Celia Daaaahling!


Look what I found at 5 Rue Henri Monnier, near Place Saint George... Isn't that cool? I found it in a store called Célia Darling (Célia is the name of the owner apparently) that sells "vintage" clothes (you know how successful they are in Paris at the moment...) Well, Célia had the clever idea of putting these animal masks on the head of her mannequins and it really catches the eyes when you walk by.

  3. To be honest, it looks like mutton dressed as lamb!

  4. Celia is a clever girl indeed! So glad to hear that vintage is in. Thank goodness—my thrift shop wardrobe will be just the thing to wear in Paris. :~}

  5. Before i read the caption, i thought it was a picture taken in a theater during a performance: the mask, the light, the background...

  6. Interesante! I had to laugh at Anon's post about the mutton dressed as a lamb, very funny. Imaginative, creative, yet somehow slightly disturbing. I don't know if it would make me want to shop there or avoid it altogether. Knowing me, probably shop there!

  10. Bonjour Eric,
    Maybe that 'Deal of the Day' should wear one! It could really entice someone looking for a country man! hehe
    Have a great day. Therese
