Sorry for the radio silence but a lot has happened recently and life seems to be a bit of whirlwind at the moment, full of instabilities, turbulence and unpredictable twists and turns! Yet last weekend was one of the best weekends I had in a while so I wanted to share with you how I ended up going to Paris on a whim and feeling utterly alive again! It was Friday and me and a colleague and dear friend, we were both suffering from a broken heart you see, decided to escape to gay Paris for a weekend of fun and frolic, after going through a brief list of fun activities to distract ourselves. A few hours later and after recruiting another friend, we were on the road! Battling through snowy Brussels (yes, the first snow this winter season found us on the highway trying to escape our often a bit too gloomy city) with an excellent soundtrack to go along with our elevated spirits we embarked on a sweet adventure! On the road this became our song....
Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now
Or, darling, have you started feeling old yet
Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts
With the efficiency that only youth can harness...
And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there
Or have somebody's good-night kisses got that covered
Le Marais (my favorite neighborhood in Paris! also known as the neighborhood of the gay Jew) opened its arms and embraced us by offering ample nourishment, alcohol and lovely people to mark our arrival! We wondered and got lost and saw Diane Arbus's amazingly haunting photos and met John Galliano and tasted the greenest of teas and Paris was a dream and it made us smile!
GAY JEW
Our Parisian door
What bread looks like in the Marais
Our pet for a night
