It was about now

roisins

baguette

While in NY is 3.25

here its time to bed (verb).

Bed – never more appreciated.

Learning lessons:

1. People travel. Alone.

With eurostars – eurorails and ryanairs.

With nikeairs

which are getting worn out.

They pay just to see views from above

and when back home

they will wash their clothes twice.

They have deadlines

and uncealed accounts

with themselves.

Other lie

others dont.

2. French People run. A lot.

Jogging across

pink sunsets

with their dogs

their kids

their ipods.

3. French Kids are ok.

They spit the vowels out

while eating nutella

with their fingers.

4. French Women are normal.

Period.

5. French Men are not French.

They are from New Zealand, from Australia,

from Canada,

from Kongo.

But one thing they do.

Is the style.

Well.

While,

Smoking arrogantly.

Louis Vuittons – Evian – All Star

lv

L'eau

Died and went to heaven.

People breathe with macbookbros, iphones, aurevoirs and croissants.

You grab breakfast with people from Chile like

a well-adjusted norm.

You hang out with strangers and get lost in the metro

with a secure feeling that you’re going the right way.

Mademoiselles walk on converses and carry empty louis vuittons,

monsieurs resemble Beau Brummel

& kids return home from school fetching baguettes

for the family meal.

You wash your face with borrowed Fructis shampoo

and having trouble sleeping the first night

- your mind had just exploded from vanity -

you speak a french-english mix

with a greek accent.

And for getting the picture,

you havent taken a single picture at all.

A bientot.

Front Row

0203

01

Front Row (Software): media center software for Apple’s Macintosh computers and AppleTV

Front Row (Radio): a radio programme broadcast on BBC Radio 4

Front Row (Catwalk): a science – fiction odd.

 

What amount of style can fit in one outfit?

(A girl, a boy and a front row)

As seen at the Oscar de la Rentas the first,

disguises to a post-modern coquette 

and plays foolishly with the lens.

The boy just hopped out of a Franz Ferdinand’s cover.

(already booked his seat for the show at L’Opera)

As for m,

i will be probably bringing my baby panton 

to the shows – mingling among the crowd.

 

But for now,

farewelling, pa-ni-cking, folding

are just far high on the list.

Ponysteps & Jet streams.

 

I am placing my bets.

While greek tunes reach dangerous decibells,

i am buying time and re-selling it

Eat me!

alice

Olivier Theyskens for Alice – Vodianova –  in Wonderland

miu miu

Miu Miu – Take a – bow hairband

Soon her eye fell on a little glass box

that was lying under the table: she opened it,

and found in it a very small cake, on which the words

`EAT ME’

were beautifully marked in currants.

`Well, I’ll eat it,’ said Alice,

`and if it makes me grow larger,

I can reach the key;

and if it makes me grow smaller,

I can creep under the door;

so either way I’ll get into the garden,

and I don’t care which happens!’

Everything’s got a moral, all you have to do is find it.

Dreams

in Freud’s view

were all forms of “wish-fulfillment”

 attempts by the unconscious

to resolve a conflict of some sort

whether something recent

or something from the recessess of the past.

In some cases

the unconcious

identifies the concious.

A Private Laboratory (by Rsie architects) somewhere in Paris,

closely resembling conceptualités

from my intimate future.

*Lost in Paris*

Indeed.

A green facade blooming from 

glass – handmade – beakers

for bacterial culture

camouflages private experiments

with the use of private data,

concerning the technical info.

Like a green cocoon,

in a courtyard.

Like the green outfit from 

Lanvin PF09

part of a whole

that is at least

Moving.
