French Women Don't and Do..

0 comments Posted by pece at 5:18 AM

More hot tips today on how the French Fem does it PBers...

In Paris last month, I spotted Jamie Cat Callan's book, French Women Don't Sleep Alone at W.H.Smith's and took note.

I met charmer Jamie at a Champagne party for francophile bloggers last January...

Now I'm enthralled with her book - a kind of memoire-report on Frenchie fem dos and don'ts. The intro focuses on the influence of Jamie's French grandmere. Always dressed to perfection - hat, gloves, stockings, high heels, Grandmere was quite demanding of Jamie.
A bit of a cool cucumber too...

Yet Jamie's French grandmother, in her hay day was a vaudville dancer and singer not unlike writer, Colette! How do you like them pommes/apples?

Jamie's book is full of anacdotal tips she picked up while living and traveling in France on how French women do it.
How they get their man!
Certainment lingerie plays an important role in the seduction process. I remember French Girl dragging me down to Printemp's new lingerie department. She was practically drooling over the goodies.
I was very ho-hum.
Give me a good patisserie like Blé Sucré anyday.

I do get the lingerie look worn on the outside - pale pink ruffles paired with a biker-Michael Jackson leather jacket...

But going into Chantal Thomass' grand emporium of ultra fine scraps of chiffon I've yet to conquer...

I'm probably too American, too puritanical or too something. I refuse to shell out buckets of euros on a couple of triangles unless it's for a chausson au pomme.

Miam-miam

Back to Jamie's book - evidently a surefire winner with les mecs/guys is the combo of boots and skirt and I have the photos to prove it.
Jamie says, the French girl does not date.

She throws a dinner party instead.

Mon dieu!

Where are my cookbooks?

Love this French couple in the Palais-Royal don't you?

Guess what?

W.H.Smith thinks Jamie is FAB.

They've invited her to Paris to promote the new SATC 2!
Quelle lucky duck!

Must start wearing boots and skirts...
Must learn to love lingerie...

Must, must, must start cooking!

Key$a says it all in Boots N boys

Boots and boys (Boots and boys)
They bring me so much joy (Bring me joy)
I gotta sing it
I wear 'em both so pretty
As I walk in the city

BONJOUR BOOTS N BOYS!!

Looking For Alice...

0 comments Posted by pece at 4:56 AM

" You're terribly late you know...Naughty!" said The Mad Hatter.

I am terribly late catching up with Alice.
And I was late for Tim Burton's MOMA show - next to last day!

I asked, "Where are the Alice drawings?"
"There aren't any", they said,"Too current."
"Oh..."but I did find this wonderful Tim Burton doodle on a scrap of newsprint.

And I found The dasterly Red Queen in the catalog...

Off to see Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland.
I planned to stay an hour, take a quick snooze...

Instead I was enthralled and enchanted.
J'adore Alice! Mia Wasikowska is perfect.
She has a lovely luminosity and an inner something or other that grabs you and does not let go. When the Mad Hatter tells Alice,
"You're not the same as you were before.
You were much more..."muchier"
You've lost your "muchness"
You find yourself rooting for Alice to find her muchness...

And she does.
Like Jeanne d'Arc, she slays the dragon and comes out so much stronger.
Girls rule!

To channel your inner Alice, you'll need to hightail it over to the new Anthropologie at Chelsea Market. They've got the best Alice Blue headbands...

And "Alice" pinneys in all colors and prints.

How thoughtful of Anthro to provide man-sized comfy armchairs.
While your beau naps, you can scurry around...

Gathering up antique silver sugar shakers for your Mad Hatter's Tea party.

Heavens, just buy the whole table intact and you're set!

Mad Hatter: Would you like a little more tea?
Alice: Well, I haven't had any yet, so I can't very well take more.
March Hare: Ah, you mean you can't very well take less.
Mad Hatter: Yes. You can always take more than nothing.

I'm certain Alice slept here. I wanted too...

What will you serve at your tea party?
You could wait on the endless lines around the corner at the new Magnolia Bakeries springing up...

Better yet, get your paws on David Lebovitz' utterly delicious new cookbook, Ready For Dessert. You'll be drooling over every picture by superb photographer, Maren Caruso. Even an idiot non-baker like me can make these recipes the way David has set them up. David lives in Paris, so there are quite a few French desserts.

So what if you drip chocolate icing on your new pinney.

That's what pinneys are for are they not?

Mark your calendars, Alice-obsessed PBers.

You're invited to attend the tea party at Rizzoli's bookstore this Sunday, May 2 on West 57th street.

With scones for all, kids included, to commemorate the birthday of the real-life Alice and celebrate The Real Alice in Wonderland book.

ALICE JE T'AIME!!!
