The stitching holds up, the fabric keeps their shape, and these are things you reach for over and over. I've been getting their bedding and towels for my house and they feel so good.

Chapter 2: How did Larry's career in photography begin?
Like that's amazing. Yeah.
But I kept finding myself in these weird situations. Like I would be sent from one job to the next and I was kind of on a roll. And it did a lot for my self-confidence because I wasn't really a big, I wasn't always confident about myself.
And I was this always like the lanky kid in school that was like, you know, like stuffing my shirts with like fake muscles or something or a double layer in the clothes. So for, to me, it was like, you know, it did a lot for me, you know, myself and my confidence for all that. But I- I just kept moving into something else. I remember like one time I was out in L.A.
and I don't know how this happened, but I was covering there was a reporter that canceled for a major news organization and I did the red carpet for them. And I was backstage when Halle Berry won her award for the best actress or whatever.
For Monster? Yeah. Yeah.
And it's weird because she came, I guess she did some press in a different area that I wasn't at. She came back off the stage and she ran off the stage and I was like happy for her. I'd never met her in my life. And I opened my arms and like she was like, oh my God. And like she hugged me and then it was like a good probably 10 seconds and she started going like this.
Yeah.
she's like all right enough buddy who are you yeah because it was like like the reality set in is like i don't know this guy and but you know it's like but you guys were both so caught up in the moment like what a sweet moment i was happy for her and you know i'm sure she probably doesn't remember but it was like to me it was like just i just kept finding myself in weird spots yeah well you were meant to be there for a reason even though you might not know why you still were meant to be there for a reason she needed that hug
But after that, I went on and I continued to do the Derby Beat every year. And that's when in 2000 and... I'd say 2002, it started getting really crazy. There were a lot of crazy celebrity happenings. There was a time when Pam Anderson came. She was dating Kid Rock at the time to the Barnstable Brown Gala. It was like this...

It's like, she started hitting the ground running with doing promo. Like basically she was throwing trim spa t-shirts out to everybody.
I feel like she was really good at promoting herself.
Yeah.
And, uh, like it says in the documentary, which we'll start talking about in a little bit. Um, she, as soon as the cameras were on her, she came alive.
Yeah. It was a different, it was, it was almost like a light switch. Like, you know, I think of, I was thinking about it earlier and I was thinking what the, the transition of that, but, um, which we could talk about, but, um, yeah, so t-shirts were flying and people were screaming and, and, and there were a lot of celebrities there and, and all heads turned when she got off that bus.
Mm-hmm.
she had on this black dress. It was like low cut with these rhinestones and she had, you know, her hair was all up, like jewelry just flashing. Every time I took a picture, it was flashing all over the, you know, it was like, it was like, it was kind of like an aura, you know, like when she moved through the crowd and people were like,
But I mean, I was still in the mode because I had a job to do. I had like several jobs to do. So I was like, I really wasn't like reading too much into it other than like that. Wow. But also the transition of the year prior to that.

And
Not the low bunk on the ground.
It wasn't the low.
Oh, okay.
I mean, that's probably where I deserve to be because I was like the low man on the totem pole as far as like the group.
I was like, they did you wrong if they put you on the bottom bunk.
I was kind of like, I remember I was up like in the middle and then I, Anna was getting her stuff. And of course she was always being briefed on stuff. Like tomorrow we're doing this, tomorrow we're doing that. And like people were coming in and I was kind of like trying to stay out of it and stuff. And again, I still felt like I didn't earn my place on the bus. I don't know if that's just,
No, I get it. I understand that.
And I, I, I, I was kind of like, uh, I remember closing the curtains and I was like, like trying to like, I was watching a movie in front of me that was on the bus. And, um, and finally I was like, what's going on here? Like, I still was in kind of disbelief that this was happening, but I wasn't like, because I'd been, and I'd covered celebrities and stuff. I never had this situation.

