Joyeux Dimanche - French New Wave

Shaboom sends us her update from Paris, France :

I read THIS article the other day about the influence of French fashion & film, and I thought I'd share it with you.

I may have Paris, but all of you have the wonders of TARGET!

Joyeux Dimanche - Let's Go Streaking!

Shaboom sends us her update from Paris, France :

I read THIS article the other day and I thought I'd share a video with you from Etam, a French clothing company.

The Etam marketing team thought it would be a fun marketing idea to send a guerilla group of models (and a film crew) into open spaces to surprise/shock the public dressed only in lingerie. The representatives at the Musée d'Orsay were less than pleased when the girls teased their visiting art afficionados, claiming the group had no permission to film in the museum. The entire gang was thrown out into the cold without their coats.

Joyeux Dimanche!

Joyeux Dimanche - Le Bon Marché

Shaboom sends us her post from Paris, France:



It's chaos all over Paris. That's right, it's Christmas shopping season and this is the final weekend for last-minute shoppers. I personally hate crowds and usually get most of my shopping done before September (no, I'm not neurotic... or a control freak. I swear! I leave that to Karen.)

As I'm traveling to Scandinavia for the holidays, I have to go buy a few semi-fresh French specialties before I go(for which I had to wait until the last minute,) so I am forced into the craziness. Wish me luck as I battle the sardine-can crowds on the Metro and the intense beret-wearing, baguette-wielding, brutal fight-you-till-death little old ladies at Le Bon Marché! (PS - I almost got arrested once for trying to take photos inside this joint. No photography allowed. PPS - This is where all the nuns shop and I'm a little obsessed with catching them in their "natural habitat." PPPS - I don't know if the nuns have any relation to why I'm not allowed to take pictures in there.)



I wish internet shopping was easier in this country and that international shipping didn't break the bank!



Joyeux Dimanche!

Joyeux Dimanche - The French Open

It's finally here! The last day of the French Open or Roland Garros (the French have to give things their own name.)

Today, Shaboom's dad, the tennis coach, will be glued to his television screen watching the action. (Love you, Dad!) Shaboom lives just minutes away from the stadium and yet will not be present to watch the match but will be paying homage to Federer in her own way... by visiting his native Switzerland.

Who are you rooting for? Federer or Nadal?
