Messages on Paris Daily P...Wednesday, May 12, 2009<br /><br />Messages on Paris Daily Photo ~ <br />You could say I fell in love in Paris. <br /><br />I want to thank Eric for not deleting messages I have been leaving on his site. You may have noticed them under comments over the last ten months. These message were written for a very special man that I am in love with that visits this site. Now I know you may all get a kick out of this. Undoubtedly you will make a game of trying to guess who this mystery man is. I will tell you now he a real gentlemen . He will not be the one claiming these message were for him. Paris Daily Photo is a lovely website and wonderful place to fall in love. As we all know love is not always easy and you can not make someone stay in love with you. It is a choice that the heart makes or does not make. Having my heart broken in Paris seems oh so just and right. C'est la vie. Again, I want to thank Eric as only a true Frenchmen can understand love. Since this is my last visit to PDP, please indulge me this final message. I will love you forever S. {KOTL} <br />Au revoir ~ ZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-23234817542016889912008-07-21T06:29:00.000+02:002008-07-21T06:29:00.000+02:00We're used to seeing slightly more solemn faced Ga...We're used to seeing slightly more solemn faced Gandhi statues.... so I especially like his smile out here!Shantaramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18175992199727107267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-63026323134058759742008-07-19T08:03:00.000+02:002008-07-19T08:03:00.000+02:00Hmmm, interesting to come across a bust of Gandhi ...Hmmm, interesting to come across a bust of Gandhi in a Paris restaurant!Roshinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03472888714059386518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-53152160892541183522008-07-19T00:21:00.000+02:002008-07-19T00:21:00.000+02:00Tomate,"Sometimes you're the statue, sometimes you...Tomate,<BR/>"Sometimes you're the statue, sometimes your the pigeon [ostrich]."

It's been there for years, really! :) <BR/><BR/>http://sanfrancisco.about.com/od/photogalleries/ig/Photo-Tour--Public-Art-SOMA/Gandhi-Statue.htm<BR/><BR/>You should go down there when they have farmers' market (on Tuesday, I think) and then go through the Ferry Building and check it out. If you haven't seen the Ferry Building since it's reopening a couple of years ago, then you're in for a treat!Tomate Farciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102741033638005250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-37584270840522199962008-07-18T23:16:00.000+02:002008-07-18T23:16:00.000+02:00Jeff, The Chihuly piece at the Legion of Honor was...Jeff, The Chihuly piece at the Legion of Honor was just put there recently. I don't know if it is staying. It might be an extension of the DeYoung exhibit. Or maybe the Legion of Honor bought it. I know that when a museum shows an artist (who is living) they are expected to purchase at least one piece. The DeYoung and the Legion of Honor are affilliated.<BR/><BR/>I have never seen a statue or bust of Gandhi in my life. I have never seen a sculpture with glasses on (for that matter). When I first saw Eric's photo. I started laughing, and I said to myself "now what is he up to?" ;-)Lois Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147226104566786852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-24973039875821566262008-07-18T22:36:00.000+02:002008-07-18T22:36:00.000+02:00Lois, I recognized the Chihuly, I was just remarki...Lois, I recognized the Chihuly, I was just remarking on the similarity to ours. (We just have the one piece, Tomate). I don't remember seeing it at the Legion of Honor. I saw a really nice 'Monet at Normandy' exhibit there in 2006. I liked the museum, particularly "Le Penseur" in front and the miniature studies for the Burghers of Calais. Didn't see any Gandhi pieces, though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-31234582350929545272008-07-18T22:27:00.000+02:002008-07-18T22:27:00.000+02:00Jeff, That is a Chihuly piece in the photo.

And as Tomate said, there is a Chihuly exhibit right now at the DeYoung Art Museum in San Francisco. In November there is going to be a YSL show at the DeYoung. I have free VIP guest passes to the opening for whomever wants to go. Katie for sure is going -- she already said so.<BR/><BR/>Tomate, that is a beautiful jacket. FYI, if you will notice in the photo, not much room for your bust. So if you are a "C" or "D" -- it will not fit. The photo is exactly how it fits.Lois Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147226104566786852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-52674007126605984872008-07-18T22:12:00.000+02:002008-07-18T22:12:00.000+02:00OK, here we go, I was looking for the link.Tell me...OK, here we go, I was looking for the link.<BR/><BR/>Tell me this is not a BEAUTIFUL GARMENT (I like the lighter brown myself):<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://www.artizara.com/Vinatge-Velvet-Embroidered-Jacket-p/az041013.htm<BR/><BR/>And it's washable!Tomate Farciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102741033638005250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-10058433112288007562008-07-18T22:07:00.000+02:002008-07-18T22:07:00.000+02:00You have a Chihuly exhibit in Minneapolis now?

It's almost identical to the Chihuly piece at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.<BR/><BR/>By the way, still searching for people to meet in Chicago during the jazz festival. Lunch at the Chicago Art Institute courtyard cafe, anyone? Wine with Sonny Rollins? Where's that David guy? I'm pursuing whirled peas, here, people, and I like the atmosphere in Chicago.

When I placed my first order with her (and all subsequent orders), she would call me on the phone and go over everything I ordered. She gives it a personal touch. That is how we became friends. We started talking, and one thing lead to another. And before I knew it we were talking about Paris, and my boyfriends, and her two little boys, etc. All of her fashions are reasonably priced. I love her necklaces -- they are awesome -- arabic writing is so beautiful.<BR/><BR/>Coltrane, "...radiant orb..." You make me laugh.

As I ranted about the "oppressive" aspect of the burka, here you flip that around and address the "fashionable" aspect of it. That's why we all love you Lois.

I went to an Indian wedding recently and wore a salwar kameez. So beautiful and comfortable and forgiving! I've said that when my slowing metabolism finally comes to a complete halt (any day now probably), I'm adopting this type of dress exclusively.

Her website is in $US as she lives in San Diego, California. Her (Islamic) models are beautiful; not what is represented in the news.<BR/><BR/>Katie, Yes, her fashions are interesting. There is so much detail. I bought several things when my daughter was in Iraq. I wanted to fit in "fashion wise". I brought a few tunics to Paris. I wore a pink and silver tunic one night when I went to a friend's cafe in Paris. She really liked it -- she said, "you're classy".<BR/><BR/>Petrea, Thank you. When I look at Eric's photo of the day -- it always brings something to mind. As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words".
