âClaudia, Habla Espanol?Supermodel Claudia Schiffer was seen recently on Chilean television waving the flag for some boutiques in Santiago.
He Said, He SaidThe proverbial stuff is about to hit the fan for the fashion world. A steamy tell-all is in the works, and the expose threatens to provide some real model/fashion bombshells. According to the "New York Post," a book is being penned now by Tom St. Martin, the jilted ex-lover of makeup artist Lamar Fullilove. The book, entitled, "A Drag Queen Scorned" will throw light on the dark side of fashion -- the drugs, sex and other illicit behaviors. The raison d'etre of the scandalous tome is thought to be the bad blood between St. Martin and Fullilove, who lived together for seven year. St. Martin contends through his lawyer, Dimitri Nikolakakos, that he was cast aside when Fullilove's career took off. ". . . he [Fullilove] abandoned my client and refused to compensate him him for any of the services he had rendered or the sacrifices he made over the years," Nikolakakos told the "Post."Fullilove's attorney, Alexandra Militano, told the "Post," "Mr. Fullilove and Mr. St. Martin lived togerther for less than seven years, and Mr. St. Martin was not Mr. Fullilove's personal assistant. They are no longer together because Mr. St. Martin was physically and emotionally abusive." St. Martin maintains that he was Fullilove's personal assistant and is entitled to compensation. Fullilove's career has been meteoric. In the last two years he's worked on at least 25 covers with such models as Linda Evengelista (pictured), Trish Goff, Niki Taylor, Claudia Schiffer and Stephanie Seymour. His work on ad campaigns and fashion shows has had him making up the famous faces of Amber Valletta, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss among others. St. Martin is shopping around for a publisher and claims that Random House has expressed interest. Four chapters of the book are finished, according to the "Post." How many there will be when the book is finished is anybody's guess. One thing's for sure. If the book is published, those interested will have a no-holds-barred look at the worlds of fashion and modeling. |
