My inspiration for this style is a blend of historical moments... the elegant perfume of French salon couture mixed with the petroleum fumes of teen rebellion, under a high gloss fashion sheen. The complex structural volume of the chignon takes us back to the high-rise hair of big band ballrooms, while the rockabilly front and mohawk shape give us more than a hint of teenage thirst for fast cars and rock music. The texture and volume of this style remind us of 80's nightclub divas. Meanwhile, clothes and makeup complete the look with a refined black-and-white formality. Thanks Kevin Murphy for giving the world such great styling products!

Mississippi Food Carts!

Winter à la Carts

Can 2009's Cart Boom Continue Through Winter?

by Patrick Alan Coleman

IT'S NEARLY 2 PM on a rainy November afternoon and the smell carried on a sudden wind gust across the intersection of N Mississippi and Skidmore is absolutely incredible. The mouth-watering odor emanates from a cluster of colorful food carts, adjacent to the new bar Prost. This is the Mississippi Marketplace, Portland's newest "cart pod."
