African tribal art (especially Fang masks) is our new fad. Anna finds it jaw-dropping (literally).

Welcome Anna!

Met iconic Anna for the first time yesterday evening. Immediately became a new member of GlitzCafé. Joined in and sang along ... Amazing grace.

Summer Of Love


Photo: GW/GlitzCafé

That's for sure — despite the rainy weather. Or is it because of it? This picture was taken last Saturday at a French-Arab wedding. Obviously there’s an emerging trend in France: the young ambitious French woman of Muslim descent following a new role model that we decided to call the Dati-Glitz Trend, after the name of Rachida Dati, the former French attorney general.

Tango's back in fashion! The epitome of sensuous dating, long before someone called it "dirty dancing".

W Dream #5 to Istanbul



Über Glitz! It reminds me of my first trip to Istanbul in my prime. I took that very special train, the Orient Express... But, bien entendu, the rest of the story was just a teenager's w.. dream.

Best part of the job: meeting bright and bubbly personalities, have a good conversation, and then enroll them in our cast.

CASH ZONE (the making of ... #2)



More clues on the secret story of SARA (Stolen Art Restitution Agency). Presented as a work in progress. The pilot #1 has already been watched by just over 100 viewers. Small seed will become BIG tree. We already know you belong to the elite tribe of astute discoverers and not mainstream followers. Let's have fun together. This project is open to outside participation and input. Don't ever forget the Web is meant to be a global conversation.

Nazi Loot (Official Trailer)



Many such treasures are still unaccounted for. Where did they end up? One of the main themes of our CASH ZONE series.

Our DD Day

What happens when storytelling gets decentralized? We're trying to figure out. Will that lead us to a kind of transmedia formula? Who knows? In the meantime, we enjoyed reading Scott Brown’s story on Why Hollywood Needs a New Model for Storytelling.

Eyeballs Stirred By Highball


Photo: GW/Le Crew

Back in France, unplanned event at Cécile Caron's own private gallery. We were offered a divinely stirred mojito (white rum, sugar cane juice, lime, carbonated water, and mint.) that immediateley triggered and then sustained an amazingly potent aesthetic feedback loop. From a background cockpit, our hostess deejayed some gorgeous musical blends of her own. Magic moment. Thanks, Cécile.

How about shooting the unforgettable money-laundering scene in this beautiful laundrette? We must tell you we’ve got some pretty sharp location scouts on our payroll. Thanks, Charley!

Things they do in London: Glitzy-girlie attitude made harmless. That’s how we decided to do it on our sets. Shooting scenes, OK. Crime scene, no go.

Cool Locations


Photo: GW/Le Crew

When we scout around for new locations, we sometimes go as far as renting light planes or helicopters to take some aerial pics. The defunct Battersea power station, in London, is a tremendous spot. As a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock, we're keenly considering the option of a shoot there next fall.
