Through these bright eyes, the world is a cupcake in need of better icing. She’s here to spread it on…

BedHead: Gala Darling

Location: Melbourne, Australia

Occupation: Writer, Editor, Advisor in all things fabulous

What does Gala know about making you a better person? Let’s put it this way, what she doesn’t know, she will hunt to the ends of the earth until she knows it. She’s been called a “fashion genius” and a “lethal cocktail of sex, style and wit”. She’s a voracious entrepreneur. Her blog is read by millions, about as many times she’s changed her hair color. But what really impresses me is Gala’s energy, enthusiasm for knowledge and her desire to share it. I have to tell you, dear readers - I am a bit intimidated by this BedHead. In those eyes, I’m just another cupcake and if Gala Darling’s idea of icing is what tops my cake-y inner me, I just may be eaten alive…Read Gala Darling’s Exclusive BedHead Interview to find out…

Amongst that lush sepia tone and the unmade bed with knickers strewn about, a new day awaits an artist with a fever for fashion..

BedHead: Kim Cathers, 28

Location: Vancouver, British Columba, Canada

Occupation: Fashion Designer

First, let me say that I don’t know a damn thing about fashion. If you could see the way I dress, you would know that right away. But Kim and I have a lot in common. We both dream of rolling out of bed, flipping the creator switch and threading something together to share with the world. It’s not a targted, marketing smart-bomb but rather a feeling, born from the heart. Where it goes? How its used? Who cares? As long as the idea-baby finds a home and is shared by many.

I feel that Kim’s creations have a lot of character. If I saw a woman dressed in her ideas, I might like to bring her ’round to meet the family. After that perhaps, a walk into town for some pumpkin-pie ice cream. Sounds quaint? No. Nothing hits harder than creations that connect. Kim’s kdon collection sells in shops in Vancouver and on her website. I may learn a few things from this BedHeadfrom the Northwest… Read Kim’s Exclusive BedHead Interview to find out..

Somewhere, out among the medieval ruins in the English countryside, a figure wanders the hills, his camera in his hands and music on his mind. Here’s a BedHead with dark, rich tastes and a bright twinkle in his eye…

BedHead: Paul Broome

Location: Staffordshire, United Kingdom

Occupation: Songwriter, Photographer

Yes, it’s dark and a bit gloomy. But out among the rhythms of Paul’s sound-scape are quietly raging beats that warm you like wool. It’s all about the orchestration I guess. You see, Paul doesn’t just record music, he weaves it. Its a world where guitars and synths seem indistinguishable from each other, surrounding a voice that sort of reminds me of Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode, only stronger.

Of course, there’s another side of Paul. There’s the images he captures. Not all dark and serious at all. His art is whimsical, often majestic. He’s a dark and creative force and I’m about to shine the BedHead light on him in this Exclusive BedHead Interview….

Yeah…We like-a some eggs. We like ‘em cooked up real nice. Whatta ya got there, tootsie?

BedHead:Leora Zellman

Location: Chicago, Ill, USA

Occupation: Blogger, Photographer, Model

Well whatever it is, you better scarf it down fast because this chick has a lot going on. She’s a blogger, a photographer and a model. She blogs so fast, she does it by blackberry. When I attempted to get the details for this particular dish in this particular BedHead photo, I got a slap-dash recipe that went something like this:

“…the omelet had cheese, onion, broccoli, egg, balsamic
vinegar, garlic…i think that’s it…maybe sage? Salt
and pepper?…”

I don’t know, I wasn’t there. Right. Don’t worry… Thankfully, I have a little time on my hands so I’ll re-create this omelette from the photographic evidence and perhaps tell you a bit more about Leora Zellman…After the jump…

…And that’s okay. There’s plenty to love about Mexican wrestling masks. So mysterious, no? Yes…Downright strange, yet still somehow wonderful. There’s an alter ego in all of us but who among the masked masses are willing to reveal the other side? Adam does it all the time and the funny thing is, his alter ego actually wears a mask…

Head: Adam Bronkhorst, his wife Alison

Hometown: Brighton, England, UK

Occupation: Real Estate

Adam is something of a rock star on Flickr these days and you can see why. What began as a passing interest in Mexican lucho libre wrestling has become a craze for Flickr users who now wait with bated breath to see Adam’s next shot. But there’s so much more to see behind the mask… Read Adam’s exclusive Bedhead interview for more…

…No really, you will be when you get the whole story on this BedHead. What do Hollywood blockbusters, Axl Rose and a famous soft drink have in common? The answer is…Francisco!

