Don’t Be Shocked, It Was 1977!

Don’t be shocked when you see this Dead Boys foto taken in front of Aarons Records in North Hollywood in 1977! Lead Dead Boys singer could never keep his pants on. On or off stage, Stiv was always losing his pants, but that is what makes this a cool photo thirty years later.

Thank goodness there are no imitators today. They could never pull it off. Stiv was our pal and one cool dude. We where in Paris with Stiv just a fee weeks before he died in 1990 and we are still shocked today.

Hope you enjoy this foto. It was a different age back then. If if felt good, you just did it. No hang ups. No condoms, no glam squads and no publicists!

Enjoy this beautiful weekend, be safe and make some beautiful photographs.

This Foto Reeks Of 1978!

We just dusted this one off from the archives. Yep, that is Liv Tyler’s mom, Bebe Buell with Stiv Bators from The Dead Boys. We have not seen Bebe in years and Stiv sadly passed away decades ago. We have truly fond memories hanging out with Stiv and Rodney in Paris years ago.

We initially met Bebe though our best friend and mentor Richard Creamer. Richard was a brilliant photographer and truly a one of a kind human being.

This photograph has become a big hit at our photo exhibitions. Does anyone suck on tongues in public in Beverly Hills anymore?
