Things you might see on the street

Ummm, oooooookay...

Things you might find in my bedroom

Now don't get all excited from the title, you cheeky little monkeys (honestly, what filthy minds you all have - mercy!) - it just occurred to me that although I have written about Furry Man-Whore before ("Tails" of romance from the city of love), I haven't really shown you what he looks like up close, and I thought I'd post a couple of photos so you know what I'm talking about when I refer to him. 

Oh, all right, I'm a crappy liar - here's the real reason:  I've been pretty consistent about posting recently and I am trying to keep my momentum going, but I just have nothing whatsoever to write about today, so I am using the technique of posting cute kitty-cat pictures to distract you from that fact.  Don't judge me!  I feel so cheap... sob!  (Unless, of course, the technique worked, in which case...woo hoo!)

"Yeah, baby - c'mon over here and gimme some looove..."

"That's right, I'm a furry man-whore, and this is just how we roll..."

Favourite Paris photos - 21

And the reason this is one of my faves?  Because it's the top of the Tour St Jacques, and I can see it from my living room window - how freakin' cool is that?

Okay, I was not aware of the fact that Barbie has obviously moved to Paris - did anyone else know this??

Things you might see in a shop

So there I was, innocently strolling around near the Hotel de Crillon, minding my own business, when I suddenly happened upon this window display.  My goodness, those nice people at Lanvin certainly are  saucy little monkeys, aren't they?   Mercy!  Mind you, it's good advertising - if that's the effect their clothes inspire, maybe I need a new outfit...  Hee!!! 

Things you might see on the street

Only in Paris would you find a full glass of champagne just sitting on the street for no reason whatsoever.  It was about a block from any bars or restaurants, there were no stores or galleries nearby having an event that night, so there's really no logical reason why anyone would leave a full glass of champagne on this particular spot.  But, you know, it's Paris...

Totally crap outfit of the week

Okay, just because I am horribly disfigured at the moment, did you really think I would let you down by not keeping track of the fashion crimes on the streets of Paris?   Admittedly, I have been shunning human contact as much as possible; I had to go to the office on Monday, but other than there, my sunglasses have been firmly in place anytime I have gone out this week - from riding the Metro to buying groceries, my shades have not left my face when I've been out in public.   Yes, that's right, I'm that idiot - Indoor Sunglasses Wearer.  Gah!!  Well, at least that's better than subjecting the good citizens of Paris to Ol' Eye-bald...

Anyway, the point is that I've been hiding at home for most of this week, which is a damn shame because the weather has been beautiful.  Fortunately, my apartment has a teeny-tiny balcony (so I've been able to enjoy the sunshine) and my camera has a long lens (so I've been able to enjoy people-watching).  And even though I was way up on the 5th floor, I could hardly miss this fashion monstrosity.  Hell, this little ensemble is probably visible from space.  In fact, aliens might have been on their way to Earth, seen this from a billion light years away, and turned right back around and gone home again. Because going by this outfit, there's clearly no intelligent life on this planet...
