Whispers

Local model Jacquelyn Lindsey met actor Josh Brolin at the wrap party for Spike Lee’s new thriller Old Boy. The star was in Louisiana for several months shooting the remake of the hit Korean film that co-stars Samuel L. Jackson and Elizabeth Olsen.

December’s Stabbed in the Art event was the last of the monthly, volunteer-driven art shows to be held at 1284 Artspace Perkins in the Garden District.
