TMP 97 Aimée Toledano Makes the Scene

The photographer and film editor has been a girl about town since she was a high school student on the nightclub scene. She has worked on such modern classics as “Bayou Maharajah” and “William Eggleston in the Real World.” Aimée now runs the Embassy, a nonprofit recording studio and fashion school in the 9th Ward. With a prominent street named after her Spanish converso ancestor, she’s New Orleans royalty. Tonight she gets down and dirty with the hoi polloi in the Ring Room. Topics include Super Tuesday, going viral, a 100th episode party, the Poguetry show, fever dreams, home remedies, the Spanish Inquisition, local accents, misspent youth, Russian studies, a beloved teacher, a generous benefactor, a film career, an apprenticeship, a fortuitous meeting, best friends, the Circle Bar pre-K, celebrity deaths, a Parisian sojourn, Bunny Matthews, a cub photographer, flirting, the record biz, future plans, a summer job, William Christenberry, and much more.
