Day Four



Ca m'enerve!
Tonight is the much awaited Paris reunion party. Earlier this summer I participated in a Paris study abroad program to learn the architecture (and macarons!) of Paris, in addition to various Le Corbusier buildings! So tonight (last free weekend before school starts) we will get together for a premature nostalgia fest. It will feature my carrot cake with marzipan carrots. The Ca m'enerve purse was inspired by the number one song in Paris sung by Helmut Fritz. He sings about all of the status trends that piss him off- ie. He hates girls who have bangs "a la Kate Moss." This song is so true to our time- commercial luxury. In other words we want what everyone can have (materialism) and we love to hate it. My ca m'enerve purse says "bee frenchy/frenchy bee" on one side and "ca m'enerve" on the other. It also features a cell phone pocket garnished with a half-leaf of artificial lettuce (an homage to the Roman Arenes de Lutece in the Paris 5ieme Arrondissment- which was cut in half to accomodate the Parisian urban fabric). I also included a close up of my new inspirational material- candy-apple green metalic leather- can't wait!