Bedhead:Francisco Delatorre

Hometown: Where else? San Francisco, CA USA

Occupation: Feature Film Visual Effects Artist

You don’t know him but you might have seen his work. Francisco helped flood New York City with tidal waves in the Hollywood hit, The Day After Tomorrow. He has also worked on the acclaimed chinese sword-fighting saga, Hero by Zhang Yimou featuring Jet Li. His latest work can be seen in the Disney fantasy-flick, Bridge to Terabithia.

What really caught my attention, aside from this and his most excellent behead was this quote from his Flickr profile:

“…you know how sometimes you want candy but you buy way too much and put the rest away in your stapler drawer or something? and then you forget about it? and then a couple days later you’re all “i need to staple something… HOLY CRAP CANDY!” That’s kind of how i feel a lot.”

Don’t we all?

What also struck me was another bedhead picture that made me kind of want to reach out and help Francisco. It seems he may have a problem with that age-old soft-drink favorite, Dr. Pepper. Now, I know I’m a pepper, you’re a pepper too and all that but there comes a point when the party’s over and if you’re still chasing the pepper dragon, you could have a pepper-problem.

…everything would run on solar energy and fly really, really fast.

BedHead: Adem Rudin, 20

Location: Minneapolis, MN USA

Occupation:Aerospace Engineering Student, University of Minnesota

Meet Adem, the lion-hearted junior at University of Minnesota, and member of U of M’s Solar Vehicle Project. You might have heard of these guys. Every two years, the team builds a car powered completely by solar energy and races it in the Formula Sun Grand Prix and the North American Solar Challenge. Adem is part of the aerodynamics team which is so appropriate given the state of his BedHead in this photo. Truthfully though, Adem tells me that this BedHead was caused by wearing a bandanna for four days but can’t you imagine his head poking out of the top of a solar car at 75 mph? I like that story much better but for the real story, check out Adem’s exclusive BedHead interview after the jump…

Santa Claus has a sleigh and a team of flying reindeer to pull him around. The tooth-fairy has wings to flutter in and out of children’s rooms and yes - she does have to carry all that cash, but this poor little sucker has to hop across continents in a single night to hide those Easter eggs. Can you imagine how hard that is? I mean think about it - how many hops do you think it takes for a little bunny to get across the George Washington Bridge? Even without traffic? And all those eggs? How does it even carry them without breaking a few?

The Easter Bunny is the hardest working holiday superhero since…oh….the Great Pumpkin. Even though GP only has to his peek his head out of a pumpkin patch once a year, his battle is difficult because his only believer is that wishy-washy, Charlie Brown, a PR challenge of epic proportions, still fighting it from what I understand. But this bunny takes the yoke. We’ve all heard stories of seeing mommy kissing Santa Claus but no one - no one…. has ever seen the Easter Bunny.

…Until now. This photo was snapped early this morning, showing that stealthy little bunny waking up after a  post-globe-hopping nap. After spending an entire year boiling jumbo grade-A’s and painting cute things on them  he is clearly exhausted and a little grumpy from what I’ve heard. How do I know? How do you know the Easter Bunny does not exist? Does anyone have any proof of this? I rest my case.

I received this photo from the owner of the Easter Bunny’s alter ego or Clark Kent equivalent - a mild mannered English angora named Huxley. Huxley’s landlord and superhero accomplice  - like Bruce Wayne’s butler, Alfred - is Liz from Pennsylvania. She is a 24 year-old artisan, a yarn-spinning master. She is also quite an entrepreneur. I’m pretty hopped-out myself this morning and I’m not going to even try to blabber poetic about her work. It speaks for itself. The only thing I can say is you have to see Liz’s dedication and you will realize that old arts are the most beautiful because they are so improved with every year. Think Spring.

Thanks, Bunny….Happy Easter!

…and pass the salt and pepper…
