Roy motherfucking Cox, pallies

[thehefner]

Behold, my friends: the 2008 Roy Cox photo session for both THE HEFNER MONOLOGUES and my brand-new in-progress show, THE HEFNER'S PROGRESS (THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL).

Fuzzy, you look fantastic!
I love the rosebud picture, and of course the ridiculous pic as well. =)

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

If only we had Roy to photograph us as Joker and Harley, eh?

[whimmydiddle.livejournal.com]

Nice.

I like #'s 5 & 6 best.

And if you insist on continuing to use the rose petals in the promotional materials, then I really hope you've squeezed the rose petal story into the act!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Thankya!

And the rose pics are just new shots for my last show. The first two are for my new one! No roses there. We conidered incorporating an onion into the new one, but I didn't want to known as the guy who unravels things on stage. ;)

Gosh Hef -- you look great.

I'm starting to get my hopes up that Roy might be able to get a decent pictures of me. FRIDAY!!!!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Thankya! Can't wait to see what you come away with. Post 'em when you get 'em!

[interdisciple.livejournal.com]

roy's such a badass... great shots, buddy!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Thankee!

[dhairya.livejournal.com]

Good gods that's hawt.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Quite a compliment coming from you! Thankya!

[icewolf010.livejournal.com]

I'll be the odd voice out here. I think the pictures involving the roses are a little too reminiscent of last year's shots. (And the last two remind me forcibly of Clockwork Orange.) I personally like the shots with you and the pictures best.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

That's... the point! The second set are for my old show, but tweaked more toward what the show actually has become! Bowler derby included. I'm bringing the look back, just you wait.

I had my last shots taken before I'd really written the script and solidified the themes (I didn't even HAVE the plucked rose petals in the show for the first Fringe run!), so I needed a few more to represent how the show has shaped up since them.

Notice in the last shoot, I had some pictures of me in the suit, others with the rose petals. I needed both this time!

The first two are for my new show, and thankya, those were the main reasons why I had this shoot in the first place, so I'm glad you like 'em!

[little-dinosaur.livejournal.com]

You know what I like the first few, and I love the last one! Kinda "Blue Velvet", but with less Pabst Blue Ribbon.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Hehehe, oh lord, between comparisons of that, CLOCKWORK ORANGE (see above), and last year's SHINING-meets-Hannibal-Lecter-esque creep-tastic shot, people are either gonna increasingly get the wrong idea about me... or they're seeing some part of me that even I don't!

... for now...

[insaneboingo.livejournal.com]

Those are absolutely gorgeous.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Thankya!

[victoria-wayne.livejournal.com]

You have very pretty eyes. XD

Also, I'm jealous of your teeth.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Thankya! :)

And thankya also, although unfortunately my jaws are not aligning correctly, so there's concern that it'll lead to migraines and other fun things. But at least they look straight!

[leiacat.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous. Just gorgeous.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Thankya! ;)

[frumple.livejournal.com]

Personally I like the second the last one. It just has a "Hefnerian meloncholy" about it. :)

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's my favorite. I'm seriously considering using that as a replacement for the rose-petals-in-mouth image as my new poster, at least for some shows.

[angrylemur.livejournal.com]

Dreamy!

And other adjectives and phrases not suitable for mixed company.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Thankya! I suppose I shall have to wait for when we're in private company for more complete thoughts.

Also, I would like a bit more T&S please. Hopefully at least one of those five Peter Gabriel tracks made an impression as well.

I edited this to use this new icon. Love it.

[civilbloodshed.livejournal.com]

You're my ~favorite Heffie, even if you look disconcertingly like that Fall Out Boy guy in the bowler hat. I should get a poster of the "I Kiss Girls" picture. A+!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Someday this Stump chump and I shall meet and the result will be all-out Ron-Silver-in-TIMECOP self-destruction, just you wait and see.

[nymphgalatea.livejournal.com]

Personally, I like the second one, of you looking up to the photos. It's quite striking, and very nicely composed. As is the fifth, where you *do* look a little like you're auditioning for Clockwork Orange: The Musical.

And the other posters are right; you do have very nice eyes!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

You like the second one? I fear it makes me look more serious and aggressive, which is not quite the tone of the show. Or at least, the show so far in the writing process. But if it works, hell yes, here's hoping!

