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 [...]

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 [...]

No day of rest for me. When you’re trying to finish a record, there’s no such thing as a weekend off. But that’s ok. I’m happy to be in here singing, although I’m having a hell of a time trying to nail this one vocal. Ugh. It’s just not working and it’s so frustrating!
Anyway, it’s [...]

I haven’t blogged in a bit due to mild depression, I think. Certain existential crises about who I am and what I’m doing here in Paris. The gray weather lends itself nicely to deep (and not-so-deep—”are my pores too big?” 
self-reflection. But I’m over the crises (I’m Maggie Roxx, damn it!), I’m heading back to [...]

Skiing in the Alps is exactly like you see, hear, read about.
It’s breathtakingly beautiful and surprisingly easy to learn. I took lessons with Francois, who was a pro snowboarder (and skier, of course)—typically gruff, French and a lot of fun to learn from.
Here’s my “prof” and me:
In three days, I went from “doin’ the duck” [...]

Dman and I are heading to the French Alps for a ski weekend. Exciting!
To preface all this, I’ve only gone skiing once in my life when I was fourteen. In the Poconos. Right after a growth spurt. So me being all gangly arms and legs with no sense of balance… I came back with both [...]

Aarggh… It’s 11:15 and I just woke up. Nothing makes me feel lazier than getting out of bed past 9 am. I’m usually an early riser, but with the 6-hour time difference and my not having to start work until everyone else is up in NYC, there’s no motivation for me to jump up and [...]
