 Legendary American singer and songwriter Stevie Wonder set the stage on fire Saturday night (March 6) with a performance at the Victoire de la Musique 2010 (one of France’s biggest music events). I personally could not stop dancing and neither could the people in the audience. Wonder was in town to receive France's highest honor for artists, becoming a Commander of the National Order of Arts and Letters. Established in the 1950s, the award was created to recognize those who have contributed significantly to the arts in France and around the world.

 Madame is back from her extended vacation ladies, so continue sending us your love letters and we'll be sure she gets them!
Dear Madame,
My honey forgot Valentine's Day. He said he didn't buy me anything based on principle, that its too commericalized and that every day is Valentine's Day for him. I thought that sounded sweet, but then again, I am a girl and I wanted something...even a home made card. Should I be angry?
Signed,
Wondering in the 16th

 The first fish therapy center, located near the Pantheon, has opened up in Paris. This is where you go to have small fish exfoliate your feet. I’m not kidding! Your fish therapy consists of letting your feet be surrounded by um... fish... followed up with massage therapy and a pedicure. Hmmm….any takers? Believe it or not but these centers already exist in Asia (believable) and America (they must be in be LA). The lady at the accueil assured me that the fish involved are not piranhas (I’m still traumatized by the 1978 film).
