After the show we all headed out to ChoSun Galbee for some Korean BBQ. Here's a few flicks.
Rebbecca, Jacquelyn, Heather, Paul, Nicole and Summer. (more…)
Here's a few snaps from British Artist, Simon Bill, and his exhibit entitled: The Loved One. This is his first solo exhibition in the U.S.
My favorite piece. It looks three-dimensional but it's totally flat. (more…)
Lastnight was the grand opening for two shows with Julius Friedman (Make it Rain) and Simon Bill (The Loved One). Both shows will run from June 8th through July 31st at the Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, CA so be sure to scope it out.
Julius' audio/ visual presentation had guests engaged and in focus. This is his first showing and also the birth of what is sure to become a great career. Congratulations.
Here's a few quotes from the press release that best explains "Make it Rain"….
"Friedman brings an energetic view of the auction world by composing an original score of music that shifts from classical symphonic notes into the juxtaposition of throbbing drum and bass.The music swirls around and dances with the subject of the film, illustrious auctioneer Simone de Pury."
Make it Rain: Drawing from this vivid idea of money floating, Friedman creates a playful comedic perspective revealing both the performance aspect of auctions and the sincere quality of a figure like de Pury, one of the signature rainmakers in the world of art." Patrick Painter Gallery.
Julius Friedman. Fellas….watch your ladies. LOL.
Check out these cars that are on display at Universal Studios.
This Acura NSX shows you exactly what happens when you mix hallucinogenic drugs with hip hop and rice.
Wow. Remember Magnum P.I. and his Ferrari 308? I remember when this car was cool. It was around the same time that my Dolphin shorts were still in style. LOL.
Here's a few shots that you've never seen before.
We already know that family comes first but if these pictures don't help get you motivated then I don't know what will.
The Carrera GT – one helluva beast.
Having tons of money won't diminish the amount of problems in your life, but it sure will get your there in style to solve them.
We left to Havasu yesterday and if you think it's been hot in L.A. then think again. It was 115 degrees over here.
On the way up we say this truck hauling some Donk tires. LOL.
It was pretty weird to see HH stickers on what looked like 20 consecutive reflector poles so we had to pull over and shoot a pic of at least one. Thanks to whoever put in work….because Lord knows it wasn't us because at 115 degrees it was hard enough to take this picture.
Without giving up too much of what's coming out in a future issue of Heavy Hitters let's just say that someone brought out some big boy toys. (more…)
Jacob “The Jeweler” Arabov who has made custom jewelry for pretty much every major hip hop artist, Rudy Giuliani, and Bono has been sentenced to 30 months in Detroit today for lying to investigators about a multistate drug ring.
According to The Associated Press, Arabov was given seven months off his potential three-year-plus sentence for his extensive charity work. He was also ordered to pay a $50,000 fine and forfeit $2 million to the government. He was originally arrested in June 2006 in his Upper East Side store for conspiring to launder about $270 million in drug profits for a Detroit-based drug ring called the Black Mafia Family. But the charges were later dropped as part of a plea deal. Mr. Arabov told reporters: “I feel ashamed that I broke the laws of this country, a country that has been so good for me. I will carry this shame for the rest of my life.”
He was among 40 people indicted in the scheme orchestrated by the Black Mafia Family, which ran drugs out of Detroit beginning in the 1990s.
If you own a Maserati Gran Turismo – or you're thinking of picking one up -then take a look at these five below that are sporting Forgiato Wheels. They're all sitting on 22's and the wheel models are all appropriately labeled below each pic. Enjoy.

Police seized a tractor trailer with 400 pounds of cocaine in the Bronx—worth a supposed $16 million—in hidden compartments under the cargo floor. After 10 hours of searching the truck an unable to find the drugs, a special X-ray device was brought in courtesy of Homeland Security—they apparently have all the neat toys—that revealed the elaborate smuggling system. Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan thinks that more of these modified trucks could be on the road.
