Your taste of life in Paris and France
ParlerParis.com
Monday, June 7, 2010 • Paris, France
Last week this little cardboard mailer appeared in the mailbox with no visible sender other than "Panty by Post" on the return address. At first I thought it was a surprise from a sweetheart, but sheepishly he admitted not.
Inside the little folded envelope was a pair of green satiny panties with black ribbon lacing them up each side -- very feminine and pretty. What a nice surprise...no matter who had sent them!
"I think it's because, of course, French women wear lingerie like a staple (unlike North Americans who wear it for a special occasion), but as you know, good lingerie is so pricey in France! So, I think the French women want their lovely lingerie, without the big price tag attached. And of course, the romance of receiving a delicious surprise in the mail :-). For any Expats who have visited France (or live there part-time), they can continue to get their French romance 'fix' with this service."
This isn't just a one-off purchase for many of their customers, who subscribe to "A Panty of the Month Club!" Wouldn't you simply love to have a little surprise in your mailbox every month so that yes, even you can "make the postman blush?!"
Gentleman, take note. Change the way North Americans think about lingerie. Put aside the flowers and the chocolates. Just go online to pantybypost.com, set up a monthly surprise, and watch your love life improve instantly! (Even though 'he' hadn't sent them, rest assured they did not go unnoticed!)

Also as part of the study, Paris was considered the "Most Over-Rated," the "Least Friendly" and having the "Best Cuisine." (Read the results at tripadvisor.co.uk)
Americans were not included in this survey. After seeing "Sex in the City 2" last night amid a filled theater, I wondered how they would have faired. The film was every bit as bad as expected to be, if not more so. Within the first few moments, it went from bad taste to outright offensive. As a film that is designed to be a showcase for women's fashion, let's hope none of it actually lands on the streets of Paris! Let's also hope the example of these four women of the worst kind of behavior in someone else's land doesn't become a trend for future Americans traveling here.

"ACTION" by Sam Shepard --
"It is a sterling success in that it very craftily conjures up questions, thoughts, and feelings about this whole notion of activity - its place, its presence (or lack of), its handling by characters in staged theater. It is less than successful in that it clouds and diminishes the very images and effects it aims to create by virtue of its tendency to go nowhere. In Action, the audience views/experiences two men and two women responding to events and situations people deal with in everyday life. Some of this activity is trite, almost stale; some of it is anything but. Shepard's familiar use of image, momentum, nowness, shock and disconnectedness are all present and very well accounted for."
