THE 2012 MET GALA - via my Instagram.
May 7th, 2012

Last minute ironing of the hubbies shirt!

Taking a picture of James as he takes one of me on our way to the Met Gala!

Talking to E!’s Giuliana Rancic on the infamous Met red carpet.

In the Schiaparelli & Prada exhibit.

These two made my favorite couple at the Met - Zac Posen and Amber Heard.

Beween my two English roses, Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn.

Ominous figures in the Schiaparelli and Prada exhibit.

Shocking Schiaparelli pink was the color of the nigh.

With my old buddies Caroline Trentini, Olivier Theyskens, Isabeli Fontana and Rohan Marley.

Uncompromising Photos Expose Juvenile Detention in America

On any given night in the U.S., there are approximately 60,500 youth confined in juvenile correctional facilities or other residential programs. Photographer Richard Ross has spent the past five years criss-crossing the country photographing the architecture, cells, classrooms and inhabitants of these detention sites.The resulting photo-survey, Juvenile-In-Justice, documents 350 facilities in over 30 states. It’s more than a peek into unseen worlds — it is a call to action and care.

“I grew up in a world where you solve problems, you don’t destroy a population,” says Ross. “To me it is an affront when I see the way some of these kids are dealt with.”

The U.S. locks up children at more than six times the rate of all other developed nations. The over 60,000 average daily juvenile lockups, a figure estimated by the Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF), are also disproportionately young people of color. With an average cost of $80,000 per year to lock up a child, the U.S. spends more than $5 billion annually on youth detention. On top of the cost, in its recent report No Place for Kids, the AECF presents evidence to show that youth incarceration does not reduce recidivism rates, does not benefit public safety and exposes those imprisoned to further abuse and violence. Ross thinks his images of juvenile lock-ups can, and should, be “ammunition” for the ongoing policy and funding debates between reformers, staff, management and law-makers.

we, us, this country… are so broken. more love, please. this doesn’t even make any sense.
