Hi Barbara and Essa:
(I used to get an email notification every time there was activity in a conversation I was involved with on FAN and now I don't--wonder why?)
This thread brought back a funny memory: Years ago, I was at the salon with the tiny…
Thanks, Essa, for the support. I really don't know why they have those giant mirrors. Even if you are not someone who has been tormented about your size, you are not going to look good with sopping wet hair. Also, why does the mirror have to show yo…
Barbara - I feel for you. I do not like sitting in front of that huge mirror with my little wet head on my big body. I feel the same as you when these things happen, wherever they happen - huge and small at the same time. The worst treatment I ever…
Merci, Kathleen!
I am currently living in the 15th, but between Suffren and rue de fed. My children go to school at EAB-JM, on rue du Theatre. My French sucks, though I am taking classes. I used to be semi-fluent in Italian, which, of course, helps…
Thanks Vivienne,
I know. I have been relieved, though, to see some larger french women in my neighbourhood, probably because it is not a very chic one. Still, I keep wondering where they get their clothing. Further, as an added bonus, having paid s…
What a horrible experience! I use to go to a one person salon with the smocks that didn't fit and it did not once occur to me to refuse to put it on! Until right now! Reading this post!
One of the things that I dislike about traveling is that I am…
Hi, I don't know where else to talk about this, so here I am. I am in Paris for a year because my husband is on Sabbatical. There is more to the story, but suffice to say that I have never been all that interested in France or Paris in particular. I…
Yeah, it is a website, sweeties. And I am with you in thinking that many spouses who have "let themselves go" are tortured and created by people who are supposed to and have said that they do, love them.
No doubt I am not alone in this, but I had a…
What can I say? What a load of old s**t. My spouse is famous for his torn clothing, scruffy appearance, and (to say the least) odd fashion sense. Often, he lets his hair grow out until it sticks out of his head sideways. Naturally tall and lanky, he…
The best thing to do if that happens is to let me know. I will either email them and ask them to stop or ban them. I have tried my best to make it clear that isn't what we are about, but I guess it is inevitable. Thanks!
