Geek-shame

J'ai honte de l'avouer mais :
#1 J'ai un jour commandé des "patchs minceur" en répondant à un spam dans mon email. Résultat j'ai découvert que l'échantillon gratuit était en fait suivit d'un abonnement mensuel à vie pour recevoir chaque mois les indispensables patchs minceur.
#2 Je continue d'ouvrir les spams "vous êtes l'heureux gagnant de ..." en me disant : on se sait jamais.
#3 Je joue à l'euromillion sur françaisedesjeux.com
#4 Je me suis faite avoir en achetant des chaussures Louboutin sur ebay qui se sont avérées être des fausses (je vous passe la visite de la honte à la boutique Louboutin pour obtenir un "certificat de faux" et porter plainte contre le vendeur).

C'est petites choses horripilantes

Je ne sais pas vous, mais moi, ça me rend nerveuse:
#1 filer mon collant
#2 lorsque dans des toilettes publics le sèche main souffle un petit vent faiblard et froid
#3 les musiques d'attente téléphonique
#4 lorsque le metro ferme ses portes sous mon nez
#5 la vendeuse qui me harcèle derrière le rideau de la cabine d'essayage pour savoir si "tout va bien?"
#6 les gens qui tapotent leur blackberry/iPhone en permanence
#7 les bulles de chewing-gum
#8 internet qui rame
#9 les doubleurs dans les files d'attente
#10 lorsque la personne devant moi à la boulangerie prend le dernier croissant

Women, here comes some difficult times

It has started! The "I don't know what to do for you to notice me" season has started. Ladies, let me brief you quickly on the coming months of transparence you are about to live. First starts soft, with Roland Garros... since not all men are unconditionals of tennis, you still have your chances; though forget about that picnic you planned to do with your loved one on the days of 1/4, semi and final. I'm still wondering how come every year most men suddently become "tennis rules my life" but anyway, the worst is just about to come : THE FOOTBALL WORLD CUP!
World cup is a very challenging time for women; as much as we try, it's not that we don't like football, it's just that we don't care. When the world cup starts, it's not just about eating (look at the lovely pictures of the football teams in your cereal pack), drinking (is there any bottle of anything that decided to not advertise about the world cup???) and breathing the world cup; it becomes the time that you are officialy a minor presence in the vision field of the male. World cup is this lovely time that your sweetheart becomes a drunk primate whose vocabulary gets suddently reduced to onomatopoeia. Several tecnics have been experience in the past:
- the sexy one :"Honey I'm naked under your football team shirt";
- the blackmail : "Honey if you decide to watch this game we go on hollidays 3 weeks with my mum"
- the compromise : "Honey, I agree that we go watch the game but I bring all my gym-class girlfriends"
Sorry to break the news : None of them work!
Finally in case you are anxious about the end of the world cup, be aware that there is always the "tour de France" that comes to kill your hopes!

This year, In order to survive and to pretend that we kind of understand something about what's going on, I suggest you girls to follow the advice of Raymond Domenech here.

I like it!

Ma fashion obsession: La ballerine

Sans doute des années de danse classique ont elles quelque chose à voir dans tout ça... ou pas. A mon sens la ballerine est un concentré de génie à la fois esthétique (même si vous avez les pieds de Victoria Beckham la ballerine vous ira à merveille), pratique (si comme moi vous avez un travail normal - actrice ou top model n'étant pas des job "normaux"- vous avez probablement du vous rendre à l'évidence, travailler en talon est une véritable torture digne de l'inquisition espagnole), ultra flexible (citez moi un seul vêtement qui n'aille pas avec une paire de ballerine?), et dans une certaine mesure plutôt bon marché.

Mes préférées:
#1 la collection Reva de Tory Burch


#2 la BB de Repetto

#3  la ballerines en cuir verni bicolore Chanel

La glandeuse, trop dur de bosser!

Il y a peu je vous faisais remarquer à quel point les vendeuses dans les magasins parisiens sont agréables, enthousiastes et toujours prètes à vous rendre service. Cette vidéo est à peine caricaturale! Welcome to Paris!

Funny advertising

Have you seen this commercial before? I have a confession to make here...
Like most women, sometime in the month my level of hormons is up to the roof. This has for consequences that I look at every baby in the street with a dummy face, generally followed by a cheesy face to my boyfriend and a "honey, this baby is soooooooooo cute, do you think we could make one like this?". Because my boyfriend is a very wise man he showed me this video; so I know what to think about when I have my urges for reproduction.
Offense non taken.

Fly me to the moon

First of all I wanted to post a brief note regarding my blog. It's been now some weeks that I started to write about different sort of things and I really would like to make this place as much interactive as possible. By this I mean that I would like you to feel free to participate with your comments when you got interested or amusted by one of my post. Please share with me your reactions, make your own tops or complete mines, make suggestions...
It is hard to keep the pace of posting on a regular basis. All the contribution you can make is what makes this blog a place you will like to go spend some time evry day!

And now here comes a top that I was thinking about today: dream hollidays trips. I guess I spend way to much time at work making plans for cool trips I'd like to do, so the least I could do was to share it with you!

#1 Take the trans-siberian train and go until Mongolia
#2 Make a road trip in a vintage car in the western states of the USA (kind of Thelma & Louise style but without the jump at the end)
#3 Japan, I NEED to go there very soon!
#4 Go chase the Auroras in Iceland
#5 Explore South America (kind of Ernesto Guevara style, but I'm not a huge fan of the motorcycle thing; so would probably take buses...)
#6 Mauritania- Mali- Burkina Faso
#7 Go back to Australia and go see this big red desert montain thing
#8 Lebanon, it looks like such a tiny country but with so many beautiful things to see (and amazing food!)
#9 Wine tasting in the french vineyards
#10 Explore India in trains (I love trains and India is definitely the ultimate destination for train lovers)
