… I love looking into the lives of fellow ex-pats in Paris and Miss Rachel Khoo is no exception. I’ve written about her before when she was running the smallest restaurant in Paris from her tiny studio apartment. But since then, Rachel has gone leaps and bounds. Although her little kitchen is now closed to [...]
I love the voice of the interviewer Edward R Murrow. Funny how he asks Fidel if he’s worried at all about the communist influence in Cuba to which Castro responds, “Oh, I no worry.”
The Literati: A Tale of Three Cities When I need my fix of Britishness in Paris, I don’t look much further than these guys… Hosts of a buzzing book club with cocktails and dancing all night at places you can’t normally talk your way into, this group of bright young things dart between London, Paris [...]
I‘m not sure I’ve heard her right when Lana Del Rey begins singing the lyrics to the chorus of her forthcoming single, “Born to Die”. ‘Take a walk on the wild side; let me f**k you hard in the pouring rain …” Eyes widened, I immediately look around at the audience to see if anyone [...]
God this woman is good at looking like a 1960s pin-up/ trailer park fantasy. Lana Del Rey graces the new cover of Wonderland magazine this month, making me want to grab my curling iron, buy a cream turtle neck and recline in a tacky garden chair on a fluffy retro carpet. While Lana-mania continues to [...]
The Bad Meet Peter Dundas, artistic direction for Emilio Pucci who possibly gave the most obnoxious interview in media history for last Sunday’s fashion edition of the Financial Time’s magazine How to Spend it (granted, an equally obnoxious magazine in its own right). I’ve provided excerpts from his Q&A piece (pictured above) along with conclusive [...]

Easy reading today folks. Call me creepy– actually, don’t call me that please, but I spent a strange amount of time on the internet yesterday looking at old photographs of famous people from the 60s and 70s. That era is just so darn cool I just couldn’t help but find another excuse to blog about [...]
I know I go on a lot about Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin– if I’m not attempting something feminine and Bardot-iste one day, I’m probably alternating in something boyish and Birkin-esque instead. It has occurred to me however, that living in France, I’m teetering very close to the edge of sounding cliché if I can’t come [...]
