FLIP FLOP HEAVEN

The elegant camps that line the two lane highway headed to Vermillion Bay reminds me of a page out of Garden and Gun Magazine. The locals call this area The Point and I can just imagine all the summer coctails that are created on the verandas facing the gulf. With each camp given a unique name to describe it's zest for a bon tempt, one surely could be called Flip Flop Heaven.

 This photograph was taken on a recent weekend excursion down to Rutherford Beach  in Cameron Parish.  I was the driver of the getaway truck with two of my cousins and as we drove up on this scene we found the marsh on fire.  It this doesn't scream that the earth is in trouble nothing does.  Louisiana is know for it subtropical landscape with its lush marshes and bays.

She was more of a cocktail in a crystal glass type of woman. C’est la vie.

Two African carved masks are positioned on the wall.  A draped Western Cow hide shields an upstairs loft, and in a hidden corner a bronze Buddha.   Something for everyone.   As clients come and go, I watched her work her magic like a Voodoo Queen.     It’s easy to love this quaint salon.   Wasn’t Marie Laveaux a French Quarter beautician?
