Three years ago Lansky’s GL Web Media consisted
only of him, his wife Jennifer—who handles
everything from wardrobe and styling to whatever
may be needed—and his versatile executive producer
Mike Moz. Now Team Lansky is made up of about
60 employees spread across offices in three different
countries. They moved from Hollywood to Studio
City last August, taking over the same offices that
used to house Will Ferrell’s production company.
“Before that we were on Hollywood and Vine and
we were literally running out of space,” Jenn Lansky
recalls. “We were only there for less than a year and
things just exploded. First it was a couple people
and then every month we were hiring a bunch of
people.
“We have an office in Barcelona that has all of our
programmers and we have one in Montreal which
is doing our advertisement stuff, and then one here
that’s doing all the post and some pre-production
stuff.”
The immaculate Studio City space resembles a
contemporary artist’s loft with its gray concrete
floors, large glass-enclosed offices and specialty
painted walls that can be written on like a
whiteboard.
“That’s really fun if you’re brainstorming ideas,”
Jenn tells me. “We had that in our old office and it
was so much fun.”
A former fashion designer for Guess who
graduated from Otis College of Art and Design—a
prestigious private art school—Jenn is styling Miley
for her Vixen Angel shoot. Greg drew his inspiration
for today’s theme from the iconic TV crime series
Miami Vice, which aired on NBC between 1984 and
1990.
Determined to go all out, they managed to snag
a rare white 1987 Ferrari Testarossa like the same
model used in the show.
“It took us maybe six months, I’m not kidding,” Jenn says. “It was so hard to find, and Greg’s very specific. It
has to be that model, that year. That color.”
Jenn even tracked down about 20 pairs of Carrera sunglasses—another style icon—for Miley to try, not to
mention a selection of lightweight white jackets to complete her look.
“It’s a very ’80s-’90s type of sunglass. It’s like what they wore on Miami Vice,” Jenn says. “It’s part of the theme.
Everybody’s face is shaped differently, so there’s a lot of options. I know they’re going to come back, like Ray-
Bans came back.”
Greg Lansky has made themed photo shoots a signature of the Vixen Angel prize package; he rented a red
Ducati motorcycle for Keisha Grey in February, a white vintage Rolls Royce for Natalia Starr in April, and brought
out a gold AK-47 assault rifle for Vicki Chase in July.
