32nd ANNUAL “HONDA EVENING UNDER THE STARS FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE”
Last night, Saturday August 25th saxophonist KENNY G was headlining with orchestra, and a surprise guest performance by 80’s pop singer Richard Marx, in front of a full house at Honda Motor Company in Torrance, south of Los Angeles.
The benefit competed for attention the same night with Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival Marquee event (lafw.com) downtown LA.

"The fiber of a strong community is exceptional medical care. Honda has always focused on supporting the advancement of our community’s health,” said Steve Morikawa, vice president, Corporate Relations and Social Responsibility, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Through Honda Evening Under the Stars, we are proud to create an enchanting evening of fun and philanthropy for our friends and neighbors in the community to enjoy.”

This year’s proceeds benefited the renovation of Torrance Memorial’s Donald and Priscilla Hunt Tower. The $33 million revamp includes a new mother/baby unit complete with 25 private rooms. In addition, the fourth floor will offer a new neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) unlike the current traditional open pod model. It will feature 24 private rooms—plus a specially equipped 25th room for higher acuity patients—each outfitted to provide a complete range of newborn intensive care and large enough to accommodate a newborn’s family. The tower’s third floor will serve as a pediatric/adolescent unit, consisting of 17 private rooms.

“Proceeds from this magical evening will advance our fundraising goals toward providing the most advanced care possible to mothers, babies and children in the community,” said Laura Schenasi, executive vice president, Torrance Memorial Foundation. “We are so grateful that American Honda has once again selected Torrance Memorial Medical Center to benefit from this longstanding community tradition.”

”Italy’s most awarded bubbles toasted the Emmy Awards 70th Anniversary”

“Ferrari Trento specializes in sparkling wines since 1902, but we are not a prosecco, because champagne grapes are used in 'method classico” explained Matteo Lunello. The company started in 1902 by Giulio Ferrari who wanted to create a sparkling wine from his native region mountains of Trentino. Later, in 1952, Giulio Ferrari chose Bruno Lunelli, who was the owner of a wine shop in Trento, to be his successor.

Solo-artist Ai Weiwei: "Life Cycle" can be seen today at Marciano Art Foundation at 4357 Wilshire, Los Angeles, CA until March 3rd 2019.

Photos by Karen Ostlund

Ai Weiwei: "Life Cycle" is made of silk and bamboo

Ai Weiwei: Life Cycle exhibit is made of bamboo and silk, and is accompanied by an illustrated publication, the third in MAF’s Project Series featuring an essay written by mythologist, writer, and professor Martin Shaw.

Marciano Art Foundation announced the third MAF Project in the Theater Gallery, a solo exhibition of Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, on view from September 28, 2018 — March 3, 2019. This exhibition is Ai’s first major institutional exhibition in Los Angeles, which features the new and unseen work Life Cycle (2018) – a sculptural response to the global refugee crisis. The exhibition also present iconic installations Sunflower Seeds (2010) and Spouts (2015) within the Foundation’s Theater Gallery.
On view for the first time in the Black Box, Life Cycle (2018) references the artist’s 2017 monumental sculpture Law of the Journey, Ai’s response to the global refugee crisis, which used inflatable, black PVC rubber to depict the makeshift boats used to reach Europe. In this new iteration, Life Cycle shows an inflatable boat through the technique used in traditional Chinese kite-making, exchanging the PVC rubber for bamboo.

Ai Weiwei hanging Feiyu 2015

Suspended around the boat installation are figures crafted from bamboo and silk. In 2015, Ai began creating these figures based on mythic creatures from the Shanhaijing, or Classic of Mountains and Seas. The classic Chinese text compiles mythic geography and myth; versions of the Shanhaijing have existed since the 4th century B.C. These works are crafted in Weifang, a Chinese city in Shandong province with a tradition of kite-making dating back to the Ming dynasty (1368–1644).

