Laurent at the Party


Regular readers of this blog will recall that Laurent, who lives in Paris, spent a bit of time with us back in June & July when Marci and I were staying in the Marais section of Paris.

We met him traveling in Mexico City a few years back...
Laurent is a very talented and world famous Hair Designer, Stylist, and Consultant to Bumble & Bumble ( see: http://laurentphilippon.tumblr.com/ ) ….he was kind enough to take Marci & I to the Haute Couture fashion show in Paris, and even arranged for Marci to have the world’s best hair color touch-up in Paris at salon Superstars….see the old blog post from June 30 ( for June 29 ) to review if you have forgotten.

The party was held at '632 on hudson', who’s name is it’s address...here’s Marci walking by again the next morning….it was bitter cold these 2 days. ( Pretty nice spot : http://www.632onhudson.com )



Laurent has worked on this book, his first, for quite a few years….it is a book celebrating the Art of Hair….it is filled with beautiful photos, some famous, some rare, all about the infinite possibilities of hair design. This is a PERFECT GIFT for Xmas for your Hairdresser!  And it will be available in the USA on November 15th…

Here are some photos from the party - all are Laurent’s friends, colleges, models, and hair fashion industry leaders - enjoy.

June 24

From Vivaldi  to  Vincent (Van Gogh) THE VIVALDI PART Rewind  a bit back to Saturday, June 22nd. We had dinner at home and then   at 8:00  took a walk down the Seine to Saint Chapelle. Last time we were there in 2000, it was Christmas week and we froze waiting in line for two hours to see the chapel. This time, we simply stood in line to buy tickets to be treated to a six piece string classical concert in this magnificent setting.  The concert was Vivaldi...not just Vivaldi but theFour Seasons.....not just the Four Seasons but played spectacularly....not just played well but in a stirring setting.  The last time the music and its venue engendered  such magic was in 1977 seeing the Vienna Boys Choir sing in the 12th century Cathedral in Durham, England. The lead violin played with the speed and finesse of the finest rendition of the Flight of the Bumblebee. The light was still subtle through the stained glass though the chapel was dark.  The e...

#8 - Two whirlwind days ( and the WTF Answer )

We've literally got about 30 hours to see as much of Sydney as we can before we meet up with our friends on Wednesday at 6PM. And we vow to make the most of it. I've got a list of about six musts that I let Steve vet and although he doesn't tick anything off, I know he's thinking that I am making a killer schedule.  We start off the day with a coffee and the first Opera House tour at 9AM. The structure is surely impressive, the tour not as much, but since there is no Opera or symphony while we are right at the Rocks, the tour is the best we can do to peek inside. The architect was Danish, and the design shows it - from the two-woods paneled concert hall that the Kimmel Center is surely a total knock-off of, to the incredibly comfortable sleek seating that has stood the test of time, like all Danish design.                                             ...

#105 - Aix, Paris’s 21sr Arrondisement

After a good night sleep we awoke to another sunny, blue sky day, which here also means almost no humidity and no frizzy hair (this might qualify for reason #4 to live here). So far we have stayed at hotels where breakfast is not included, which we actually prefer. It leaves more room for lunch and vin.  In Valbonne we had an electric kettle and some Nescafe, still wildly popular in Europe, which could hold me over for an hour or so until we had a proper cafe stop. But here in Aix, a kettle, mugs and nothing else. So we were up and out a bit quicker this morning for our cafes and a shared pan chocolate (a rectangular croissant-like pastry filled with chocolate, but you knew that).      We headed to the main tourist drag, Cours Mirabeau, to La Rotunda fountain, and to the TI to get the requisite walking maps and info. It was still too early for the upscale shops or musee so we did a bit of shopping to find the right adapter to charge our devices, an...
