Graff.. Paris Boutique
GRAFF the name, powerful, unique, conjures visions of magnificent splendour: the twelve carat emeralds, brilliant cut diamonds, fabulous sapphires, all are breathtaking.
“Les diamants Graff sont éternels”.. the heart does skip a beat.
The dripping with glamour Graff boutique, which opened its tall doors recently in Paris, is prestigiously located in rue Saint-Honoré and the corner of the rue de Castiglione, a heartbeat away from the most romantic, of the “Love in the Afternoon” fame, The Ritz, the historically-drenched hotel located in the beautiful Place Vendôme…

I have been told that I existed in Japan many lifetimes ago, that may be the reason for my great fascination with the country, my longing.. that does not dwindle nor abate…

Jean-Christophe Maillot’s.. Le Lac
A warm feeling, a mood, an exhilaration enveloped me while watching enthralled.. Les Ballets de Monte Carlo’s “Le Lac”, brilliantly choreographed by Jean-Christophe Maillot.
It has been so long since that charming feeling, uplifting sensation, that devours the soul, when one’s senses are allowed to celebrate, instead of denigrate.
Maillot and his dramatist collaborator, Jean Rouaud, forged a superb contemporary version of the legendary “Swan Lake” ballet by Tchaïkovski…
