Pariserinnen haben eine ganz bestimmten Chic, einen bestimmten Charme, eine bestimmte Ausstrahlung - woran liegt das? Das Buch "How to be Parisian wherever you are" von Anne Berest u.a. versucht dem auf den Grund zu gehen.
Hier einige Zitate daraus - nehmt es Euch zu Herzen!
“Parisiennes aren’t privy to a secret “skinny” gene, they aren’t always easy to be with, and aren’t all perfect mothers. In fact, they are very imperfect, vague, unreliable, and full of paradoxes. But they can also be funny, attentive, curious, and ironic and they know how to enjoy life (...) they want to become the best possible version of themselves, outside and in, at any age."
“In short, you’re not a slave to the cult of the perfect body – so learn to make the best of what nature gave you.”
“Go to the theater, to museums, and to concerts as often as possible; it gives you a healthy glow.”
“She doesn't have a ring on each finger, or a big diamond on each ring. She doesn't wear a gold watch that costs as much as a fancy car. In fact, she doesn't own a fancy car. She doesn't carry an enormous designer bag. But she might have a newspaper under her arm. She might mention Sartre or Foucault in a conversation. It's her personality that sparkles and nothing else: the signs of intellectual wealth.”
