What is your favorite classic car? 1946 Merc

How has running two magazines changed your life the most? I have come to realize that it was meant to happen for a greater purpose which was to both preserve and recreates the brands. Then my life changed again as I came to understand I am crusading really and to save print media for the future of our culture as a whole.

When did you take over both magazines? Murph and I purchased the magazines after our cover feature for car kulture deluxe in 2019 .

Tell us about your new photography studio The pink penthouse was inspired by Jayne Mansfield. It’s a magical pink palace that allows photographers and models to create magic. I’m opening an Airbnb above it that will allow you to stay the night in Pink Bliss and will be available by February!

What was your favorite aspect of both the cover shoot for CKD and my 2022 calendar? I would have to say My favorite aspect of being able to shoot for the cover of ckd and Mitzi's calendar.. has to be getting the chance to work with Mitzi and support her and her art in the car culture world. I can’t thank her enough for everything she does.

If you could pose with any car, which would it be? I would love to one day be standing next to my own lol... just throwing out little hints to the husband publicly now
