Thursday, December 13th, 2012

London, 1985

Friday, March 30th, 2012

I spent a month in London in 1985.  Within the first few days of landing, I visited a salon I heard about in a music documentary and had my roots lightened and colored bright red.  I was excited to see and learn about a foreign subculture, and having the right hair was part of the experience. When Erin Anderson, co-founder of Woodley and Bunney, asked me to be part of a photo contest that involved creating a look that depicted a period and genre in London, my left eyebrow raised.  I became obsessed.  I pulled out all of my old photos- I googled images for hours. The intensity was furthered by the photographer:  HERNY DILTZ!   It has been fun reconnecting with my past.  I will be spilling out more details in upcoming posts.  I shot this image on my iphone.

Pastel Hair

Meeting with Erin Anderson was a blast.  When I asked her what is new and exciting she shared, “Everyone has pastel hair!”   I couldn’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate spring.  She had a few other ideas that I will let you in on next posting.

Who’s Erin?

Sunday, March 11th, 2012

There are few people in the world that have a vast impact on my life. Erin Anderson is one.  Her hands created the floating tresses in the image above.

She is relentless in her quest for finding the best tools for high fashion.  In her tool box:  Her own salon and apothecary (WOODLEY & BUNNEY),  and her editorial styling career that has graced the cover of well respected indie magazines such as Nylon and Paper.  While on shoot in Stockholm, she wandered into a pharmacy in search of the next great product and…there it was:  Sachajuan.  The world needed this product and she decided to distribute it.  Thank you, Erin.

Erin will be visiting me on Wednesday to brainstorm on ways to make the world a more beautiful place.  I will pass it on.