Shanhaijing: Weiwei Huantou Guo 2015, all bamboo.
Similar to chapters in a book, or acts in a play, the various scenes include the mythological creatures of the Shanhaijing alongside bamboo versions of Ai’s earlier works, such as Template and Bang, and homages to Marcel Duchamp and Jasper Johns. A central theme running through the ten vignettes is freedom of speech and Ai’s efforts in defending it. Motifs recurring in Ai’s practice—the bicycle, the alpaca, symbols of state surveillance and control—are repeated and multiplied.

Windows (2015), which hangs along the perimeter of the Black Box, draws from Chinese mythology, the tales and illustrations of the Shanhaijing, the history of 20th-century art, and the life and works of the artist. The vignettes feature a dense mix of biographical, mythological, and art historical references to craft a contemporary story.

This multi-faceted installation is a continuation of Ai’s ongoing engagement with politics and social justice. It follows the release of his feature-length documentary, Human Flow (2017), which depicts the refugee crisis on film. In the artist’s op-ed for the Guardian in February 2018, he writes, “I was a child refugee. I know how it feels to live in a camp, robbed of my humanity. Refugees must be seen as an essential part of our shared humanity.”

In the Theater Gallery, Sunflower Seeds (2010), is composed of 49 tons of individual porcelain sunflower seeds made by 1600 artisans from an ancient porcelain production center in Jingdezhen, in China’s Jiangxi province. This installation further expands upon reoccurring themes, such as authenticity, the individual’s role in society, geopolitics of cultural and economic exchange. The work also brings to mind the propaganda posters of the Cultural Revolution, depicting Mao Zedong as the sun and the citizens as sunflowers turning toward him.

Spouts (2015) piles together thousands of antique teapot spouts dating as far back to the Song dynasty (960–1279). Following Ai’s practice of repetition and multiplication, Spouts can be seen as a metaphor for a mass of mouths, and a widespread yearning for freedom of speech despite its continuing restriction throughout many societies. Spouts was previously exhibited in Galleria Continua in Beijing, the 21er Haus in Vienna, and the Sakip Sabanci Museum in Istanbul. This is the first time the complete work is on view

Artist Ai Weiwei has a 2nd ongoing exhibit "Zodiac" at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery until Jan.5 2019 at 925 North Orange drive, in Hollywood, CA www.deitch.com

Facts: Ai Weiwei was born in 1957 in Beijing and currently lives and works in Berlin. He attended the Beijing Film Academy and later, on moving to New York (1983–1993), continued his studies at the Parsons School of Design. Major solo exhibitions include Helsinki Art Museum (2016), Royal Academy of Art, London (2015), Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin (2014), Indianapolis Museum of Art (2013), Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C. (2012), Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taiwan (2011), Tate Modern, London (2010) and Haus der Kunst, Munich (2009). Architectural collaborations include the 2012 Serpentine Pavilion and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Stadium, with Herzog and de Meuron. Among numerous awards and honours, he won the lifetime achievement award from the Chinese Contemporary Art Awards in 2008, the Václav Havel Prize for Creative Dissent from the Human Rights Foundation, New York in 2012, and the Ambassador of Conscience Award from Amnesty International in 2015; he was made Honorary Academician at the Royal Academy of Arts, London in 2011.

Fabrik Media has won praise for bringing American and international artists to Los Angeles for their annual Photo Independent and Fabrik Expo art fairs.

The Reef building

Skulpturengarten is an indoor sculpture exhibition curated by Ichiro Irie, and will feature over 20 contemporary artists from Los Angeles and around the world. This event will take place during Fabrik Expo, October 5-7, 2018 at The Reef, downtown Los Angeles.

Two art shows bring global variety to Los Angeles’ Art Patrons, highlighted by an Sculpture Garden and Experience Lounge.

“We are about empowering all kinds of creative expression,” stated Chris Davies, founder and director of both fairs. “For 2018 we are excited to showcase Skulpturengarten, an indoor sculpture exhibition, curated by Ichiro Irie, and will feature large-scale to monumental, freestanding sculpture works by some of the most exciting and innovative, emerging to mid-career artists from Los Angeles and around the world.”