I look entirely too sweet and melancholic to be CLOCKWORK ORANGE-ian, dash it all! Unless Dim decided to put out a solo album entitled, "Can I Borrow A Feeling?"

And thank you very much! :)

[fragmentedsky.livejournal.com]

AWESOME.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Ooh, all-caps AND italics! Thankee! :)

[kosher-jenny.livejournal.com]

*thumbs up*

But I do have to comment on the serial-killer vibe in the photos with the wall collage. All you need is some newspaper clippings, creepy notes scrawled across everything and maybe a bloody hand print, and you'd be good to go.

I love the bowler hat pics and the close-up!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

hahaha, okay, so that's another "no" for the second one as the new poster. That's my "Why so serious?" Heffie pic then, got it. The first, less scary, right?

Thankya! :)

[kmousie.livejournal.com]

They're all beautiful! I love the photos of you with the pictures, and I adore the closeup. But you already know I dig your eyes. :-)

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Thankya, babe! Yeah, we had to get one with the eyes, once we could get a lamp underneath my cro-magnon Josh Brolin forehead.

[heleneotroy.livejournal.com]

D'aw! You're so cute!And by cute, I mean sexy.

I showed some of these to a friend who lives in New England and hasn't seen your show. He says you're "like a sexual superhero on his way to the phone booth."

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Thank god for the fine print!

And I certainly hope that's a compliment of some sort! I'm just not sure! :)

[princessebee.livejournal.com]

greeeeat pics! those sparkling eyes! love the i kiss girls one! hee!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Hehe, thankya! The shirt is a whole bit in my show. It tends to confuse people, which is part of the point.

[musyc]

Nice. My favorites are the first collage, first rose, and first bowler hat - though that one's more of an artistic appreciation than as promotional material. Your eyes are absolutely stunning, btw, but I'm sure you hear that all the time.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Those are actually my favorites too! But like you, I'm coming at it from an artistic perspective than promo.

And thank you! Really, I don't hear it that often. I think because my eyes are often obscured by my Josh Brolin style cro-magnon forehead. :)

[dryponder.livejournal.com]

you're pretty photogenic for a comic book geek. you sure you like comics?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Wow, I don't know whether to be flattered or offended on behalf of my fandom! ;)

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

Roommate status -- throughly frightened by my insane laughing at the "I KISS GIRLS" picture. Success?

Those photos are absolutely beautiful.

When do we get a calender? :D ?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS! Hahahaha!

Thankya! Well, I think we'll probably get the calendar right after we get the line of thongs figured out. I'm honestly scared by how not kidding I am.

[ortugatay.livejournal.com]

Wow! You outdid yourself this year for sure. I LOVE the second to last one. Like, a lot. But they're all really great! I even went "OooOOOoooh" out loud!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Thankya! Yeah, it's my favorite too, so much so that it might be my new poster for the original show, edging out the rose petals in the mouth! We'll see.

Hee hee, I earned the Molly "OooOOOoooh!" of aproooOOOoooval! :)

[cavenessity.livejournal.com]

Roy strikes again!!! Yay :)

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous of course.

(I can't even think about redoing your site until next week FYI ;) )

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

But of course! Thankya! But you still had better costumes with which to play. One day, oh yes ONE day I will achieve those levels of awesome asskickery...!

Well at some point, I'm definitely gonna need my Boulder info added!

Trident Booksellers and Cafe (Small VENUE)

Fri Aug 15 (8:30-10p)
Mon Aug 18 (8-9:30p)
Wed Aug 20 (8-9:30p)
Sat Aug 23 (7-8:30p)
Sun Aug 24 (6:30-8p)

As well as my DC Fringe Festival info for the new show! But let's mutually worry about that a little bit down the line. For me, this week will be dedicated to getting ready for Orlando! And then next will be DRIVING to Orlando! GAH!

Keep me posted. :)

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

Those are all very pretty. The superhero-identity-reveal one is AWESOME, and could only have been moreso if it had come after the ones in the suit that follow it.

That's a really nice suit, too.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I bought that suit for three bucks at a theatre yard sale! It hangs on me terribly, which is part of the charm for the show.
