Described by the LA Weekly as a “real life Jessica Rabbit” and named one of their 2011 “People of the Year”, Lenora Claire is a Los Angeles based multiple career juggling glamour gal who takes all of her absurd projects very seriously.

After appearing on TMZ, NPR, NBC, LA Times, National Enquirer, LA Bizarro and various other media, Lenora is perhaps best known as a national news-making curator following the success of her Golden Gals Gone Wild art show, featuring erotic depictions of the Golden Girls. The show first debuted at the World of Wonder gallery in Los Angeles in 2007 and has since appeared at the World Erotic Art Museum in Miami. Lenora followed with several headline grabbing shows including Bettie Page: Heaven Bound featuring the art of legendary pin-up artist Olivia whom Lenora has also had the honor of modeling for (link to pic).

Lenora considers herself very lucky to have worked with photographers such as Austin Young, Marla Rutherford, Dean Karr, Troy Jensen, Nicolle Clemetson, and dozens of others. As a model, Lenora has appeared in multiple magazines and books, but her biggest accomplishment to date was being featured in the USA Network/Vanity Fair Character Project ad campaign which landed Lenora’s face on billboards in Times Square, an aggressive ad campaign on the streets of NYC and the subway, commercials on CNN, USA, and NBC, as well as a poster which appeared in Vanity Fair (link1, link2, link3, link4, link5). Lenora has also appeared in various catalogs for companies like Hot Topic and Drac in a Box (UK). Lenora appears in over 30 music videos for such artists as Marilyn Manson and George Michael but her most memorable cameos would have to be in the Dean Karr directed video for Billy Talent’s “Fallen Leaves” which won the Much Music video of the year award and Foals’ “Miami” directed by Dave Ma.

Lenora is also an accomplished entertainment journalist with hundreds of published articles to her credit. While on staff at Frontiers Magazine for nearly four years Lenora wrote four bi-weekly columns (link1, link2, link3)and interviewed such cult icons as Pee Wee Herman, John Waters, Elvira, Lynda Carter, Julie Newmar, and Bob Mackie. Lenora is also a host of a popular webseries called doNUTS where she interviews the colorful late night weirdos that frequent 24 hour donut shops: (link to video). Lenora was named one of the top 10 Jews in comedy by Heeb Magazine

Lenora’s birthday monkey and unicorn attended birthday parties have appeared in everything from the LA Weekly to LA Times as well as part of a TV series about Los Angeles called Allez a LA that ran on the Canal Plus network in France. Lenora can be seen every Tuesday co-hosting the outrageous nightclub Mr. Black at LA hotspot Bardot.

Lenora is currently working as head curator at the newly opened Pop tART Gallery. Lenora is also collaborating on a TV project called Manthropology with Peter Stuart director of the #1 late night cult show in the UK Eurotrash hosted by Jean-Paul Gaultier. Lenora has also worked on developing TV projects with Doron Ofir, the #1 reality TV casting agent in the world (Jersey Shore, Millionaire Matchmaker, Rupail’s Drag Race) and hopes to star on, write, and produce more television projects in the future.
