Fairy lights wrap around a tree in Los Angeles

‘Tis the Season

Lifestyle
As many of our friends come from different cultures, in LA we celebrate all of the holiday customs with fierce enthusiasm. In our house it’s one huge smorgasbord of Christmas trees and Hanukkah candles, tofu meatloaves and turkey roasts. We have our wreathed doors shut against the occasional draft. We are grateful when it goes dark and we can pretend it’s winter. The celebrations come hot on the heels of Halloween and Thanksgiving. I know it happens every year...

If you can’t do it in high heels I’m not interested

Lifestyle
I absolutely love the holidays. They totally validate my endless appetite for dressing up and shaking a tail feather, something to be indulged all year round, but in the festive season there are so many more opportunities to boogie. I love a party so much that if there isn’t a social occasion I’ll throw one just for me. I pour a glass of Sancerre, turn on the music (Stones) and bop. This often involves use of my mini trampoline....

A Low Brow Post

Lifestyle
One of my favorite things in the entire world is sleeping. I could sleep on a washing line. Nine straight hours is an absolute prerequisite and believe me, you do not want to be the person who disturbs my nocturnal hours. You’ve no idea what your subconscious is going to throw at you while you’re asleep and the thrilling part of dreaming is that you’re directing your own movie with a limitless budget. You can go technicolor, with a...

Amazon Best Sellers in French Literature

Career
Amazon as we all know is a colossus in the book market and their sales ranking is pretty much the only indicator that your book is selling. Even though I am aware that the lists are changed every two hours, I have been known to check them at two minute intervals, constantly pressing ‘refresh’ hoping the universe has delivered a miracle and that overnight I’ve sold enough copies to retire to Provence. You can imagine my delight then when...

Miami

Lifestyle•Travel
When you start to look like your passport photo, it’s time to go home – Erma Bombeck I’m exhausted. After three weeks in London I’m now in Miami. I know this is a first world problem, but being on the road plays havoc with your metabolism and does absolutely nothing for your hair. Travel is overrated, unless of course you’re in Paris and preferably in the 1940’s. Other writers turn their journeys into best selling books, they eat, pray...

Becoming a Fabulous Radio Personality

Career
My outfit is ready. I’m thinking the lacy tights, the little black dress and a single row of pearls. Hair in a topknot of course and perhaps a flash of Chanel rouge lipstick. It’s vital to get it right. The first interview is at 8.20am Monday morning so a glass of Sancerre is out of the question. I shall be sipping café au lait. Tres Chic, Ines would be proud. I’ve spent the last week in what I can...

The (Almost) Book Signing

Career
Casually strolling around Barnes and Noble yesterday, well okay, frantically dashing around Barnes and Noble yesterday in search of the ‘New Releases’ table, I finally located an array of freshly minted novels only to discover a distinct absence of Letter From Paris. I immediately approached an assistant and announced myself as the author of said tome, enquiring as to its whereabouts. “A hundred and fifty of your stores are promoting my book this month.” I said, trying to keep...

A Red Letter Day

Career•Lifestyle
Trawling the web this morning for letter-themed inspiration, I stumbled on a little known fact; the first recorded handwritten letter was written by Persian Queen Atossa around 500BC. Now I might win a pub quiz armed with this information, but come on Handwritingletters.com, I want more. How did this come about? Did the queen wake up one morning and think ‘this is so important I must commit sharpened stick to papyrus and invent a whole new form of communication?’...

Paris is Always a Good Idea

Career
“Paris is always a good idea” – Audrey Hepburn. So the countdown begins… I know you’ve been marking the days too. I see you’ve advanced ordered Letter From Paris. Thank you. I’m sure you can’t wait to receive your copy when the book is published next Tuesday. Yes – NEXT Tuesday June 10th… try to be patient for just a few more days. You may have noticed from recent blogs that I was getting frustrated with this whole social...

How to have Orgasmic Sex with Strangers

Lifestyle
A producer friend of mine has invited me to an orgasmic meditation demonstration by Nicole Daedone on Friday night. I live in LA and keen as I am to dispel myths and misrepresentations and to defend this beautiful city of ours, I must mention that in all my years living in England this kind of invitation was never forthcoming. Unfamiliar with the term and intrigued, I embarked on some research. A quick Google takes you straight to a video...
