So...it's official. France has no idea what month it is. The sun has been shining all weekend and things seem to be taking a positive turn for me so I'm not complaining :) although knowing my luck saying that will jinx my 'chance' so far.
The car tire finally got fixed but not by F and I, the mechanic had to come and do it, it was just impossible to get the tire off! So pleased about that as now at least one of us can drive it to the garage. Then yesterday I met Rachel in Le Marais, we wondered around it for hours and I managed to buy a vintage jumper for 5 euros (below). It was a good day :)
I love Le Marais, I literally could stay there all day and not get bored. However you do have to be careful of some of the...specialist shops. Rachel and I thought we stumbled across a cute kitchy shop full of goodies, it was only after I thought nipple gems were wall decorations and Rach opened them to see naked boobs that we started to clock on. After that it was like my eyes finally opened and I took in the whole of the shop surrounding us. I immediately spotted a "sex for over 40s book," tease me, touch me, feel me etc written on the tops of the walls and then practically stumbled into a whole wall of dildos. It was very funny don't get me wrong
but our naiveity made me laugh...we didn't even realise where we were!
The laughs just rolled on after that...we finally found the 'Gay' bakery. I think it is easier for a picture to explain this...penis bread, penis brioche, penis viennoiseries - you name it they had it. I literally love Le Marias. Rach and I also witnessed a crazy guy who was dressed in a bright pink bomber jacket and matching trousers. I was trying to get a picture but I wasn't stealth enough.
Rachel and I also came across a vintage shop we hadn't found before, it had some
new stuff in but my favourite things were the Beatles/Joy Divison/Clockwork Orange tees. Really wanted to buy one but they weren't cheap and they didn't have a men's small so gave it a miss unfortunately. They also had the old school american bomber jackets; the american football team ones? Wish they were still in fashion ha. Best thing about the shop though had to be that the changing rooms. They were London red telephone boxes...there were about six of them, god knows how they got them here and fit them in the shop but however they managed it...the effect was worth it. Check it out >>>
Anyway....the sun is shining so I am going to get off my blog and go for a run and then later I am heading to Le Marais again...but for a different reason this time. I might tell you later...if you're lucky. Peace and love bloggers x
