Short-Term Rentals Versus B&Bs
bed_and_breakfastQuestion: Thank you for your May newsletter about the endorsement of the B&B industry by the Paris City Hall. This has of course stirred up quite a lot of interest and questions/doubts.

fashionOK I have eventually succumbed to writing about fashion.  It is too difficult a subject to ignore when living in Paris and we all know that fashion plays a big part in the attraction of LA VIE PARISIENNE, and don’t we love it.

dont_ask_dont_tellPeter Moskos wrote in an article, “"Law or no law, standards of professional conduct demand that military personnel avoid asking about, talking about or flaunting sexual orientation." Yes, yes, I already know the argument’s coming: ‘But a straight military man can have his wife drop him off at work and kiss him goodbye. A gay man couldn’t have his partner drop him off and kiss him goodbye or hold his hand in public without it being perceived as unprofessional just because he’s gay.’

Combing for a Black Hair Salon in Paris

 

hair

When it comes to getting my hair done I, like most African Americans I know, need it. It's not like we are addicted to it (or maybe we are), but we want and need our hair to look "right". When I first moved to Paris over ten years ago, that was one of my first missions: finding a good hair salon that did black hair, specifically African-American hair. I had just moved from New York City and I had been spoiled!