Pontus Willfors Chair as sculpture

Skulpturegarten takes its inspiration from the classic sculpture garden, whose origins reach far back as 175,000 years ago in the Bruniquel Cave in France. The works presented will showcase the diversity of materials and approaches from artists such as Jeff Colson, Pontus Willfors, Shusuke Ao, Rochelle Botello, Anibal Catalan, Martin Durazo, Lauren Fejarang, Ashley Hagen, Kellan Barnebey King, Jason Manley, and Abdul Mazid, to name a few.

Equally as interesting and thought-provoking is The Experience Lounge, with an art activation titled, The Sereal Killers, by art duo VALTD, and presented by Cartwheel Art. The Experience Lounge is aimed at killing misconceptions and preconceived notions, along with closed or narrow-minded judgments cast on people, especially women, when often the exact opposite or close to it, is true. Participants will have the chance to become ‘sereal killers’ themselves, all while enjoying a mix of delicious cocktails served by the local legends Los Angeles' Infuse Spirits.

Sandra Mann art

Photo Independent, the longest running photo fair for photographers in the World, is now in its fifth year in Los Angeles. Photo Independent champions a new generation of photographers and has become one of the most significant annual photographic events in the World. This year also marks the launch of Photo Independent in Paris, at the Carrousel de Louvre, November 8-11, 2018.

The concept of this exhibition takes its inspiration from the classic sculpture garden whose origins reach far back as 175,000 years ago in the Bruniquel Cave in France. Skulpturengarten will feature large-scale to monumental, freestanding sculpture works by some of the most exciting and innovative, emerging to mid-career artists. The works presented will showcase the diversity of materials and approaches employed by today’s sculptors including abstract, figurative and conceptual work that use carved wood, found objects, welded metals, sewn fabric, resins and fibers, and photo-installation.

Hollywood Forever Cemetery presents the 19th annual Dia de los Muertos festival October 27 2018: NOON until MIDNIGHT: This year’s theme: COATLICUE “MOTHER OF GODS”

Photos by Karen Ostlund at Hollywood Forever media preview October 10, 2018

President Tyler Cassity : "For 19th Annual Dia de los Muertos, we honor the Aztec goddess who gave birth to the moon, stars, and the sun. This year 2018, we are celebrating the divine feminine, the mother that unites us all, COATLICUE, Moher Of Gods."

Coatlicue most famous monumental representation was at the Temple Mejor in Mexico City. After the Spanish Conquest, the temple was destroyed and her statue was buried because it was considered an inappropriate pagan idol by Spanish invaders. After languishing in obscurity for more than 200 years, she was rediscovered in 1790.
Not long after she was found, Coatlicue was reburied — she was considered frightening and pagan. Many years later she was uncovered again in the twentieth century, becoming one of the crowning objects of the National Anthropology Museum and Mexican/Aztec identity.

This year’s main stage will feature Panteon Rococo (photo), also The Mexican Institute Of Sound and Hello Seahorse among many.

HISTORY: Dia De Los Muertos is one of Mexico’s traditional holidays reuniting and honoring beloved ancestors, family and friends. It is an ancient and enduring ritual when the living commune with the dead – a mystical night when the veil is lifted between their two realms and they may share a day together.

AZTEC DANCES & RITUALS

The historical roots of this celebration date back to the pre-Hispanic cultures of Meso-America of the indigenous people, especially the Nahua (Aztecs, Mayans, Toltecas, Tlaxcaltec, Chichimec, Tecpanec) and others native to Mexico more than 3,000 years. When the Spaniards conquered the country, this indigenous custom was rooted so deeply that, after five centuries of colonization, it has continued to survive and remain as celebrated as in its first days. Throughout each period in Mexican culture, death seems to hold no terror.

