Your hair isn’t the only thing that needs protecting during these sunny months, so be sure to treat your eyes to some stunning cover-ups of their own. I called our friend and client Gai Gerradi of l.a. Eyeworks and asked her to share some of her favorite sunglasses from their new collection. She picked these bold and stylish frames that combine glamorous geometry with modern colors—stunning! Visit one of their two locations and have a ball trying some on. If you’ve never been to an l.a. Eyeworks before (and even if you have), prepare yourself for a great shopping experience. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, and has an amazing eye for what frames will flatter your face, because—as my friends at l.a. Eyeworks say—“A face is like a work of art . . . it deserves a great frame.”

Le Petit Bistro
Thursday, July 15th, 2010
For a little taste of Paris right on La Cienega, stop by Le Petit Bistro. The crowd is predominantly regulars like myself (I’ve been there five times in the last two months), who come back time and again for the well-prepared authentic French cuisine, including frogs’ legs and escargot! My choice of their fine fare is some thing from their extensive menu of fresh seasonal fish. Relax on their newly-added patio, and you’re sure to enjoy the perfect summer dining experience. The owners are three charming clients of mine—George, Albert, and Robert—and if you tell them you heard about Le Petit Bistro from Taboo, dessert is on them—with a kiss on both cheeks, of course!
Summer Trifle!

Summer Trifle! Some of you may have noticed the promo’s for Gordon Ramsey’s new cooking show Masterchef. Well yours truly tried out for the show with my famous Trifle. I didn’t make the cut (although they loved the Trifle), but I will share with you the summer version (just substitute pears and rubarb with a mixture of fresh berries) which will surely wow guests at your summer gatherings!
Michael Woolson
Friday, April 16th, 2010
Acting coach Michael Woolson has been a client of Taboo’s for many years. Without a doubt, Michael is one of the most well-respected acting coaches in town. When working on my own one-woman show I had the privilege of sitting in on Michael’s classes, and watching him in action is an inspiring and awesome experience. Michael has written two amazing books that tap into different aspects of the craft. The first is Emotion on Demand, which will help any actor summon the perfect emotions needed to deliver any performance. After a fantastic response to Emotion on Demand, Michael has written a second book, The Work of the Actor, which we will have on-hand at the salon as soon as it is off the press next month! It offers a wealth of detailed instruction and inspiration for delivering authentic, layered performances. A must-read for any actor!
Lennon

I think I can say without a doubt that the photographer Lennon will not take a single shot without sending his clients to Taboo. Lennon has been shooting Hollywood royalty for years now but he’s best known in the industry for spotting up-and-coming talent. To make sure their careers are properly launched, he sends them to us at Taboo to make sure they get their best first shot. Lennon doesn’t only shoot actors, though, he’s also an ace at making any professional look their best. If you need a headshot, give him a call and tell him that Taboo sent you: You’ll get 20% off the headshot. And when you make your pre-headshot appointment with us, you’ll get 20% off that, too.
