Had a few surprises on the way to and in Paris :)
Bumped into Henry Holland on our Eurostar!
Clearly I don't make a very good Paprazzi but I really didn't want to come off COMPLETELY stalkerish.
Even though I did start shaking with excitement at the fact that we were going to be on the same Eurostar as him. And we did sit near him whilst waiting to board... and I walked in front of him when we got in to Gare du Nord in Paris. Love.
I sadly didn't have the guts to talk to him. I felt stupid because I was wearing his boots and I felt like a complete and utter gay. Tbqh.
I regret it now but hey. I always fear people are just going to be really rude to me.
It's the whole meeting your idols thing and them being rude to you which makes you dislike them. Don't want to ruin my view of him. Not saying he's horribe, just that he might not like me.
Although thanks to Grazia magazine on the Eurostar he watches Will and Grace (and has the boxset) just like me. Destiny!
Anyway... Paris!
It was so good to step back on to Parisian soil. Oh it's like coming home. Hearing the french talking all around me, seeing the french buildings, smelling the usual smell of roasting chestnuts on every corner, reminds me of Christmas times when my parents used to take me up to Paris to see the windows in Printemps and Galerie Lafayette. The memories came flooding back! Going in to Monoprix and remembering Mum buying me my first sunglasses of choice which had three little cats along the arms. Finding metro tickets in all the pockets of my clothes, remembering how angry Mum used to get when I forgot they were in my pockets and after washing my clothes finding them all crumpled up and smushed in the pockets.
It also reminded me of how rusty my french is getting! But brought a few words back to me.
We only spent three days in Paris but it felt like a week. We did so much!
My favourite part? (Not just seeing Henry Holland on the train)
Seeing Karl Lagerfeld walk into Chanel on Rue Cambon!
Even if it was just the back of his head. I don't care. It's made my day!
Next year I am sitting outside Chanel forever just to see his face!
Anyway I am crazy tired right now.
Think I might watch a film before bed time. Hopefully post some Paris photos tomorrow.
The black and white films will have to wait to be developed.
Au revoir!