In Mexican art, legends, and religion, death has not been a mysterious and fearful presence but a realistic recognizable character as much a part of life as life itself. Dia De Los Muertos expresses this perspective: it is not a mournful commemoration but a happy and colorful celebration where Death takes a lively, friendly expression and is not frightening or strange.

UNAM LA exhibit by artist Tomas Casademunt

There is no place for sorrow or weeping for this could be interpreted as a discourteous to the dead relatives who are visiting gladly. Indigenous people believed that souls did not die, that they continued living in Mictlán (Place of Death) a special place for them to finally rest. On Dia De Los Muertos, tradition holds that the dead return to earth to visit their living relatives. It is believed that although these relatives can’t see them, they can surely feel them. This night is an important feast and evocation. It is a time when family members share memorable stories that evoke the lives of their ancestors .

Offerings and altars are created to welcome and commemorate the dead. Marigolds and incense are offered in abundance because it is believed their aromatic scents guide the dead to the place where the feast is being held. . A profusion of candles dispels the darkness just as the souls are being illuminated from the shadows of death. Altars are created with photos, mementos, fruit, bread, and other favorite things of the ancestors being welcomed and honored. The artifacts of these altars also provide the opportunity to teach children about those who came before them. Dia De Los Muertos is a time of celebration on remembrance. It is also a time to come to terms with our mortality and become aware of the cycle of life and death. Rather than deny and fear death this event teaches us to accept and contemplate the meaning of mortality.

Two of her works will be exhibited in DIVERSEartLA: The Parthenon of Books, and Rayuelarte.

The Parthenon of Books: The return of democracy to Argentina in December 1983 was the inspiration that led Marta Minujín to create a replica of the Greek Parthenon on the “9 de Julio Avenue,” a street located in Buenos Aires (Argentina). Mujín’s Parthenon has a metal structure covered with more than 20,000 books, many of which had been banned during the military dictatorship. The Parthenon of Books honors the world’s first democracy and the values of that era, which have served as the basis for today’s Western democratic societies. This work also stands as a symbol of the country’s prolonged need and renewed hope to transition back to democracy. Over time, Mujín’s thought-provoking work has become an icon of freedom of expression. In 2017, the artist was invited to present a new version of this project at the 14th Edition of Documenta, one of the world’s top contemporary art events that takes place every five years in Kassel (Germany). Her new work was praised and highly acclaimed by the critics, who saw in this powerful piece an emblem of democracy and global freedom.

Rayuelarte is a playful and interactive intervention created by pop artist Marta Minujín in order to honor renowned Argentine writer Julio Cortázar, who wrote a book entitled “Rayuela.” Minujín reimagines Cortázar’s emblematic literary piece to bring to life an art piece that appeals directly to the participation of the public, for Rayuela is also a popular game played by children—and some adults—across the world.

Andrés Paredes
Presented by CCK - Buenos Aires, Argentina

One of the leading art institutions in South America, CCK - Buenos Aires, Argentina will be exhibiting Memories of Mud, a multisensory experience created by Argentinian artist Andrés Paredes. The installation is a participative, multisensory experience comprised of clay domes that house fantastical landscapes. Viewers can only see this when they immerse their heads in ports at the bottom of the installation, creating an experience comparable to putting on a VR headset—except this is real. The exhibition utilizes scent, originally composed music and a careful system of indirect lighting to illuminate the artful environment.

Ink Painting
Presented by Baik Art (Seoul & Los Angeles), Kamiya Co., LTD, Gallery Kitai, Shumoku Gallery (Japan), East Art Center, Cospace and CM2 Space (China)

Rarely seen on this scale outside of Asia, The 2019 LA Art Show will be showcasing a diverse and comprehensive array of Pan-Asian ink paintings throughout the fair, featuring artists from South Korea, Japan and China. Ink painting originated in East Asia as the tradition of using carbon-based black ink and calligraphic brush painting techniques. Ink is as synonymous with painting in the East as oil is with painting in the West. This survey of east Asian ink paintings will include works by the late Japanese legend Yu-ichi Inoue, new contemporary works by South Korean abstract landscape artist Chuni Park, Chinese artists Bian Hong, Li Huichang, Fan Peng, Li Zhihong and Yu Qiping, and Japanese artists Shiro Tsujimura, Morihiro Hosokawa, Mizuho Koyama, Reiko Tsunashima, Shoen Tominaga, Miwako Nagaoka, and more.

