffrey Fashion Cares benefit, where one giddy attendee made the top auction bid of $23,000 to be on the guest list of Sir Elton’s next Hollywood post-Oscars bash. Held on an unfinished floor of the new 55 Allen Plaza office building and hosted by diminutive fashion entrepreneur Jeffrey Kalinsky, the event raised more than $700,000 for AIDS and breast cancer research. The requisite runway show aside, we suspect most people came to see what each other were wearing.
