Light Summer Cooking!

These days I am focused on me primarily my health and body.  I am trying my best to eat right with every meal.   Some days it goes well and some days, ehhh it could be better. I am on always on the search to find foods that taste good.  I love grilled foods and couldn't help but add this one to my recipe arsenal.

Hope you love it!

Ingredients:
1/3 lb prosciutto, sliced thinly
1 lb asparagus
1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste

Process:
Rinse and cut asparagus into 4 inch pieces
Preheat grill
Place pieces of prosciutto on a plate. Lay 4 asparagus spears and a few slices of onion on top.
Roll up the prosciutto around the asparagus and onion
Place rolls on grill across grates.

Plate and enjoy!

Fear and Love!

❝

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

— John Lennon

Mistress's of Saigon Editorial Photo Shoot

I recently had the privilege of working with the amazingly, talented Leonard Poteat.  He and I often bounce ideas off one another for a creative cultivation of make-up and photography art concepts.  A few weeks ago, he thought up the idea of an Asian themed mistress-like shoot.  One where the women were in some way, emotionally torn and left behind by their lover.  We called the editorial... "Mistress's of Saigon."

Special thanks to Models: Dyan Lee and Danny Ly, little Livi for all her assistant support and of course Leonard Poteat!  I had an awesome time!

About the film:

Directed by: GAUTHIER ROUBICHOU

Cast: GAUTHIER ROUBICHOU (director / as Dejan), DEJAN MIJOVIC (as himself), KATHLEEN GATI (as herself), OLIVIA RUIZ (as Clara, Dejan’s girlfriend), DOLORES GUEVARA (as herself), PAUL NGUYEN (as Mr Paul, theatre Director during the party), NERY (co-director for the French part / as himself ), GILLES LABARBE (Chief Operator / Co-Producer), FRANK MARTY (Original Sound Track Composer).

Smile at the sun (working title) is an 80 minute feature film, shot in France, Argentina and USA starting February, 2012.

The story is based on the life of Dejan Mijovic, a Slovenian photographer / globetrotter who became a quadriplegic 2 years ago, after an accident (simply by falling in the street) a summer evening by the slovenian sea side.

Synopsis:

Dejan wakes up in a hospital but is not hurt. He doesn't understand why or where he is.

He goes out and finds himself in the world: Sometimes in South America with a beggar, sometimes in America with a star.

He wakes up in a hospital again, but he's not hurt. He doesn't understand why or where he is.

He gets out, he is in the South of France, by the mediteranean sea or in Slovenia facing his destiny.

Dejan travels, lives, breathes. Dejan trips and falls. And gets back on his feet.

Until he meets Dejan. Hang on, where are we? Who is he?

He is a passionate photographer who doesn't know if he is in a dream or in a nightmare.. he is a young european who forgot where he is from?

Until he wakes up in a hospital. and he is not hurt. or maybe he is.

A vibrant true story of love, of friendship, and of will. A story of our generation : young and passionate people... Who smile at the sun.

Keep in mind that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
