As a wedding planner in Paris, I can’t tell you how many requests I get from panicky grooms-to-be looking for help on proposing to their bride-to-be at the top of the Eiffel Tower. One thing that I like to advise these guys is that a proposal, like amour, isn’t just about the payoff. 1 Pretty [...]
The Dominique Strauss-Kahn scandal may be turned into a movie. That is – a porn movie. There is, however, a hitch: The company that plans to make the movie doesn’t have any money. It is appealing for investors. The company is My Porn Production (what else?) and it needs €200,000. That is $276,000 / £172,000. [...]
I love to dance but I don’t like earsplitting music and have never seen the point of standing in line to be looked over by what, in France, are called physionomistes. They’re the guys whose job it is to make sure a club has a good mix of people, preferably with lots of pretty, stylish [...]
I have some new neighbors in the hood. A young couple that have obviously never had a “vis-a-vis” (neighbors that can see into their windows). How do I know this you may ask? WELL. Let me explain. Not to put too fine a point on it, I’ve seen them regularly making out on the bed, [...]

The French equivalent of Daily Candy, the girly site and daily newsletter on little-known restaurants, shops, spas, services, and cultural institutions, has just published a book of its greatest hits—in English. My Little Paris: The Best Kept [...]
My upstairs neighbors are moving, and I’m so sad. They’re the only people in the building I really felt were kindred spirits. They are buying a movie star’s apartment in central Paris. The eldest is an aspiring actress, a pretty girl who speaks perfect English, has excellent credentials and had both talent and the support [...]
It all started when Mr. Potato Thief tried to chat me up by asking me whether he should order fries. As a potato-lover, I scoffed at him and responded affirmatively with a resounding, “OF COURSE.” Mr. Potato Thief ultimately opted out of fries, citing the fact that he was “on a diet.” Again, I scoffed at [...]
The other night I caught a glimpse of some of the most entertaining dance moves I’ve seen in a long time. Picture this combination of all the following dance moves, performed simultaneously… BY ONE GUY… Index finger dancing : This is when you stick your index fingers out, point up to the ceiling, and pump [...]
