Haute Couture at age 6 1/2...
...the twins slept this morning until the phone rang with a call from from Christian. "Rendez-vous au Palais Royal a 10h."
So, finally we were up and out before noon and on our way to see "On aura tout vu" and their Haute Couture show under the shade trees of the Palais. Christian wrangled us seats in the front row, Zelda made friends with the DJ and got the show's mix of music and we enjoyed every minute of the short production. Women with elaborate headresses, men dressed as centaurs, and even a dog on the runway. Creed's swag included a black and silver fan by Caron who sponsored the show. We made a run for the Jean Paul Gaultier show but were too late. BUT, the icing on the cake came this evening when I met our next door neighbours: Matt, is a photographer from Toronto, his lovely friend is Andej Pejic - the infamous, stunning and captivating boy/girl model who walked for Gaultier today and Tracy who designs eyewear for Linda Farrow. They loved Creed and Zelda and vice versa.
We were busy hosting our tribe on our terrasse for the 4th of July - hamburgers, Freedom fries, cupcakes topped with American flags and plenty of French wine...our fete followed a day of couture, buying a new phone card, replacing Zelda's sunglasses and Creed's hats that were stolen by braving the sales "Les Soldes" at H & M, the kids au Parc Villeman, and lovely afternoon cocktails at the cafe Beaubourg. What ever will I do when work begins?
