The Riches in Beverly are Still Riding the Winds and Waves
“Welcome to Hollywood! What's your dream? Everybody comes here; this is Hollywood, land of dreams. Some dreams come true, some don't; but keep on dreaming!”
-《Pretty Woman》
Recalling the cold winter in Canada, the easiest way to avoid depression is to buy a ticket to California. Every time I walked out of the airport, when the first ray of California sunshine shone on my face, my first response was "Ah! This is happiness."
I will try to arrange to visit Los Angeles every three months. In addition to business meetings, there is a personal reason. I like to go to LA for a haircut.
When my girlfriend Tanny, who is based in Hong Kong, told me every time that she was going to Singapore next week. I will ask her, are you going to have your hair cut again? She will laugh and say yes. In fact, we all know that she was accompanying VIP customers to Singapore to handle private banking business. Going to Singapore for a haircut has become a secret word of our business. Tanny indeed only cuts her hair in Singapore. Her hair stylist is Daniel Ng, who works with many beautiful women around the world, including wealthy business women, public figures, celebrities and members of the royal family. His status in Singapore is like that of Kim Robinson in Hong Kong.

And my favorite salon in Los Angeles is Mèche Salon. Every time I come to LA, I will look for my “TONY” teacher: Eli Thomas.

Eli Thomas is also the founder of Vuja de Beauty. His concept is based on the sense of ritual, which empowers the products through design and quality. He wants to create the most beautiful hair care product in the world – hair brushes.
“When you look for something familiar with a fresh view, that is VUJA DE.”
"You live in a beautiful house, you need this beautiful brush to start your day when you wake up every day"
"Beauty" is a kind of enjoyment. A smart woman lives only for one audience - herself.

Los Angeles is a place that excites people and a place to build their dreams. Most people will connect to film when they think of Los Angeles because of Hollywood. Universal Studios has naturally become a business card of LA. Even if you've been to the Universal Studio in many countries, you will still find the one in Los Angeles closest to the original.

Last year, Alison Wonderland attended a pool party to celebrate the launch of the Forever 21 X Pepsi co-branded clothing collection.

Last summer, actor Leonnon Stella attended the exclusive rooftop party organized by Chase Bank as a guest of honor.
2019 BET Awards weekend event, the famous DJ Khaled hosted a dinner party at the Highlight Dining Bar Lounge. Many celebrities gathered together on that night, including JameeFoxx, Teyana Taylor, and rapper Jim Jones.
The famous rapper WizKhalifa (who once sang the theme song "See you again" of "Fast and Furious 7") made an outstanding performance at the Halloween weekend carnival party. The party was filled with a hubbub of voices and extraordinarily bustling.
The Tao Restaurant
TAO Restaurant - gains popularity around the world, the most profitable restaurant group in the United States and is also one of the restaurants with the highest chance of meeting celebrities in LA. You may meet celebrities at a glance at the adjacent table or even meet celebrities when you come out of the restroom and look up. The Tao Group’s Halloween Carnival Party opened on time every year. Famous rappers Travis Scott and DJ Guy Gerber once made their special performance and the party scene was full of excitement.
In addition to architecture, art, beach, and sunshine, Los Angeles also has a place that fascinates the rich all over world, Beverly Hills! When I was practicing my English listening, I loved watching a Hollywood movie “Pretty Woman”. Many of the shots were taken on Rodeo Drive, street known for luxury goods boutiques. Every time I come back to this place, window shopping alone is enough to satisfy my eyes, and I often encounter groups of supermodels who are preparing for casting. All of them have blonde hair, blue eyes and long legs. They are really eye-catching! But what excites me the most is visiting the House of Bijan.
I remember once I was wandering alone on Rodeo Drive, my eyes were attracted by a dazzling Bugatti.

The door of the boutique behind me opened gently, and an elegantly-dressed shop assistant bowed and fareware to her gentleman guest. My sight was attracted by the storefront and the window again. As I walked up the stairs, the shop assistant stopped me politely, "Hello! We only accept regular guests who make an appointment here." "Sorry, I am a tourist." She looked at me from head to toe twice, including my handbag, with the eyes of the two shop assistants used on Juliet Roberts in the movie and then politely said, "OK, welcome!"
A lady manager accompanied me to the latest seasonal display wardrobe on the second floor, casually pointing at the photos of her VIP guests, from prince to president. Then she asked softly, "where did you come from?" I replied, "I'm from Vancouver, Canada." She didn't seem to be interested in me. Then I added, "I often go back to Shanghai, China, and I am from Shanghai." She immediately increased her interest and asked me if I am using WeChat. I answered, “of course.” She enthusiastically asked me to add her WeChat and told me that she had a few excellent guests from China. I felt that she saw the rise of China's economy and the huge market from me. It also made me feel proud of myself. This was a boutique with a limited edition design for men. There were only two kinds of women's products. Of course I can't treat myself badly, so I chose a bottle of perfume for myself. To me, this was more like a training in brand services. My shopping expenses were regarded as training fees, so I won’t feel guilty anymore. Haha!
Leaving Rodeo Drive, driving a short distance to the Hotel Bel Air on Beverly Hills was the enjoyment of my spirit and taste buds.

Compared to my Old Glamour affection, my daughter and her friends like to go to the Beverly Hill Hotel, because they can meet the world's most famous dog star Jiff Pon.
LA is an endless city, and almost everyone can express their love for it from different angles. Finally, in order to foreshadow the content of next month, Los Angeles also has a business card that will never go out of fashion, it’s called Trend. Its street culture is different from Brooklyn in New York. It leads young people all over the world who are pursuing fashion, and has successfully bred one brand after another with epoch-making significance. If you ask about the clothing brand that the post-95 generation wants the most, 90% of them will tell you supreme! The times have changed dramatically, and the trend can naturally become contemporary art. LA is still the best among them, and this is precisely the charm of it!
