oh la la

it's fashion week in paris! i don't really care, but i do have a little story to share with you. will and i were taking a stroll in the tuilerie gardens when we came across the giant white tents with all the runways in them and display areas. as we got on the metro, i noticed this really cute petite woman struggling to get her bag through the turnstyle. so like the natural gentleman i am, i went over and helped her. she thanked me in probably the most adorable british accent. she was also very surprised that i spoke english and asked me what i'm doing in paris, how i like it, and such. i asked her the same. she told me she was only here for the day and that she absolutely loves it and is super jealous that i am here a whole semester. she also told me she was in paris for the fashion week to model handbags. i don't really remember for whom or even what her name is, but i did make it a point to ask how to get into the shows. she said, "all you have to do is ask to volunteer, if they have room for you, you get in for free." score.

cheers, jhabra
