Paris in New York: The Met

 Well, finding Paris in New York is much easier than I thought–especially if you take your search to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  Today, I took an incredibly long cab ride from my hotel in SoHo to the museum–clearly I was being ripped off as the ride home took a mere 10 minutes.  The rest of […]

Desperately Seeking Paris in New York

 
 
 The Paris Traveler, that would be me, Kim, finds herself in New York.  That is always a good thing, not as good as being in Paris, but I have decided that since I need to be here I am going to seek out all things French:  restaurants, cafés and shopping and report my findings so […]

When you think about the recent divorce between French President Sarkozy and the former First Lady, things were definitely far from cosy, to say the least! What’s interesting, however, is the way the French perceive this marital seperation and the way the American public would react if an American president were to divorce his wife after […]

Arnaud Contreras & Alain Dister

A few days ago I received an e-mail from Arnaud Contreras and Alain Dister about their homage to the American writer, Jack Kerouac, who coined the term, “Beat Generation”. I was asked if I wanted to contribute something (a poem, a drawing, a song, etc.) to participate in this exhibit entitled, Memory Babe, A Tribute […]

Men’s Fashion in Paris

Antoine Daguin could be modeling down the runway in all the fashion shows here in Paris if he wanted to (and he occasionally does), but his real passion is in designing men’s fashion. If other designers are as creative as Antoine, then we have nothing to worry about! Fashion is still alive and well in […]
