Rue Des Plaisirs

Imagine a trip back in time to Paris in the 1930's...just for today! Mingle with artists, crash parties, and enjoy the countless sensual pleasures to be had...window shopping, glamorous mannequins modeling the latest fashions, good food, smoke and drink... opium dens, cabarets, prostitutes and party girls!


And while you're there, listen to some chansons by the chanteurs et chanteuses popular at the time...like Charles Trenet, Mistinguett, Josephine Baker, Edith Piaf, Jean Sablon...and of course, the ubiquitous Accordéoniste!


Follow me to the Rue Des Plaisirs...

Les Amies

















These très charmant depictions of Parisian girlfriends are titillating, to say the least...and I love the soft colors!
