Cutest campaign ever!

Do you remember how all the cool kids at school had Petit Miam yoghurt's? Do you remember how yummy they were and how you'd sulk and scream if your parents didn't by them? No? Well by god I certainly do. Advertisers take note : Food + Super Cute Kid w a European flair = BEST CAMPAIGN EVER.

Petit Miam, at 21, I still heart you! xxxx

French by Osmosis

I had many grand ideas when I moved to Portland. I was going to become more independent, I was going to live in my own apartment, collect hobbies, learn a new language, ride my bike, wear beautiful shoes and meet fabulous people. Well it's coming up to a year since I moved here.... and I only have one more thing to check off the list.....

I really intended to take French classes, I did. I chose French because I like the way it sounds, I like the way my friend Margaux says 'cool' and the word sounds like it means.... stylish, interesting and well, cool. So whilst I haven't enrolled in classes quite yet, I have initiated French Fridays. On Fridays I listen to nothing but French music.... thanks to Pandora and a lot of Myspace browsing I can absorb sultry, smoky French sounds the entire day and eventually... maybe I will begin to learn French pronunciation by osmosis.

Tonight I'm capping off a wonderful French Friday going to see French-born Tuscon-based Marianne Dissard play at the Someday Lounge here in Portland.
