What is it about our Claudia...

from
The Paris Apartment?

Is it her knowledge of
Paris?

Could it be the Book she wrote,
or her keen Eye
&
Amazing photography skills?

Or is it her very Glamorous & Chic
Style?

Could it be
the yards & yards of vintage
Satin Silky fabrics & Mirrored furniture
she uses to put your life in the

Hollywood movie set?

Or is it the sense of Surprise

Travels to
the mOOn and back on any

I am very excited to share my story with You!
Once upon a Time...
There was a very lovely
Mademoiselle named Claudia,
at
The Paris Apartment.
One day Claudia
mentioned my website,
French Blue & Co.
on her blog~
Later, that month I checked my
site traffic on Google Analytics,
because business had picked up to an unusual speed.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw my hits!
300%
was from
The Paris Apartment Blog!
I emailed Claudia right away,
found her on the mOOn, sunbathing...
I let her know how very very powerful
she is... she didn't even know!!
She is like a magnet in the most unexplainable way!
I called my good friend Lynn at
Paris Hotel Boutique.
Together, Lynn & I can do anything!!
Between the 3 of us,
we chatted, created & chatted more...
Guess what?
Claudia is now offering
advertising on her blog!!
If you have any type of business,
and looking to promote yourself,
I highly recommend
The Paris Apartment
&
Her prices are affordable~~
I currently have my ad on her
Blog...my hits are still up
& this is my Number 1 traffic source.
Claudia is an amazing blogger, writer
&
everything else I mentioned above.
The Paris Apartment Blog is NUMBER 3
according to the
New York Times!!!
Claudia gets over 2000 hits a day
on her blog~

So... see, there is something about Claudia,
like no other...
She has a Huge Heart
&
her Blog is Alive!

Email Claudia Here
if you have any questions
or interest of having a beautiful resting place
to advertise.
You will be very happy~
Oh~~
If you figure out what it is about
Our Claudia that makes her Magic....
please let me know~
Could it be dewdrops
or
is it her mOOnbeams?

And we all lived Happily Ever After~

On HBO.. Please don't miss it!
I am going to pop some popcorn and get some
Good n' Plenty!!
Starring
Drew Berrymore as "Little Eddie"
&
Jessica Lang as "Big Eddie"

The story is of the eccentric Edith Bouvier Beale
"Big Eddie"
and her extremely eccentric daughter...
"Little Eddie"
They lived in a deteriorating Long Island mansion
called "Grey Gardens".
About a mother & daughter relationship
and how they managed to go from
Riches to Rags over years...
The dou areAunt & First Cousin to
Jackie Bouvier Kennedy

The original is a 1975 documentary photographed
and directed by two brothers
Albert & David Maysles.

Little Edie was a Beauty Queen
&
dreamed of being in the movies.
The Mother & Daughter had a very co-dependent
relationship in
high Society & Glamour...

Everything appeared so normal....

Little Eddie was creative
and had dreams of decorating.
this is her actual decorating board~

In a world all there own...

They only had each other...
and sang together....
~Tea for Two
&
Two for Tea~

the walls crumbled down around them...

Big Edie sits and looks out the window
next to a portrait oil of herself
from healthier & much wealthier days.

Original Grey Gardens House

The kitchen as they lived in it.

Saturday's Movie
&
The Original
You can buy the original documentary here!

These two Beauties are going to be Fab-U-lous!

Look how amazing she is!
Drew Berrymore will play as
Little Eddie...

She radiates!
Look at her fashion!!

And the house will be a dream to see!
One we all would love to get our
hands on~

Enjoy it every little bitty detail
of the decorating
&
the conversation.

I am a bit obsessed...
So, I want to know your thoughts
about this story....
what about the relationship?
And let me know if you see the movie!
I can't wait!!!!
