• Fix Up, Look Sharp by Dizzee Rascal & Bourbon Slush

  12 oz frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate

• Catch Hell Blues by The White Stripes & Tennessee Mud
  Another blues filled track, with a twist though, a Southern twist. à la Jack White… Amazing guitar, vocals at their best… Morning wake up tune that is.

Picture Pick: Julie & Héloïse

Hell weekend for my grey cells

Hi, haven’t posted anything in a while, but here’s what happened to me in the past two weeks.

Yesterday I started a new job in a poshy-posh 5* hotel near Place Vendôme in Paris called the Westin Paris. I work in the First Restaurant which is an independant but part of the hotel thing. Rich & Famous, No-manners & Idiots, that is what composes our customer base. Including the regular business man/women, you wonder how they got the PHD and/or MBA being so flippin’ dumb and nasty. So I decided to let myself go and unwind and littl, I took picture for a change…

Knowing my fave band was coming down to town on Monday 11th of June, I prepared a whole bunch of stuff on whitestripes.fr. I managed to get 30 (yes you’ve heard, you can pinch yourself, THIRTY) special tickets for a private gig, not a random private gig thought : The White Stripes themselves offered Whitestripes.fr them tickets for a recorded and soon to be broadcasted tv show. Awesome night. That was last Sunday. A few picks here :

And then the huge show at the Zenith Theater the next day was just too much for my grey cells. Managed this time to get two photo passes for whitestripes.fr so we have exclusive pictures of the gig :
