 You challenge pickers are killing me!!

California has the best of EVERYTHING.
Except weather.
We have NO weather.
No clouds.
No wind.
No rain.
No fog.

NADA.

Just boring blue sky every single day. Which is great, but I wasn't able to come up with any ideas to make big blue skies interesting.

So yeah, I had to manufacture my own. And this is what I came up with: manufactured wind.

The model is one of my oldest friends in L.A., Grace Kono. Married to one of my other oldest friends in L.A., Vernon Wells - star of Road Warrior and too many other films to mention. He's off-camera (obviously) tossing the hat at Grace.

Yeah, that's how I roll. I put movie stars to work tossing hats into the night.
