You have to come to Cannes to truly appreciate it. Just returned from sipping cocktails on the Carlton Terrace where celebrities float in and out of the grandest hotel on the Croisette…whilst the music’s thumping at the beach parties on the other side of the road, the night lit up by purple fluorescent lights and […]
Day 9 – Twilight Scene, Murky Paperboy and Zac’s Rack
We were sitting poolside at The Majestic hotel yesterday evening, around twilight…watching a rather hefty Bob Weinstein ordering drinks, when we heard SCREAMS!
