A Reflection of

His Family &

Creative Legacy

A Reflection of His Family & Creative Legacy A moment of repose would seem to be in order for No Vacancy Inn’s Tremaine Emory as he arrives back in Los Angeles from Europe before our conversation. Rather than rest, he welcomes a photo crew into his home as he simultaneously prepares himself for another bout of travel for the annual Every Mother Counts/Sheralyn Emory Charity Event, honoring his late mother’s life. Tucked away at the foot of the Hollywood Hills, his abode and personal effects tell a different narrative about the little known life he lives. Each keepsake provides an inside look into the intricate connection of friends and family that have made him who he is.

The thoughtfully curated home gives no evidence of a tenant who is constantly traversing the globe. Noticeably, there’s no television, only an assortment of books, records and mementos. Everything is meticulously placed, yet seemingly out of place, and books and other reference material lye sprawled out as to easily jump in-and-out of worlds on a whim. But these items possess more than information for Emory to voraciously consume, they are fragments of the collective memories, ideas and people that have made him who he is: they are his legacy.

“I loved that he was self aware. He didn't act perfect, and he talks about his imperfections. ”

The book was given at a Christmas party at Marc Jacobs’ back in 2006 by my best friend James Corgen. It’s an Incredible autobiography about the author’s journey from Saint Louis to Juilliard to following Charles “Bird” Parker Jr. around to avoiding the tropes of success and being enveloped by the tropes of success. He kept pushing, he didn't rest on his laurels. He kept moving the conversation forward and forward.

I loved that he was self aware. He didn't act perfect, and he talks about his imperfections. Like, he wasn't a great father and talks about his treatment of women. It’s not good that he wasn't a great father, but him speaking about it outwardly helps to progress.
