Woman of the World
Vanity Fair - By: Jonathan Alter - June 2011
In her ninth year as America’s most admired woman, Hillary Clinton is dealing with radical change across the globe, as well as trying to transform U.S. diplomacy on the nuts-and-coffee level. But despite the secretary of state’s punishing pace—half a million miles in her Boeing 757—and the complex relationship between her and President Obama, Clinton seems clear about what she can (and can’t) accomplish, and, as Jonathan Alter reports, her friends are clear about something else: Madam Secretary is in her element.
It was four a.m. when Hillary Clinton’s plane touched down at Andrews Air Force Base, and by midmorning she was in the Oval Office conferring with President Obama. The night before, as her plane was en route from Tunis, they had agreed that the vote of the United Nations Security Council to impose a no-fly zone on Libya meant that it was now decision time on launching a third American war in the Middle East, though no one in the U.S. government dared call it that. Muammar Qaddafi was ramping up his genocidal threats, pledging to…{read more below}

The Clinton Coiffure
WWD - By: Susan Watters - July 28, 2010
As Democratic darlings and Hollywood celebrities primp, preen and puff in anticipation of Chelsea Clinton’s wedding to Marc Mezvinsky on Saturday, one guest knows exactly what’s expected of her. For Isabelle Goetz, the 39-year-old French hairstylist who just bought Georgetown salon Okyo, the two-day celebration is all about making sure MOTB Hillary Rodham Clinton looks great.
“I have an idea in my mind,” Goetz says of Clinton’s hairdo for the day, adding there’s no way she will divulge the details just yet — not even to the Secretary of State herself. “No, no, no. It’s too soon now. We live day by day. Whatever it is, it will be at the spur of the moment.”
Goetz, Washington’s leading celebrity stylist who also tends the tresses of the likes of Sen. John Kerry and Queen Rania of Jordan when she’s in town, moved into her new salon June 1 and commutes from suburban Virginia on a navy blue Vespa LX. First thing most mornings, it’s parked outside Clinton’s house since one of her main claims to fame has been taking Hillary’s hair out of the headlines.
“Somehow with Isabelle, Hillary’s hair is a nonissue. She found a look that works with her where you don’t focus on…{read more below}

D.C. Confidential: The Woman Behind Hillary’s Hair
Vogue Daily - By: Christina Ha - July 30, 2010
When I rang up French-born hairstylist Isabelle Goetz on her cell phone yesterday, the poor reception made her sound as if she were talking through a kazoo. “I’m in the country!” she chirped. “I’ll move closer to the window. Can you hear me now?” When pressed for more details on her exact whereabouts, she claimed her lips were sealed—but, with a little gentle prodding, confirmed that she was indeed in upstate New York (Rhinebeck) to style her longtime client, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the mother of this summer’s most famous bride. Goetz was respectfully mum on all further wedding details (“I am mainly here for Hillary and close family” was all I could pry loose), but one project she was willing to talk about was Okyo, the Georgetown salon she recently acquired and reopened this summer. While plans are being made for a new name and even decor (“to feel more like home”), the girl from Belfort, France, is happy…{read more below}
