Charles Booth , who was Vidal Sassoon ’ s assistant back in London . It was the Mary Quant days , who was the coolest Mod . Charles was so charming , and his accent tickled me , being I was so NYC and from The Bronx , he called me his Liza Doolittle , as if he would train me to speak properly . I moved through all the stylists , as you train under each one , and quickly got to the top assistant position and was Charles Booths right hand . He took me wherever he went , we flew to Montreal and Toronto Salons , did shows and photo shoots . I loved it so much and I really was in awe at his work , I was his protégé , as he put it . Not bad for a kid from the Bronx I thought . He inspired me to be the best . Helen Oppenheim @ www . HelenOppenheim . com was our PR person , she also was Art
