I wasn’t sure what to expect on the set of The Closer, but it was really so much fun! My family and I had such a blast meeting Greg LaVoi, who played host that day, showing us around the set at Raleigh Studios, introducing us to cast, crew, his adorable “Stella” cutie and his beautiful vintage Irene collection. Above is a photo they took at the studio for us (L-R: My husband, myself, my daughter, Kyra Sedgwick and my son). Aside from the picture taking, Kyra, who plays “Brenda” on The Closer, took a few moments between takes to stop and talk to each of us. She is so sweet. She asked the ages of my two kids (21 & 18) and what they’re plans were (college). It turns out, she has two kids (boy/girl) the exact same ages as mine. That’s pretty cool. Greg told us that hubby Kevin and the kids are in town visiting Kyra (NY is home) but they weren’t at the studio at the time. We enjoyed meeting some of the other cast and watching them film. That’s a first for me and it was so interesting!

Here are some photos I took from our time at the studio. Click the thumbnails to see a much larger version of each photo. At the bottom of each (large) photo, there is a description of who/what/where. For more photos of the Designs by Irene Lentz in particular, see my post at the Irene site.

In a few days, I will be visiting Raleigh Studios in Hollywood to meet my new friend – Author and Designer, Greg LaVoi. Greg generously extended an invitation to visit him at the studio where he currently designs for Kyra Sedgwick and other top talents. Unlike Greg and my grand-aunt Irene Lentz – who designed for some of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities and motion pictures of the classic Hollywood era; I’m pretty far removed from the fashion world. My personal relationship with fashion consists of making sure my clothes match and above all – are comfy! However; I do greatly admire and respect the work of Irene and look forward to seeing the collection of vintage Irene suits and dresses Greg has collected at the studio. How fun!
