Maitresse,Lauren Elkin says I "visually trope". I figuratively jump from subject to subject finding connections. Friends say I'm "scatter brained". The French call it Sauté du coq à l'âne. Lauren is a writer, critic, blogger, scholar, the author of, Flâneuse, Women Who Walk the City.
I love the details at Payard Patisserie. Look down and see tea cups ☕️ on the floor. Look up and see molded croissants in the ceiling.
I was early and a ordered Mint tea and waited...enfin Maitress arrived
We laid our cards on the table. Our MOO Cards! Hers are all Venice. Mine are all macarons
Maitresse/Lauren drank Earl Grey. She's in New York from Paris for just a few days.
