My mother really likes Meryl Streep, so she had me borrow The Devil Wears
Prada, which, if you haven't seen it yet, you must.
Giselle Bundchen and Heidi Klum are both in it.
Also, they mention the names of all the designers that you often post about,
but most amusingly, the event that Fashion Man posted about with the hat
hair. Although they didn't show any shots of hat hair, they did mention it
and I immediately recognized it.
They feature Paris and do a nice job of the fashion industry as well as the
city itself.
But, before they get to Paris, there's a fashion shoot just about in the
middle of the movie, where a particular model is wearing exactly the color
scheme I now love. It's a bold scarlet dress with a small triangular green
belt.
Gorgeous.
Yes, but I don't know if it was this particular event or a similarly titled
on elsewhere. It's a common theme. In fashion, fundraising, and so on.
Below is an article related to fashion somewhat and definitely to Paris.

Up in smoke
Sacre bleu! The secret behind French women's svelte figures turns out be
a real drag.
So now we know the real reason why French women don't get fat and
American gals continue to grow into Yankee Doodle doozies.
Forget all that stuff about sipping leek soup and learning to enjoy the
brie-filled moments in life, dictated to us (rather haughtily, I might
add) in the best-selling diet book French Women Don't Get Fat.
Say au revoirto the notion that our big behinds are connected to a
low-brow addiction to Big Macs and Little Debbies, while their sleek
silhouettes come from a refined appreciation of chic cuisine.
C'est pas vrai. It just ain't so.
According to several critics of the popular French diet book, plus a
group of scientists who have done actual research and most of my close
personal friends, much of the mystery behind the French physique is
nothing but smoke.
As in cigarettes.
A study done in 2004 by college professors in Georgia, New York and
Pennsylvania says at least 20 percent of America's obesity is due to
people quitting smoking. (Yes, the other 80 percent is connected to junk
food, little exercise, and overall bad living, but let's not digress.)
Sandwich that bit of scientific information with the fact that,
according to the Centers for Disease Control, 34 percent of French women
smoke, compared with 19 percent in the United States.
Voila! The French paradox is solved.
It's not the wine. It's not the daily strolls along the Champs Elys
