Acne Studios and WW
WW reflects on the shooting with Acne Studios earlier this year, and using Flo and Topper as the primary models. Below are some images from the shoot.
Flo really outdid her stellar self on the Acne shoot. So steady and willing.
Topper is still learning, but is happy and eager. It is a bit of a trick getting them to stop pillow fighting, but when in place on the modeling stand they settle down and show immense concentration.
Topper is surprisingly photogenic. Very boyish and good looking.
Flo is a rock star…no, better than that...a …what's the word I'm looking for? A…a…a...when I think of something I'll let you know.

WW in Four and Sons
The latest issue of Four and Sons features an interview with WW. Here's WW on falling in love with Flo:
"I think I fell in love with Flo when she started doing things that I
didn’t expect from her. She’s a difficult dog to live with...but when it comes to working, she
cares so much about it and is so proud to be doing it, that it’s kind of
heartbreaking. And then, when you look at the photographs, the image
kind of burns into your mind and they become your muse."
Read the rest of the interview here.

Bob and Ray
Everyone alive in the 50's, especially in Massachusetts where I am from, knew of Bob and Ray and their hilarious deadpan routines from their radio program on WHDH. If you were a Red Sox fan, you would certainly know the Piel's Beer ads from game broadcasts.
Much of my video from the 70's is deeply indebted to them. A good example of their influence on me is the piece Name Board:
Later when I moved to New York I became an avid fan of Mary Backstage, Noble Wife from the CBS radio show, and of their appearances on Letterman, Saturday Night Live, and The Tonight Show.
As luck would have it I later met my heroes in person in the green rooms of SNL and Letterman. They were secure enough not to take offense to my unabashed plagiarizing. In 2006 I had a chance to walk through my retrospective exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum of Art with Bob Elliott and as we progressed cascades of Bob and Ray resounded in my head.
Since as long as I can remember not a day goes by when, as Matt Neffer, I update Todd as to my current whereabouts.

Bob Elliot, of the comedy duo Bob and Ray, turned 90 years old today.
