Let Me in!

by Mario Testino (photographer), Nicole Kidman (Foreword)

Inside the Behind-the-scenes photos of celebrities by the fashion world's favorite photographer As one of the 21st century's most travelled, acclaimed, and influential fashion photographers, Mario Testino has unsurpassed access to the most magnetic stars of popular culture. For some time now he has been collecting a personal archive of off-screen moments, often snatched spontaneously before, during, and after more official sittings for Vanity Fair, Vogue, and Testino's many clients in the world of fashion. The result is a portrait not just of a generation of the most wanted and talked-about, but an invitation to be part of the backstage parties and unstaged moments of Testino's life. Sometimes offbeat, but always on the pulse, Let me in!, with Testino's eye for a modern kind of elegance liberated from conventional polish, is a new chapter from the photographer who has already made his mark with the books Any Objections, Front Row Backstage, Alive, Portraits, Kids, Diana Princess of Wales, and numerous exhibitions and publications worldwide. Features ? Introduction by Michael Roberts, fashion director of Vanity Fair ? Foreword by Nicole Kidman ? 300 pages in color and black and white featuring more than 100 contemporary stars

This is a brand new book and I became obsessed with it after seeing some black and white photos of Jake Gyllenhaal (I looked up the spelling of that) excerpted somewhere online. Then, on Saturday, after perusing (with success) the Chelsea Flea Market I came upon one of those old guys with a fold out table of books on the sidewalk. Only he was shoveling this HOT merchandise straight out of the back of a van and into peoples arms. He shoveled this one into mine -- for the fine sum of 10 bones.

(Actually it was 20 bones, but I said 10 bones to add to the dramatic tone of the deal.)

I have an original hardcover. It makes me so happy.
