I came thru the making of of Kate Moss and Gaspard Ulliel advertising for Longchamp back in 2008 at Cafe de Flore, Paris.
I missed this campaign as I were living in the US that year. The campaign renders the whole Paris cliché picture with the intimate and vintage interior of Café de Flore. Look at this cup of tea. Today, you find that out only at your grandmother countryside home. Yet, it’s not the campaign itself that’s stunning. It’s more the characters.

The place to be those days in Paris is the French Open Roland Garros. I’m not in. I don’t like tennis that much to suffer at back row while my TV allows me to sit comfortably at front row.

The fashion event this year was Venus Williams’ lace dress (wait for it) ,

The model who’s doing it of course: Victoria’s Secret angel Marisa Miller.

Do you think that Harley Davidson bikers are gonna recognize themselves in the person of new Srping 2010 campaign babe? I can’t say. I’m not one. Do you think they’re gonna hit new customers? Sure!

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

The view is avenue des Champ Elys√©es, Paris 8 from the balcony of Louis Vuitton boutique’s highest floor.

Check out ghd IV hairstyler TV ad.

I woke up early saturday morning to watch Avatar at the opening of the theater. I was at Gaumont Montparnasse in Paris (by the way I’m back to Paris for 6 months… At least… I don’t know whether I should cry or enjoy. I need to explain that to you one day). Anyway, the movie is great. It really is.

Ange ou Demon Le Secret TV ad

The song in this TV ad used to haunt me for days once I heard it. ‘Je suis Ange ou Demon, mais personne ne le sait. Je suis Ange ou Demon et c’est la mon secret’ (I am an Angel or a Devil, but nobody knows it, I am an Angel or a Devil, and that is my secret)

It’s been quite some time than Ellen de Generes is teasing Oprah to appear with her on O magazine cover. Checked. They’ll hit newsstands together for December 09 issue. 2 different covers: the first for subscribers, the 2nd for newsstand buyers.

Salt trailer

The movie release is expected this summer

“I’m a racer. I just want to win the race” said the 3 times winner of NYC marathon, Paula Radcliffe. No wonder why she’s today favorite. Like every first Sunday of November and for the 40th year, NYC streets beats at the rhythm of runners’ footstep paving the macadam. This year, the bad economic outlook has made the committee rise the fee to $138 for members of the NY Road Runners, $171 for non-member, and $231 for those entering the international lottery ($13, $16$, $21 extra over 2008 edition). Yeah, that’s a lot of money to have the privilege to throw up your heart and soul after 42.195 km (about 26 miles).

NYC marathon 2008. It's like they're flying. Paula Radcliffe, first on this pic, averaged 12.5 mph (20 km/h). Can you believe that? 

“Fame is nice. But it deprives you from a lot of of stuffs” said Brigitte Bardot to Gala a popular French magazine. Bardot has been the first french actress/ fashion model/ singer, to draw international attention. She terminated her career in 1973 and is since an animal rights activist. She turned 75 on Sep 28th.

Lingerie Football Ligue

Have you known about Lingerie Football League? It’s an indoor women’s in lingerie football game. They play 7-on-7 tackle football games. They sport helmets, shoulder pads, elbow pads, knee pads, sports bras, and shorts. The team’s name are Dallas Desire, Philadelphia Passion, Tampa breeze, New York Majesty or Seattle Mist. Sexxxxxy, isn’t it? I am a lover of true athletic bodies. Guys or girls, it doesn’t matter. The ones that take care of themselves with an appropriate gym AND diet regimen. Some of those girls get a damned toned body with muscular legs and crazy abs. Note to myself: attending one game while in the US. Orange and blue uniform is clearly more flattering than green and blue one.

Washington D.C. was still sleeping when the Nobel Prize committee released the news. Are you kidding? The Nobel Peace Prize 2009 awarded to Barack Obama for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people”! Seriously? Is that a joke? And Michelle Obama has incredible sense of fashion as well? What does the committee think about Nicolas Sarkozy, Angela Merkel or Grodon Brown to name a few? Yes, they pamper bilateral relationships with countries they trade with. It’s part of the job.
