A snake fans long, stylish as Fashion Week with ponytails, chignons samurai, druids beard and Viking braids off as the gilded youth of Neuilly-Auteuil-Passy, ​​two-tone as it should be, taking place at night.

Turntables precisely Godfrey Deeny hair Irishman, mode Review Le Figaro , landed after the rush, the topper planted on the head like Oscar Wilde, and immediately in the hot rap. At the top of the auditorium, away from the cheering crowd, Christophe Ono di Biot, pen of Point and wise dandy, was one of the privileged to be seated, like Louis XIV at the Opera Versailles. Only quack? Kanye West, pro as a businessman, entered the game with a 100% languid air, “anti-orgasmic” syrup and too soft for the climax of a tough guy.
