Les Matins de Paris

Yes ladies and gentlemen, it is a long time since I made an appearance on Madame's blog, but it seems Pippa has been going hammer and tongs all over the place! I've still been around tho' like Pippa said in her previous post - helping out with the VAT returns etc... FUN! Last time I was in tho' our Naomi came in to size up the APC sunglasses for the second time. As part of our formidable customer service I took her picture so that she could get an objective view as to how fantastic she looked in both:

Naomi as Joey Ramone in black APC sunglasses

Naomi in Brat Packer style.

Naomi opted for the Brat Pack steelo. Well done her!!

In other news, last weekend I went to Paris to see my friends Goon and Koyote at the last Diamond Grilling event for a while. I bumped into Teki again from TTC who told me the video for his latest solo single is out Les Matins de Paris - a duet with Lio [you know the teenie star who sang Banana Split]



The song was summing up exactly my mood as I walked down the street on a sunny Saturday morning eating a rose petal flavoured macaroon from Ladurée.


I took this picture for Pippa. It reminded me very much of her new-ish tattoo!


And those of you who may recall if you peeped on Pippa's myspace, last time I was in Hamburg, I found a picture of Pippa doing some secret modelling on the Reeperbahn:

Well this time in Paris I found more evidence of Pippa's secret modelling career. Under the layer of pigeon poo, that face is definitely Pippa Brooks modelling for SUNSHINE Pret-a-Porter Feminin:


Then finally - I was a little concerned after snooping around Goon's appartment where I was staying. Is this a case of confused identity? Do Mark Eley and Nick Abrahams have a mysterious past? Who is the father of DJ Goon?

Please call Madame now, the London representative for Interpol, on 05601 151 584 with any leads you may have.

After spending last weekend in Paris, I had the chance to be return good host to my dear friends DJ Goon and his girlfriend Fanny. On Friday night, Goon was play at the Old Blue Last at Prancehall's party night DO IT! back to back with Paul [aka Brains.] There were loads of people there, and I always worry the floor will collapse there with people jumping up and down. Ruff Sqwad came down and MC'd for a while - and I was too hyped when I got a picture of myself with Scholar. He gave me a kiss, held my hand and called me baby. I'm well easy to to please. BUT THEN after his set, Jammer let me take a picture of us both

but OOOPS!!! it looks like Jammer is giving me the double fisted finger!! Hahaha!

Hmmm... we all drank a bit too much and our early morning start was delayed by only a COUPLE of hours, then Goon, Fanny and I went shopping. Seriously we went everywhere INCLUDING Shop At Maison B. I was dying to show my friends where I work so we went down at the end of the day to visit Pippa and have a glass of Rose. While there Fanny found a jacket she liked. And I have to say - WE SOLD AN APC JACKET BACK TO A FRENCH WOMAN!! Yeah!!! We must be doing something right!

What is it about French females that make you feel like commiting a quick murder? Gorgeous?! Cute?! Effortlessly cool?!

And here is Fanny in the black cab on the way home clutching her cake box - still looking gorgeous!!

Chez Moi!

Well! I wasn't gone long, but my weekend in Paris was so nuts and wonderful that I am totally exhausted and really glad to be back in my little bed in London hanging out watching TV.


But back in Paris, I got to hook up with some of my best friends [anti-clockwise from top left] Livia, DJ Koyote, Bitch Ass Darius, your truely and DJ Goon.
I was also thrilled to meet Teki Latex - one of the guys from French group TTC who has made some great music recently. Check out this video [thanks youtube] and maybe you will see why I think Teki is so fab.

And he talks about some of the people he has worked with for the album - Lio!!!! MON DIEU!!!!
And if you are into booty bass, miami, baltimore, ghetto tech, chicago house, italo disco and have a sense of humour you will probably love this:

from DJ Goon and DJ Koyote of Diamond Grills.

The Look at London College of Fashion

Tonight Paul Gorman, author of the periodical The Look, with Max and Pippa talked about the history of their boutiques in Soho. LOADS of people turned up and so the few hours I spent up late last night cobbling together the slide show for the talk were worth it. If you want to see a pictorial history from Shop to Maison B click here until I find a more permanent site for it. When you view the pages, remember to set your browser view to "full screen".

After the talk, All About Eve Babitz gave a performance and then Max and Pippa signed their pictures in The Look

On the way home, Paul and I stopped off to check the alley way nearby our house to see what the latest graffiti.

I swear this wasn't me that wrote that. But who did - this is THE TOTAL BOMB in so far as scribbling on the wall goes.

I'm off to Paris for the week to see my friend Bitch Ass Darius spin at Triptyque organised by Diamond Grilling - my friends DJ Koyote and DJ Goon. I'm also supposed to buy a Lanvin bow tie for Max. Let's hope I don't have to nurse a hangover so serious on Saturday I can't even get out of bread for some Brioche!!!