LITTLETOPIA

Littletopia was conceived by Red Truck Gallery founder Noah Antieau and Juxtapoz Magazine co-founder Greg Escalante as a showcase of the best and brightest from the lowbrow and pop art movements, which originated here in Los Angeles. One of the only shows in the world to devote so much programming and space to this kind of work, thousands of attendees pass under Littletopia's custom archway each year to enter the LA Art Show's mecca for imaginative, new contemporary voices, and honor the visionary artists who came before.

This year, the LA Art Show is proud to announce that Littletopia will be curated by Red Truck Gallery and Caro Buermann of Corey Helford Gallery. Fresh off their award for Outdoor Sculpture at the 2018 Lucca Biennale, cardboard art duo Dosshaus will be creating this year’s Littletopia archway.

Virtual Futures: XR Showcase
Presented by LACMA in conjunction with the
exhibition 3D: Double Vision
Curated by Britt Salvesen and Jesse Damiani

Virtual Reality is one of the most eagerly discussed topics in contemporary culture, yet many in the art world are only starting to consider its impact—aesthetic, technological, psychological, therapeutic, economic, and so forth. This year, DIVERSEartLA offers four VR experiences that demonstrate the range of practices and possibilities that are defining VR in 2019.

The tools for VR and AR creation and display—once the purview of engineers, available mainly in academia and the military—are now much more accessible to anyone with a story to tell: game designers, painters, screenwriters, documentarians, journalists, architects, choreographers, and many more. Often working collaboratively across several disciplines, this diverse community of creators is discovering the technology's potential, involving audiences in the very act of creation. According to consulting curator Jesse Damiani, "The advent of mainstream immersive technologies is the single greatest amplification of human capability since the discovery of fire, a paradigm shift so massive we've only just begun to taste its impact." Visitors to the LA Art Show's DIVERSEartLA can get a glimpse of the future as seen by four different creative innovators.

Sarah Trouche performance (photo)
Curated by Marisa Caichiolo

Sarah Trouche is a French visual artist whose work centers around cultural and political issues such as migration and displacement. She invites us to question the major challenges we face today. Working across borders and cultures, Trouche explores through sculpture, dance, photography, installation, performance and video the complexities of place, identity, displacement, and ideological differences associated with migrant experiences and marginalization. For her new performance, Trouche is committed to research on women’s emancipation. Inspired by the history of France during the French Revolution and the movement of the sans-culottes, she decided to create a collective piece called “You should wear your revolution.”

Dorian Wood seeks to glorify both the sanctity and irreverence of intimacy. Through the use of their corpulent body and booming voice, Wood revels in challenging the artist-audience separation, using subject matter informed by their own position in society as a non-binary person of color and an autodidact without a formal college education nor a strong alliance to any particular community. Their work has been showcased in concert halls and performance spaces around the world, including at such institutions as LACMA (Los Angeles), The Stone (NYC), MASS Gallery (Austin), Kulturhuset (Stockholm), and Hebbel am Ufer (Berlin). As a musician, they have released over a dozen recordings, among them two back-to-back albums, Rattle Rattle and Down, The Dirty Roof, showcasing a series of doomsday-themed songs that incorporate over 60 musicians. Their most recent album, XALÁ, marks the first time that Wood has recorded a full-length work in their mother tongue of Spanish.

