Leeks

It occurs to GGCM that we mentioned Wales today. So if the full moon awakened you, & inexplicably you are looking at a computer screen, here's a petite video from Mireille G. Did you know that there was a leek shortage in the States after French Women Don't Get Fat was published? I know! Americans are nothing if not enthusiastic.

Now go to bed!

Scarf Chic, la première partie

A little fashion relief for a messy world.

GG's editor is just sick at the nastiness she's hearing from the non-illustrious Rudi G. on a podium tonight. Take it from GG Central: don't listen to hate. Hate makes people into complete idiots.

The scarf at top is from Paris & was a gift to GG's editor from a friend's great aunt; she bought it herself in Paris in the late 1940s. GG's editor wore it several times a week with her jeans & one of about three sweaters when she was a student in Strasbourg. (Everyone wore jeans, mostly.) Sometimes, she wore it atop her head as she pedalled home near the Rhine--past flocks of really angry geese. Flying on her vélo, sometimes one or both ballerinas (shoes, not dancers:) also went flying. (It was Strasbourg, so she didn't blame those geese a bit for their peevishness, perhaps knowing their gruesome fate.)

Bonne nuit, bisou, baci, xoxo, GG

PS: Dreams of Hermes....pourquoi pas? Just one?!

Leeks: The Magical Vegetable

This morning, GG & her editor will be making a vichyssoise, among other things, for a light early supper with our friend BB. Here's a cute video by Mireille Guiliano that we'll play while we chop the leeks. But remember: friends don't let cat-friends eat leeks...they don't mix!

xoxo, GG & her editor

Little Black Dress tips from MG via GG

We couldn't resist a reminder that an LBD, some pearls (fake or otherwise), & a big smile are all you need to look fabulous!
