Trevor Project Honors Actor

by Accidental Bear

The Trevor Project, founded in 1998, is devoted to increasing acceptance and preventing suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth. Its fund-raiser may also be one of the few in New York City where several pairs of men’s 2xist underwear were up for silent auction.

The first thing being celebrated was the 21-year-old actor Daniel Radcliffe, currently starring in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” on Broadway and soon to appear in movie theaters in the final installment of the Harry Potter films, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2.” The second was the right to gay marriage in New York.

Let’s start with Mr. Radcliffe, who a few years ago, lent his name to the organization and made a public-service announcement on its behalf. MORE

All Eyes On: One Day in the Life Of… photographer Tim Hailand

by Accidental Bear

I know gobs of talented people oozing with with creativity and ideas ( most of them tortured and some kind of brilliant mania). The problem I see is that this monster needs to be channeled in order for success ( Yes, the idea of success can be debated for a life time) The most genius artist I know have never had a show but have a basement full of master pieces. If done by a business minded human, they would be “rich” and famous from their torture represented on a canvass or by sculpture.

Photographer Tim Hailand has been able to conquer this artistic monster in him and reaps its rewards. You can see it in his amazing photographs.

One Day in the Life Of…

In his photo book series One Day in the Life Of… photographer Tim Hailand gives fans an intimate look at the lives of celebrities like Scissor Sisters‘ Jake Shears, singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright and Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe.

For One Day in the Life of Rufus Wainwright, Hailand followed the musician from New York City to Boston for his performance at the Boston Opera House. The book features an intro by NYC nightlife legend Cherry Vanilla and text from Rufus himself. A portion of sales will benefit the Kate McGarrigle Fund for cancer research in honor of Rufus and Martha’s late mother.

Elton John provides the introduction for One Day in The Life of Jake Shears, which follows the pop icon and Scissor Sisters frontman in London before the group’s performance at the O2 Academy Brixton. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation. READ MORE