PART 3 Psychic Hearing NOV.21- DEC.22 2018: Singer David Bowie is the key to resolve Jon Benet Murder Mystery.
By Karen Ostlund

Patricia Paugh and John Ramsey in TV with photo of Jon Benet (Amy)

(UPDATED OCT.17 2018) In October 1987, 7 men, with Boulder police documents, entered Universal Studios, off Lankershim blvd, with intention to become studio-executives without payroll - and supply the outside world with photos and film clips, of royals taken out of their castles - and make believe they still live there. Studio executives with payroll have been taken out, and replaced by them.
This can be resolved by telling all employers with payroll to stay home, to see who shows up to work, and how many.
Every room of both Stockholm and Oslo castle should be checked, to see if it’s possible to meet any royals featured in press, because they have been taken out, one-by-one to a lower social level. For example Carl XVI Gustav was born 10 March 1938, grew up as born 10 May 1940, now listed on the internet as born April 30 1946 - but he passed away.
3 of the 7 men entering Universal Studio's backlot in October 1987, are using the names, Lucci, Manos and Avicii, and they are living behind 3 white men in showbiz, to switch around 60’s and 70’s actors - They list online that a star actor passed away, to create a new look-a-like co-star, in front of press.
(UPDATED NOV.21- DEC.22 2018) Their first mission was to make Property Managements ‘the owners’ of city owned apartments in LA, to use the money to pay the leases in Mississippi.
In 1987, 3 studio apartments in Mississippi were equal rent for one bedroom in Los Angeles.
In 1987, Property Managements in LA got a flat fee of $200/apartment per month for maintenance and on-site services, included in the rent - but if the owners of the apartments don’t ask for any rent, the Property Managements can’t ask for any more money - only new invented owners will show up on the internet.

(UPDATED OCT.17 2018) There is a small film studio inside Universal Studio's backlot, that supply the outside world with reality film-clips about ISIS, political candidates and catastrophes, shown at all news channels.The film-studio is not hidden, but no-one knows what it’s used for. - It’s located stairs down, from a bread baking oven - where an American black woman knows the recipe of the french bread, baguette.
All employers without payroll, pull "help-money” from catastrophes shown at all US news channels, sent out from this film-studio.
Therefor, test the EARTH/LAND of affected areas of wildfire and flooding, and check which year the ground was built, of both towers of the World Trade Center.

(UPDATED NOV.21- DEC.22 2018) The same Universal film-studio was used to pre-record, 30 minutes before presidential speakers in 2008, to have the speeches go over to President candidate Obama on film. Same speech, with the same gestures, but a different person.
FACT: That’s why Melania Trump was accused doing the same speech (same pace) as Michelle Obama in 2016.

(UPDATED NOV.21- DEC.22 2018) FACT: In Stockholm, Sweden, spring 1982, Hans Timan said “ Don’t I look like 27, but I’m actually 37 - then he showed a Swedish Drivers Licence, as born 21 Feb.1955. His birth year had been changed from 1945 to 55, the year before, in his work as border control, but his real birth-year was 1944.
He told a story, that he knew the royals living in Stockholm and Oslo castle, and he had work to take out a royal son from Oslo castle, to his mother in US, in 1977.
Hans' Swedish friends described him as a loner, before he left Sweden 1987.

David Bowie's album LOW

FACT: In 1977, there was story printed in a Swedish magazines, that David Bowie had to interrupt a tour, because someone had taken his son out from Oslo, to his mother in US, without letting him now.
Insiders in the music industry, knew he had a title of a "Lord", from a royal parent in Norway, where he kept his son, but he never used the title, to get ahead as a singer.
Bowie's album “Low” in 1974, was original named “Lord”. The album was moved to 1977 on the internet.
FACT: In Paris, in the end of June 1982, David Bowie’s birth year was changed from 1942 to 47, in all major bookstores, and his records and films 3 years forward. It’s very few books left with his birth year 1942.

