Being tall and a loud mouth, I’ve always had interesting friends. Just for fun, Desiree @desiresmedia and I used to fist bump, schmooze, and gatecrash our way into red carpet, parties, and a million other places in LA and Hollywood.

This was in the 2010s, before I started Shore Thang and before pandemia.

That first pic surprised me when I was rummaging through all these because I actually became friends with Clem Von Franckenstein a few years after taking it. Clem is the last person to carry the Franckenstein name and was legit titled royalty. He passed in 2019, was in a bunch of films and tv shows.  You can check out this Clem von Franckenstein and Zachary Elliot podcast here.
