The white glove. The red leather jacket. The over-gelled curls. Michael Jackson was definitely the Prince of Pop. But was he a style icon, too?
Sad news this afternoon: Actress, beauty and hair icon Farrah Fawcett has passed away at the age of 62 after a three-year battle with cancer.

I admit it…I not only live in New Jersey…but I live in FRANKLIN LAKES!!!!! For those of you who don’t understand why this is semi significant, my sweet little town has been humiliated recently as the setting on THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY.
So you’ve all probably experienced a client who’s a salon hopper. She sees you one or two times and then is off to try a new place. She goes to that salon a couple times and then moves on to yet another salon.
Pink it’s my new obsession;
Pink it’s not even a question;
Pink on the lips of your lover; ‘cause
Pink is the love you discover.
International Inspiration
I am on the most incredible trip with my husband and his best friend from nursery school. The friend, we’ll call him “Jeff”, has done QUITE WELL for himself since those early days in New England. Jeff invited my husband and myself to join him, his wife and another couple on a tour of Eastern Europe…via his G5! Yeah, a G5…the uber luxurious private jet that carries 12 and can fly for 14 hours without refueling.
In a candid interview with People magazine, naturally brunette Mark-Paul Gosselaar dishes about what it was like to play a blond on the '90s sitcom Saved by the Bell.
On another chilly, rainy day in Paris, L’Oréal Professionnel brightenedthings up with their day of inspiration.
Our second attempt to visit Notre Dame was successful! The Obamas have left town and Paris is back to its usual tourists.
L’Oréal kicks off its 100th anniversary gala tonight with a cocktail party in the Tuilleries in Paris.
Patrick Melville had a star studded party last week when he re-opened his Patrick Melville Salon and Spa in Rockefeller Plaza in midtown New York. I was heading there and had a mini "auto incident" which totally threw me for a loop. A boulder (okay....VERY large rock) crashed into my windshield almost killing me. I was so shaken I couldn't drive for a of couple days!
We just wrapped up another fantastic ARTIST SESSION in NYC. Nine artists from around the USA and from as far away as Hawaii (aloha Denise!) joined us for two days of intense "photo session" education. Day one began with a casting. 73 top models came to the Roberto Ligresti studio, hoping to be selected by one of the artists. It was difficult to narrow down. Each and every model was special. This bad economy is kind of working for us!
If you’ve kept up with my blog, you already know by now that I have a slight obsession with tan skin.
At the end of April, I visited salon owner Rose Renda at her salon in NJ. I hand-delivered a copy of Modern 05/09 which she had not seen! Rose was a participant in the first ever Artist Session. I hope you enjoy this interview and join us in the next Artist Session.
Every time I get my hair cut, I make a promise to myself... "This time," I say, "I'm going to use products to prevent damage every single time I style my hair." Well, just like a New Year's resolution, I somehow seem to forget that promise after just a few weeks.
