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.

#120 - SURPRISE....ONE LAST READ WITH YOUR MORNING COFFEE

Did you think we wouldn't do a wrap up - the woulda, shoulda, coulda list along with our very salient observations of the current state of fashion, food, and fun in France and Spain?   Well, we got a bit sidetracked. So here is the last of Paris and the rest of the Euro 2019 blog.  Our last night in Paris, Laurent returned and we had a dinner at Eels as planned. About a thirty minute walk (perfect, since once we are home I can't get Steve walking at all) but it was raining, so we hopped in an Uber and headed over to the 10th arrondissement in heavy traffic.  Rather than describe the great five course chef tasting menu we did- here it is in photos.  Everything was excellent, especially the bottle of Pinot Noir- too bad it was their last one and we had to switch wines for the next bottle - but that is the only criticism.   The next morning we were packed, said our goodbyes, and were off to the airport for our non-stop to Dulles...

#34 - Sometimes travel is just everyday life with better scenery and a few more meals out

....And I've been doing it wrong the whole trip???   Now you finally tell me?? Travel always sounds so exotic, especially when you take a long plane ride to get there. And a two or three week vacation is usually packed so full, long days, lots of activities and moving from place to place. In other words, every day is a day of nothing but highlights...the major museums, the thrill activities and a fancy dinner out. But a two month vacation is quite different. It is closer to regular life with one or two good surprises each day. Like our drive to Blenheim, a sleepover, and a ferry ride from Picton to Wellington  on Tuesday to Wednesday . It was really nice and I could describe what we did, the drive, the vineyards we visited, the dinner, etc. But this blog is meant to be more than just a travelogue. It's about observing and learning, looking at things with distance and perspective.  And traveling to a very far away place that is not so different than where y...

#25 - From Melbourne's Upper West Side to its Soho to its Edgy

  Really?? ….come on now, could it really be any good??? Saturday morning, nine am, and our hostess had offered to drop us in South Melbourne, just a ten minute car ride from South Yarra. When we are in cities, we love the museums and the great food but, we are also all about seeing the neighborhoods - the established ones where people live and the up and coming ones being gentrified. J suggested South Melbourne for a bite and boutiques and its Market, so, of course, we did it all.  Let's have a bit if a primer on brekky here. They have very different combinations of what comes on toast for breakfast. Steve had a pot of baked beans and chorizo and creamy feta with his toast, while I had smashed avocado, tomato, basil and yes, delicious crispy Aussie bacon, which is somewhere between what we have back home and Canadian bacon. The brekky menus do have eggs but lean heavily in the direction of either interesting muesli/ fruit/ yoghurt combos ...
