February 02, 2005 9:43 AM- the shopping savant

T, darling simple boy that he is, often refers to me as a "shopping savant." Though I know the truth, I allow his delusion because in our neck of the woods there is no one I can point to that would explain that, though sweet, his concept is terribly, terribly provincial and extremement faux. Oh so faux.

Voila the shopping savant! Ma cousine. La belle Coquette.

Could I be any more jealous? Hmm, let me think about that. I suppose if she had run into Sophia Coppola while trying on the jeans and ended up handing off a script to Sophia . . yeah, I guess there's margin for additional green ooze . . but NOT MUCH. Putain!

got 2 cents?

Oh, BP, haven't we *discussed* the not hating me thing? P.S. I forgot to mention the part of my story where I ran into Sophia Coppola, thanks for reminding me.

Coquette says:
P.P.S. Next time you come to Paris can we go shopping together? I am very good at spending other people's money.

I read La Coquette's entry, and am ashamed to say that I didn't understand a bloody word. No offence meant to the lady; I am a clothing Philistine. My fashion sense, when I can be bothered to have one, automatically gravitates to 1991.

I'm with pastamasta, though I don't think I have a fashion sense that can be attributed to any time at all unless there was a great period of graham cracker stained sweatpants. In which case, I'm so totally there.

Now I want to chuck everything and go live in Paris. Not for the fashion because I am no shopping savant, but so I can have an apartment with an uneven, spirally, 16th century staircase.

not surprisingly, i have amazing taste in fashion. right now i'm wearing two paul smith dress shirts, three dior sweaters, two pairs of pants, and fruit of the loom undies on the outside. it's all about layering people. also, tuck your necktie into your pants; i'm told this is tres chic.

I HAD some fashion sense, and still do sometimes, but at the moment-- I've lost almost 80 pounds since June and am stuck between sizes and can find NOTHING that fits correctly. So I've kinda given up until I reach my goal weight. so INSTEAD, to try to hang with the "cool girls" I will say nice things about dear BP in french- Joli petit pavot! Vous etes merveilleux de chaque maniere! Tout mon amour, Bellabelly

Yes, I'm part french. Yes, I took french in college. Yes, I used the "english to french" online translator.

Unfortunately, my four years of French classes and a summer living in Paris have all been reduced through a consistent effort of alcohol consumption to one word: merde.

Thank goodness she didn't buy shoes that trip, or I would really have to hate her. ;)
