Sure, you've already seen the interview and photo shoot with Ugly Betty star America Ferrera from BlackBook's August 2008 issue. But for dessert, check out a few extemporaneous shots taken during the session at New York's Socialista. You may experience a little blurring, plus a little too much special-effects smoke. Real Americans won't object, though.
On the subject of art, you’ve heard the skeptic standing in front of, say, an Alexander Liberman “Circle Painting,” ponder, “Well, I know what I like. But is it art?” Or is it just a circle that a Montessori geometry teacher may have rendered in oil on canvas with a protractor for a brush? When is a urinal a urinal, and not a Duchamp “readymade,” and so on?
As promised: Ugly Betty's America Ferrera gets glammed up for the August 2008 issue of BlackBook, on newsstands July 22. See the full interview and photos with America here!
July 4th wasn’t enough -- we just had to celebrate America one more time. Last night, Ugly Betty's America Ferrera was everywhere, as large placards featuring our August 2008 cover girl overlooked party-mongers at former Bungalow 8 doorman Armin Amiri’s West Village tropical hotzone Socialista. See our gallery of the full scenario. The affair was less a New York evening and more a Havana night (dirty dancing included), with surrounding island plants oxygenating the heated (and hot) crowd. But to Socialista’s credit, the spinning fans up top did wonders keeping body heat at bay. Our travel guides were being doled out like cigars in Cuba. The drink of choice was margaritas, the aptly named Juan Coronado was the man with the music, and we have no one but Partida tequila to blame for some people taking Outkast’s “Hey Ya!” a tad too seriously.
Our cover girl for the August issue of BlackBook is America Ferrera, and she's anything but ugly. The issue goes on sale July 22, and stay tuned here for more online exclusives.
