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.”

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!

Tomboy
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010
Speaking of kids, definitely check out my friend Cleo Pollock’s new kids’ clothing store in Silver Lake called Tomboy. Cleo has worked as a stylist for many years and she certainly knows how to pick ’em! Tomboy carries a selection of interesting independent lines, including Serendipity Organics from Denmark with its clean Scandinavian design; Nico Nico, an organic, modern, unisex line designed and produced here in L.A., Petit Bateau’s matelot stripes, Clover NY’s Indian block prints; and bold prints by Kit+Lili. Spring and summer stock will start arriving in-store shortly, so if you’ve got little ones, plan on making a big haul here! 2945 Rowena Avenue, Silver Lake 323.644.1475
Tulip
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010
One of my kids’ favorite gifts this year were tie-dye leggings I bought from my long-time friend Cheryl, also known as Tulip. Tulip has been a fixture at the Hollywood Farmers’ Market for 15 years selling handmade incense—we go back even farther than that: Cheryl and I have been friends since we were teenagers!—and she has always produced her own line of handmade clothing. Her new tie-dye items are not your usual Grateful Dead flashbacks. The "new beautiful" line is feminine and edgy, taking gently used and vintage pieces and tie-dyeing them with unique colors and techniques. We love sporting the leggings at Taboo, especially in the recent chilly weather. We do have a few pairs of her leggings here at Taboo for $25.00, but Cheryl’s booth is always worth a visit—she’s at the Hollywood Farmers’ Market every Sunday.
