Well, actually, downtown LA. This is where I’m mixing my record. We’ve started working on it and it already sounds great—I’m very excited!
It’s been almost two years since I’ve been in LA and coming from Paris now, I really see the difference between East and West Coast. People generally are more open here, friendlier, than [...]

Funny how life catches up with you and then you believe there’s no time for the important things—like blogging!
Just landed in NYC last night and am jetlagged so up at 6 am. Plus I’m staying at a friend’s place which is wall-to-wall windows so I imagine the break-of-dawn wakeup is inevitable.
What’s been going on…
1) Show [...]

I haven’t posted because I’ve been rehearsing for this show next Tuesday. My first gig in Paris! I’ll mainly be on bass but will be singing a few things. It’s for a new project of my very talented friend Miro called either “Le Garage Miro Meet Maggie” or “Garage Booster” (I think that’s the latest [...]

I’m a lackadaisical yogini. I probably took my first yoga class ten years ago and have been dabbling in it since, but never too seriously. I loved it but preferred my workouts more hardcore: Radu, bootcamp, boxing…
But now that I’m older (ahem), I’m just not that interested in punishing my body so much and since [...]

There was an article in the New York Times this weekend about the latest crop of Carrie Bradshaw-wannabes, who chronicle their dating lives and hope to land their own Mr. Big. The article made me smile because for as long as Sex and the City has been around, so have a slew of “real-life” Carries, [...]

WordPress lets you track your hits, what people are searching under, so on and so forth. Now the blog I did about Mrs. Nicolas Sarkozy is still an all-time favorite, undoubtedly because there’s supermodels, nudity and scandale involved.
Today, I noticed a spike in traffic due to Carla Bruni. I didn’t know why until I came [...]

I had several errands to do today… It’s bitter cold (for Paris) right now and I lost my gloves in New York. Anyway, I walked around two opposite sides of town and got lost both times.
Paris, with its arrondissements, is built like a snail’s shell—or that’s what I read somewhere once.
The center of the shell [...]

I don’t purport to know all the rules when it comes to joining the Mile High Club, but as a proud member (ahem), I can attest to the topic enlivening your average dinner party.
For my last night in NYC, a group of us got together to eat, drink and send me off in high style [...]

That about sums up my week. After that last political blog (and the subsequent flurry of comments), I was knocked out by the cold/flu/sinus thing that just about everyone in the world seemed to have. BUT I found this great German-by-way-of-South Africa remedy in Whole Foods called Umcka. I recommend it to anyone who’s still [...]

I kid. Mostly. For whatever reason, whether I’ve had a boyfriend/date/significant other or not, Valentine’s has always left me feeling valentine-less and somewhat sad-sackish. Even today, I’m here in NYC while Dman is in Paris and how romantic can that possibly get with nearly 4,000 miles between us and 6 hours time difference?
So of course, [...]
