Who’s Who?

Is there a dry-cleaning store in Los Angeles without a celebrity’s picture hanging on the wall? A deli without a glossy of David Soul wishing someone “All the best”?

The Kokomo Cafe in the Farmers Market offers an alternative to this ubiquitous celebration of stardom. Its policy is to hang the pictures of customers. Every so often the management brings in a professional photographer, complete with strobe lights, back drop and makeup person. The photographer then shoots probably the only glossy 8-by-10 black-and-white head shot most of the customers will ever get in this lifetime. Photos are then signed, framed and hung over the counter.

“It’s become this enigma with the tourists,” says owner Charles Myers. “Just the other day, I heard this guy turn to his wife and say ‘Honey, I don’t recognize any of these people.’ ”

The Garfield Factor

Catsuits seem to be replacing the ubiquitous Little Black Dress seen on females at every club, restaurant and party in Los Angeles. But one critical clothing-watcher had this to say about the shape-revealing, one-piece outfits: “Let’s not forget the ‘Garfield’ factor. Fat cats beware.” Saucer of milk, anyone?

Designed to a T

Designer T-shirts will take on a whole new meaning when Northern Lights Alternatives/LA holds its celebrity T-shirt auction and fashion show Dec. 8 at the Pacific Design Center.

More than 60 celebs are donating hand-painted, stitched or embellished white T-shirts to raise money for Northern Lights, which offers services to people infected by HIV and AIDS.

Among those who have already turned in their shirts are Anjelica Huston, who used fabric crayons to render a heart being embraced by two hands; Olympia Dukakis, who stitched silver charms on hers; Michael Crawford, who did a “Phantom” mask in glitter; and model Cindy Crawford, who drew big red lips on the front, and on the back wrote, “Be a Citizen of the World.” Others still working on their designs include Madonna, Cher, Elton John, Ted Danson, Geena Davis and Tom Hanks.

To kick off the December gala, Judith Light, Bruce Davison, Sandy Duncan, Lorna Luft and other stars will be embellishing shirts at a supper party Wednesday at the Westside studio of graphic designer Marc Friedland.
