Gary did a book with Julius Shulman on Chicago mid-century modernism. Here is their house as seen from the backyard... ...which is inhabited by quite a few Tikis: The big event of the evening was the Palm Springs Modcom party at a house at the Tamarisk Country Club: This year's theme was Blake Edwards' film "The Party" They used several concepts from the movie: White balloons for soap bubbles in the pool This guy has a brief role in the film... The best idea was the drinking, drunken waiter "running gag": Life imitating art: Naomi wore this fantastic Rudi Gernreich dress from Audrey Moorehead's vintage Gernreich collection: We were happy we got to know Heather David and her husband: Heather authored "Mid-Century by the Bay" http://www.calmodbooks.com/, a book I have always admired. Above and below are my two favorite pics I got to snap that evening. Next: More Mod Sunday
