Some new design work for the fantastic director duo Speck & Gordon's Rosetta Stone campaign. If you look closely you may notice a cameo from yours truly as a 'disgruntled lawyer' - an unexpected result of wearing an outfit that perfectly matched my set. As always, thanks to my brilliant art team for bringing this to life with me!

Like any 90's kid who grew up on Trading Spaces and ANTM, I live for a dramatic makeover. It was so fun overhauling the iconique SNACKLAND on Main St for this Mikes Hard Lemonade spot directed by some of my very favourites, The Perlorian Brothers. Swipe for before and afters of the space.  We ran alternating art crews for 48 hours to get this one done! Much love and thanks to my fabulous art team on this one.  Directed by: The Perlorian Brothers Produced by: Ed Callaghan Production Company: MJZ Service Company: Merchant   Edit: Hutch Co  VFX: Jamm  Agency: VCCP  PM: Trevor Baines  Coordinator: Chey Peytrich  DOP: Trent Opaloch  1st AD: Gareth Moses  Gaffer: Ian Barrett  Key Grip: Mark Yates  Sound: Ian Jones  Wardrobe: Tanus Lewis  HMU: Carey Williams Location Manager: David Pink Mascot Building: Flying Fox Prop Shop  Mascot Design: Ray Lai  Production Design: Moi!

Roddy and Ronnie, my darling boys, congratulations on your marriage. Thank you for trusting me to be your officiant; it was such an honour to be play a wee part in your story. What an utter joy it was to celebrate your love in beautiful New Zealand - land of misty green hills, good folks, and the best white wine on planet earth. It meant a great deal to me to officiate my first gay wedding, hope it’s the first of many! Straights - fear not! I will still officiate your wedding, you will just have to ask really nicely. Photos mostly by my favourite elf Legolas aka @kita.nahanni . Shout out to my bestie Gollum aka @kyleahollett for making sure the sound was impeccable. Fun fact; I officiated Legolas and Gollum’s wedding in Tokyo in 2023. It was an edgier epilogue in Lord of The Rings that Tolkien’s editor cut. XO - CB aka Frodo

This is a little bit late but only because we have been too busy celebrating your magic...Happy 40th Birthday to my best pal @dabidcs. He’s the life of the party, a wandering philosopher, a little bit David Sedaris, a little bit Anthony Bourdain, a little bit Kylie Minogue all wrapped up in one wise, hilarious and bold package. To many more adventures, mi querido amigo! The world is a better, wilder, kinder place because of you! ✨

The time @dabidcs and I temporarily rebranded as a duo of insufferable influencers Tallulah and Leonardo Diaz. Tallulah lost her voice, her dignity and a couple of followers along the way but MY GOD did she have a good time.
