This model is being described in a book of the spaniard novelist Maxim Huerta. The books name is UNA TIENDA EN PARÍS (A SHOP IN PARIS). It tells a lovely story about a spaniard painter, a woman, moving to Paris, learning to live there. I recommend you to read it if it is already translated into English.<br />The real shop described in the book is called AMOR and it is located in the rue du Pont Louis Phillippe, near the Seine river..<br />Regards with my admiration from Spain.<br /><br />MaribelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-46830617351668568882013-11-09T14:49:49.297-05:002013-11-09T14:49:49.297-05:00Carol,

We of course also thought of you --and Bear -- as we traversed our favorite city and all its delights. If you are aware of any Brassai books from the exhibit, could you reply to this post?<br />Merci beaucoup and meilleurs voeux!<br />Patricia and Eric, MinneapolisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-76120799195241684812013-11-09T14:42:47.532-05:002013-11-09T14:42:47.532-05:00The French know how to honour their artists.

Decades later their voices and melodies are still inside my mind. She gave teenage girls the following advice:<br />If your toes don't curl with the man you're with like they do when you hear Montand growl out a lyric he's the wrong guy. Piaf's regretting nothing was radical advice for the times. I modified it to regret what I have done, not what I haven't done. Still following my advice!<br />Very inspired last photo to close this one. Wonderful!<br />XOXO,<br />VickiVickinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-38812133540647963682013-11-09T14:32:09.033-05:002013-11-09T14:32:09.033-05:00Piaf et Brassai - what a fabulous posting!

How amusing to have been entertained recently on the R train by a gentleman playing light jazzy tunes on the accordion, even singing a bit.