You know, we were just talking and stuff and had like talk about we were like talking over like stuff from like, you know, childhood and different things, not not deep stuff. It was kind of like surfacy stuff like, you know, and I didn't really ask her too much about her stuff. She was kind of asking me, you know, about my family and different things. I was like telling her.
and, uh, just like little conversation. And, um, you know, that happened, nothing really major. We get to LA and she lived in studio city and the bus wouldn't go up her hill or Canyon or where she lived. And so we stopped in this parking lot. And I remember getting out of that bus and thinking, are they going to blindfold me now?
Like, and where I don't know where I'm going to like the bat cave, you know, like, you know, and it was, I had that weird, just kind of like, you know, feeling,
I saw it when you walked in here. You're very suspicious. Like you, like you like to know what you're walking into.

Chapter 7: What challenges did Larry face while dating Anna Nicole Smith?
still kind of wondering why you are there too.
I'm sure. I mean, I, you know, I had planned on going home. It didn't happen. So, you know, I'm now I'm in, in Los Angeles at Anna's house. And, um, so we get into the house and, um, and I'm, I'm thinking I've seen this house on the reality show. I, I, And we would sit back on Sundays or whenever it came on and we would laugh at it, the show. And we would hear some of the crazy shit she did.
And it was just like you saw it on television. But there were actually, it's like the studios, there's like working lights still set up. So like if you go under like a catwalk and there's like strips of light and there's cords and different stuff. So like you kind of felt like you walked onto a hot set, but you were like in her house.
Right.
You know, and I was like, okay, this is different, but whatever. And who am I to say anything, you know? And we're up in this canyon, I remember. And I remember thinking, I mean, this is nice. This is a cool house and, you know, whatever.
And I was nervous still, like, you know, and I because it was kind of like when the door opened for me to come in that everybody's demeanor dropped, you know, not Anna's, but everybody else. I felt like the mood was flat and I was like, OK. And then Anna was telling her assistant, go do this, get Larry, show Larry this and whatever. So. Anna's room is upstairs.
Just to pause you right there. Do you think they did it because they were jealous of Anna's attention going to you?
Yeah, honestly, at that point, I didn't know. I knew that, and I'm friends now, and we can talk about that later, with all these people. But in that moment, I felt like they might have felt like they were threatened because I was getting the attention from her that they wanted.
Right, exactly.

Chapter 8: How did Anna's pregnancy impact their relationship dynamics?
And I felt like that maybe it was just awkward.
You're the new guy, so they were probably like, what's going on with this situation? They're trying to figure you out.
So I remember taking my suitcase and I was going upstairs and there's an office and two bedrooms upstairs. Downstairs was Daniel's room, the lowest level, and an art room.
and they kind of showed me around or whatever so i'm looking around at the time that they're showing me going well where the fuck am i gonna sleep you know like going thinking you know like you know i don't see a bedroom that's open yeah and i'm like my back's still fucked up and i don't know about the couch but i'm like i guess i do what i i have i'm told to do you know right so i i get upstairs with her and she um she shows me um you know this this is my room this is a
And I, you know, and we've all, did you watch her show? Of course. Okay. So remember when she had the big, the pink and white fluffy wall and I think, you know, a decorator did it for the show and stuff. So, and there was like clouds on the ceiling with penises in the clouds and like all this weird stuff.
And then like, there's this gigantic pop art painting of like her oil husband on one side and there's like all this stuff. Dogs are barking, yapping, you know, and stuff just hung everywhere, clothes and, and real chaotic time, you know, when we first entered there. And I was like, she's like, you could put your stuff in the office. And I was like, okay, I'm going to the office.
She goes, but you know, but you can stay in here. And I go, well, first I went in and I said, um, is, is there like a, um, thing I can put on the floor for there's like, cause there's a desk in there. It wasn't that big. And my, my suitcase was in there, but she also had extra clothes in there too. There was clothes everywhere. I'm like racks and racks and racks.
So I was like, okay, maybe this is where I'm going to stay. So I want to be respectful. And I was like, you know, uh, I was like, you know, is there something I can put on the floor for, um, no. And Anna said, no, you're going to stay in here with me. I was like, Oh, Oh, okay. Um, yeah. Okay. And, uh, yeah. So I, that's where I went.
And so, um, she was territorial about her closet and I guess a lot of women, you know, so my, my stuff was put in one room, but I was allowed to stay in her room with her. And, um,
