Paris, France
Bonsoir from gaie Paris. I had yet another magnificent day in the most romantic city in the world. Tonight I am silent in my little poetic Parisian room, while outside Paris is still wildly awake! At 4am the motorcycles roar, the cars honk madly, the people scream and laugh . . . In the room next door the shutters moan, opening then slamming shut again in the wind. Zut alors! How can I possibly sleep?
This morning I visited the gorgeous home of Victor Hugo in the Place des Vosges (serious wallpaper envy!) where I took some excellently creepy Miserables photos. Next I had a lovely lunch followed by minor amounts of high-quality shopping. Then it was time to head back to the hotel for an interview with Blues Magazine journalist Frankie Bluesy Pfeiffer. Also met with Eric Coubard, head of Bad Reputation label that’s releasing my album in Europe this month! After une petite café we were joined by photographer Williams B and I prepared for my honest to goddess Parisian photo shoot in the streets! All the photos look amazing from what little I saw and can’t wait to see more . . . hopefully I will post soon. Tomorrow X-roads journalist and pal Alex Cecilia is taking me to the Solidays festival somewhere beyond the Bois de Boulogne . . . I have ancient memories of that place from childhood. Should be une grande aventure! Home via the friendly skies will come sooner than I like. Had planned to head down to Barlcelona to visit my brilliant flamenco dance teacher Renata but Air France wanted to charge me $4000 to change my ticket! *&^%! Think I will be heading to Spain some other time . . . Autumn sounds perfectly lovely to me.
