Sean Borg and Julian Lennon LIVEMAGAZINE In case you’re wondering, NO folks, I haven’t fallen off the face the earth… I’ve been working! So many people have been sending me messages recently wondering where I am. Well, I’m here… I’m there… OK, OK, I’m everywhere! Just not in Palm Springs much these days. But I do pop in and out for the odd Mimosa...More importantly, as you can see, I’m still a loyal columnist with LIVE Magazine… ‘Scene by Sean’ lives on. YAY! It’s just different now, that’s all. I reported on almost every event that Palm Springs had to offer last year and you can only take it so far, or you run the risk of becoming over-exposed - or even worse…BOR- ING... And boring is something I WILL NEVER BE! I have to say; I’ve missed Levvy and Juli, though (they’re the publishers of LIVE Magazine). Things are going great for me right now (more on that in the near future) and I will be doing the odd featured cover interview every now and then for LIVE with a bunch of new and interesting people - focusing mainly on the crowd in Los Angeles. So for my first ‘Scene by Sean,’ Los Angeles, I decided to dedicate it to a Brit. Renowned photographer, Richard Young. Richard and I go back YEARS… He first photographed me when I was about 15 years old; I was partying at Stringfellows nightclub in London’s West End (way too young to drink). Richard was one of the most famous photographers on the ’scene’ in the UK. In the early 1970s, Richard began his professional career as a photographer with a rebellious act of his own – he gate-crashed the Dorchester Hotel in the guise of a deejay to photograph Richard Burton’s 50th birthday party hosted by Elizabeth Taylor. He was subsequently kicked out by Taylor herself, yet managed to take a photograph that night that endeared him to the actress for the rest of her life. Thus, the cheeky photographer’s career was born and the door to a countless number of A-list parties, concerts, and fashion shows around the world was opened. Richard photographed me leaving Stringfellows, and countless other well-known venues many times throughout my years growing up in London. On one particular occasion, I distinctly remember Richard photographing me leaving a club with George Michael and his posse. I recently begged Richard to the find the pics, especially after George’s passing. They hold such great memories. Anyway, I can’t tell you how excited I was when my friend Lady Victoria Hervey invited me to see Richard’s photographic exhibition at the Leica Gallery in West Hollywood earlier this month. This was the setting for “Rebels,” Richard’s new collection, with an opening reception that saw some of Hollywood’s biggest and well-known art enthusiasts and philanthropists attending the fabulous A-list soiree. I attend the event with my dear friend Zeta Graff. YES, (Ahem) I said Graff...as in the diamond! Other members of the ‘in-crowd’ who attended this stunning event included, former 70’s ‘Bond’ girl, actress - Britt Ekland, Film Producer - Julia Verdin, Jewelry designers - Loree Rodkin and Stephen Webster, actor Clement von Franckenstein, TV news host, Caroline Feraday, composer Magnus Fiennes, billionaire philanthropist and investor Nicolas Berggruen and of course Richard’s wife Susan Young! It was great catch up with Julian Lennon, who I had not seen for years. Julian and I giggled about how we used hang out at his house when we were kids and call the psychic hotline wayyyy back in the early 90’s… We used to create fake personas and laugh when the silly - “so-called” psychics thought they getting their readings 100% correct - but they were wrong every single time… Not even warm. Well, he’s the son of John Lennon, not a shopkeeper or a milkman’s child. We used to have so much fun, but the phone bills were HUGE! Anyway, back to Richard. I am so proud to know one of Britain’s most famed photographers; this man has truly seen it all. In 1976, he went on tour with The Sex Pistols. He documented the punk scene emerging in Soho, London whilst also capturing the outrageous disco divas at Maunkberrys and the Embassy Club. He photographed rock stars on-stage and off. As a close friend of Freddie Mercury, Young toured the world with Queen and attended Freddie’s outlandish birthday parties. Richard Young’s career has spanned decades – before the dawn of the digital age, when celebrities were less weary of cameras and nudity was commonplace in clubs. He is a social documentarian, and a photojournalist of an ever-changing social culture. And rebels are the best subject matter. Chosen from Richard’s archive of over two million photographs, this exhibition features some of Richard’s most famous shots of society’s most-loved rebels. I was thrilled when my date Zeta (Graff) bought Richard’s Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall print for an undisclosed sum… The night ended with Lady Hervey, Zeta, Julian Lennon and myself being ushered around We-Ho by ‘the man-about-town’ who knows EVERYONE - Reda Bouaissa. Reda got us a table at the coolest restaurant Catch with a simple click of his fingers. Followed by us jumping the red rope at hip nightclub, Delilah… that place is virtually impossible to get into. But weeeeeeee did! “Rebels,” by Richard Young, is currently on show, so if you get a chance pop into the Leica Gallery in West Hollywood and check out this incredible work! Until next time ‘Sceners’!
