JUNE
25, 2004 --
By the dictionary
definition of "paparazzo" LPR probably qualifies, in
part, as a paparazzo publication-- freelance, publishing candid
photos of celebrities, among others. (LPR didn't know that the
name is taken from the surname of a fotog in Fellini's film "La
Dolce Vita".) Certainly LPR did not refuse the kind invitation
of multi-media publicist Renata Lorenc to visit New York's Gallery,
on East 27th Street --- as a paparazzo (paparazzi is the plural
form, LPR believes).
As it happened,
this interesting nightspot was holding a fashion model contest
that evening, won by Vanessa Wurm. LPR here presents a paparazzo
selection of photos taken at the Gallery, June 19-20, of the contestants,
of the crowd, of faces --- if not celebrities today, next month?
(Most of the photos were taken with flash. The club is rather darker
than shown in these photos. Indeed, it was not until LPR saw the
photos of the crowd inside the club that a belly dancer was visible
to LPR.

the Gallery that PBS is doing a documentary on him.
