I had the privilege to visit Mademoiselle Chanel’s apartment at Rue Cambon, Paris above the principal luxury store. I was glad to make it. Though the store and fitting room are known, the apartment itself is hardly opened to mass.

Once is not usual, yesterday I watched Basic Instinct, the first one, on TV. (I’m rather an Internet person, spending my evenings with my mac).

I realized that I barely remind what it was about. Ok, ok I remember that Sharon Stone drives Michael Douglas crazy mad after her. Thats the story doesn’t really wrap up and that there’s still questions

This photo exhibition of nomad population have been exposed on the barriers of Jardin du Luxembourg. The pics drove me so far away from Paris.

Marion Cotillard breaks out the French screen as Lilly, the sexy & fresh girlfriend of Sami Naceri in Taxi, a French film written by Luc Besson, and directed by Gerard Pires, of cops and cars in the streets of Marseille, a harbour city of Southern France. I was completing high school. I was dreaming that like Lilly’s boyfriend (Marion’s character) mine was half-gangster, half-sweatheart.
Time has gone since. She won an Academy Award for her leading role in La Vie en Rose. From the 4th sexy girlfriend role, she has became a powerful name in France. And it seems she’s making one in Hollywood. The shoot above is by photographer Ruven Afanador for Citizen K International.

I guess anyone has missed that the Costume Institute Gala Benefit held its 2010 edition last Monday at the MET.
Here is my review of the outfits.

I’m quite in awe with tulips.

It’s not a flower we get in the Caribbean. I remember I made one with plaster at 6 for mom’s day while my classmates favored roses. The first time I held one for real, I guess I was 18.
There are a lot these days in Paris. The bigger they are, the more I like them.

They do not last long unfortunately.
