Is new to me, but I liked what I read on Wiki as well as the song so I will look for it on Amazon. Maybe it is even free on prime.... It seems to be far better, then Mad Man which I somehow found boring except the cloths. <br /><br />Have a good start in the new month and a lovely Indian Summer!<br /><br />Rita<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-59564657454414786452016-08-30T20:12:24.861+02:002016-08-30T20:12:24.861+02:00Thank you, darling.

Kids always seem so much more grown up when they come back from camp, one almost needs to take a double look to be sure it's them. Amazing coincidence that the Dali exhibition went to LA the same time you were there last..time flies (should be the name of the show!) Meanwhile, DS is firmly back installed in the digital world, if only the effect of the analog world would last a little longer.

But, for me, the planning and research are half the fun and provide amusement and much welcome distraction from a ho-hum summer and a few other recent far-from-pleasant, shall we say, challenges. What can I say? I'm a planner!<br /><br />During the past few trips, I've walked past the Ritz on the Place Vendome, and it's been cleverly shrouded in it's Ritz look alike "drapery," hiding the extensive renovation that has been ongoing for the past four years. And, then I happened across this recent article in Vogue:<br /><br />http://www.vogue.com/13446877/ritz-paris-grand-opening-versailles-chanel/.<br /><br />After reading it, I decided immediately that the Chanel facial would be the crème de la crème of Paris souvenirs, no pun intended.<br /><br />And, it will provide an excellent excuse to walk in the Ritz and snoop around. After all, I'll have a legitimate reason to be there!<br /><br />I think I can forego the cocktail at the Hemingway Bar, though, Trudye (but I'll have a peek inside, of course.) The Chanel Grand Soin (great care) facial begins with a special fruity cocktail of orange, kiwi, birch and borage to relax you and your skin and ends with another concoction to assist the skin's regeneration. I think I'll be cocktailed out at that point, and my new skin might not appreciate being assaulted with alcohol! Wonder how it will feel about a macaron or two?<br /><br />I've never used much from the Chanel skincare line either, Rita, but what I'm most interested in is the fabulous technique they use - "le massage de Chanel" and, of course, the ambiance of that chic black and beige interior, complete with the coromandel screens that Mlle. Chanel so loved.<br /><br />For an hour and a-half, I expect that I will feel very chic and pampered (even one's feet get attention). It's just too bad that after those 90 minutes of bliss, I won't be able to simply take the elevator up to my suite.<br /><br />Not this trip, I'm afraid!<br /><br />All the best, Swans,<br />Jerrine<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-66148864905510695882016-08-26T13:37:42.078+02:002016-08-26T13:37:42.078+02:00OMG Jerrine, I knew I better do not google for the...OMG Jerrine, I knew I better do not google for the Chanel au Ritz Spa but .... to late now.
