Backstage


I already told you about my friend Silvia who gave up a secure career in the corporate world to become what she really felt like: being a comedian. Well, last evening I went to the premiere of her first one woman show at the Théâtre Bô Saint Martinwhich was a real success. I was lucky enough to share the very last moments before she got on stage and since I had my camera, I took a few shots! Here is one of them, that I particularly like. Sorry if it's a bit of a personal post, but I really admire her for pursuing her dreams. Besides it IS a Paris photo!

  7. Absolutely, no need to apologize! Judging from the comments above, people in fact very much enjoy such personal posts that show a different aspect of Paris and Parisiens!
    What an inspiring thing your friend Sylvie did and it is so refreshing to hear such stories of individuals following their dreams and not feeling into the mold!
    It takes a great deal of courage and passion to do so!

  10. I wish for everyone to have their dream careers! Or get as close to them as they can.. Now I wish pdp had threads so we could go on there and discuss about what we like and what we like to moan about when it comes to our jobs.. :p

  11. Silvia will never regret her choice. She may change her mind, but she will always be glad she gave it a try. You never know if you don't try. I'm sure she'll be a success!