Mick Ronson headshot in 1970

(UPDATED NOV.21- DEC.22 2018) In 1970, before “Spiders From Mars”, singer David Bowie worked on stage with a "3-armed” magician named Patric Paugh, born 29 Dec.1946. He started to make his own records 1977, which were moved to 1987.
Patric’s photos were mixed with many photos of look-a-like guitarist Mike Ronson, (born 26 May, 1946) - during the 1970’s.
In 1980, Patric came to David Bowie’s home and showed, he could pick-up a facial soul from his heart, that went over his lips, and stabilized instantly a "Bowie’ facial mask" over his face. It was caused by, working next to him, for 7 years, with absent of sex.
The real Bowie (still alive) has two corner front teeth, slightly pointing forward, and his chin is thinner, which is visible in the movie Hunger, filmed 1979, released 1980, but the movie was moved to 1983. Patric got 8 years with the “Bowie-mask”, which included one year on stage, Glass Spider Tour 1988. The tour has been moved to 1987 on the internet.

FACT: The record-company staff that went to pick up David Bowie, for his Milan, San Siro Stadium tour date, June 10, 1988, (Glass Spider Tour), said, he had the name "Paugh" in his passport and born one week before (Dec.29), than the date Jan.8 1947, he said on stage.

(UPDATED NOV.21- DEC.22 2018) Less than a month after The Glass Spider Tour ended, the “Bowie-facial” mask started to glide down, and went inside his heart, with no return. It was caused by, the real David Bowie had sinked down, to the bottom of the atmosphere, during the tour.
Bowie was seen no-where for years, when the Universal film studio, (listed above), moved the head of the “Bowie-mask” on films from 1987-88 to put on look-a-like body frames in TV, who were performing his songs and talking at award shows.

Jon Bon Jovi in 1987

(UPDATED NOV.21- DEC.22 2018) In October 1987, Patric Paugh was called-in by Boulder house-wife "Lauren Mac Tony" (born May 15 from a Canadian father), because she needed help with “The Black Sun” over her house, caused by someone’s son (Bowie’s son).
Patric arrived to Lauren's house before, and went inside, unobserved.
Inside the house was a black man sitting in the home-office, reading the name “Charles Mendez" from a US State ID, he found among John Ramsey’s belongings. He was one of the 7 men, on his way to Universal Studios, the same month.They had boarded Jon Bon Jovi’s tour plane back to US,with help of Hans Timan.
After this incident, all ID’s of people entering this house have been switched around.
“The murder of Amy (Jon Benet) was original “a bluff”, to force singer Jon Bon Jovi, down to low - but it became reality.
It was then, the transformation started, from being Hans Timan, to become Candis Cayne, with "press-on" upper teeth, face make-up and long hair.
Hans knew "Lauren Mac Tony" was Jon Bon Jovi’s secret wife (now called Patricia Paugh Ramsey) and Charles Mendez (now called John Ramsey) was her longtime friend and live-in police. Bowie’s magician is most likely named "Tony Mac Lauren" today.
Jon Bon Jovi was taken out from backstage, at an award-show, same month (October 1987) with help of the "7 men", because a four-year old girl Amy (Jon Benet) was found dead in his home.
A year later (end of 1988) a younger, taller, Jon Bon Jovi showed up, with a grayish tone to his hair, but a different ID name, as born 1962, and a new wife Dorothea.
The original Jon Bon Jovi, was older, shorter, brown hair, his own ID name as born 1956, identical face but rounded top of the nose, and he had a higher vocal-range.
Hans (Candis Cayne) returned to Stockholm and Oslo during the Trump-divorce in 1990, to put up his photo as Harald V, as born 1937, same pose, on top of Olav V photos, on the internet. He returned to NYC, as born 1962, and started to work with the tabloids (National Enquire).
He was responsible, to re-lable “The Murder Of Amy”, October 1987, to the “Murder Of Jon Benet”, 1996, the night of Dec. 26 - but there was no year printed of the murder, inside the tabloids in Dec. 1996.
In 2000, Hans Timan (Candis Cayne) worked in a transgender office, at the same floor as PMK PR in Pacific Design Center (West Hollywood) and put together photos to the tabloids of two people dating, before they meet.
The same transgender office got problem with a burglar ring (2002-2007) of celebrity homes, using the information from PMK PR.
