Spring is beginning to unfold in Paris . Tiny leaves thrust from their buds on the vine outside my door, and pose themselves in stages of unfurling. I can see only a few from where I'm sitting now, but I...

A great season of exhibitions is upon us. It is a coming together of beautiful minds being offered up to the citizens and visitors of Paris....There are beautiful brains in all professions--people who see a light at the end of their individual tunnels, and don't let others prevent them from getting there.

While Paris Fashion Week was gearing up and its participants were sharpening their stilettos (though hold the presses for the Big New Flash about that: According to a Reuters article, "buyers and designers at Paris fashion week are declaring the end of the celebrity cult." Has Hell frozen over?), I was hurrying down the street to meet my arty friend Louise. For those in the know: Louise has put up a new show at her chic Atelier 7. You don't want to miss it.

Synchronicity has recently been drawing me to the rue Saint-Honoré. Isn't it fantastic when life works that way? When we let ourselves be open enough to follow the leads that come from natural serendipity or a twist of spontaneous fate--when...

Well, My Little Paris doesn't know me. I have happily been to plenty of psychics, healers, and other sensory advanced and aware individuals, in the city and in the country, which some would call the middle of nowhere--though none of them wore turbans or clinky rings. (But wouldn't it be sort of divine if they did?)

Yes, I had to return to the scene of the aesthetic at the Galerie Vero-Dodat (pictured on right) in Paris's 1st Arrondissement. The images were too good--too luscious in art and style to keep from you. (If you happened to...
