Bonjour, Tinsel Town!

Yes, Parisian Charm School is coming to Los Angeles!

Please tell your SoCal friends that I will be speaking at DIESEL, A Book Store on Sunday Feb. 25th at 3 p.m. 

And if you live in the L.A., well, please come to Brentwood to see me, mes amis!

We'll have a wine tasting, scarf draping demonstrations and lots of surprises!

Oh, and by the way, this is a photo of me from back in the days when I had red hair and worked at Paramount Pictures for Meg Ryan. 

And I'm here to tell you that Meg was so sweet and completely adorable!!!  Back then, she was in the middle of shooting "Sleepless in Seattle" with Tom Hanks and everyone knew her at America's Sweetheart!

Those were thrilling days to be at Paramount and I felt so happy working for Meg.  She was kind and gentle, and sweet and not-at-all-Hollywood.  In fact, she was a Connecticut girl, just like me and little out of step with Tinsel Town.  Perhaps that's why we both ended up back on the East Coast.

Oh, and did I mention?!  She's also a total Francophile!  Yes, there was the delightful film "French Kiss". But also, she's set to star in a brand new TV series called "Picture Paris."  I can't wait!!!

J'adore Meg!

And dear friends--hope to see you in L.A.!!!!
