You know a fete is going to be good if Bond St. is catering it. Hello, Arugula Crispy Potato Rolls with Ginger Dressing! Last night, I partied it up at the Warren Tricomi Salon in West Hollywood for the Citysearch launch of Mopshots.com, an online hairstyle lookbook where users can submit photos and check out other people’s do’s. In between stuffing my mouth with savory sushi and swigging Rose’s Mopshots Mojitos, I caught up with my gorgeous friend, Steven Durbahn, Managing Partner of Bond St. Restaurants and his equally appealing BF, Keith Peterson, of Splits59. While reminiscing about our fondness of the Lamborghini party step and repeat (where are those pictues anyway??), Steven revealed to me that Bond Street has been hosting some sensational soirees-i.e. the Tori Spelling bash the night before. Can’t wait to get on that invite list!
I also conversed with stylist Brandon Martinez who has appeared on Bravo’s “Blowout” and Style Network’s “Split Ends” and has developed a line of hair products called B The Product. He assured me that his products are effective and you don’t have a PhD in hairstyleology to make them work. Especially if you are as proficient with styling hair as I am not! Looking forward to that dry shampoo, B!
I must say that I did feel like an entirely new woman once Lorenzo Calderon, an extremely talented stylist at Warren-Tricomi, had his way with me, meaning HAIR! This was not our initial rendez-vous though. He had styled me to perfection on Day 2 at the Haven during the Oscars, which was the day before Ed Tricomi himself worked his magical mitts through my mane! I know-it’s part of the job Perplexed at how effortlessly Lorenzo would toss and twirl my hair into picture-perfect, fuss-free submission, I couldn’t help but look on with envy and groan, “why can’t I style my hair like that?” Without pause, he wittingly retorted, “Well then you wouldn’t need us!” and he is accurate-we do need our hairstyling heroes. Not only do they make us feel glamourous and fabulous, but that 1 hour in the chair often constitutes an entire counseling session and can avert us from pulling our own hair out. The stories that could be told………….
