ABC Wednesday—I is for inimitable**

**though many have tried—and also for "I miss Eric!"
 (seen here shooting his lunch at Circonstances, 
a great Paris restaurant, last September).
This would have been the 10th anniversary of his 
inoubliable (unforgettable) blog, Paris Daily Photo, the
very first of the genre and the one that inspired me
(and sooo many others) to start blogging.
Eric put up his final PDP post last New Year's Eve.
As much as I miss my daily dose of Paris as seen through
the eyes (and pen) of this "friendly Parisian,"
I so admire Eric for making a bold move and wish him 
wonderful new adventures on his sunny island!

Congrats to Eric!

In honor of the 5th anniversary of Paris Daily Photo

(the original and still the best daily photo blog!)

today, here's a shot taken from the "famous Tenin

perspective."  We all know it's not easy to keep it

up all the time, and I really, really hope PDP keeps

marchin' on for a very long time!  Merci bien, Eric . . .

Happy Birthday, Eric!

Eric of Paris Daily Photo (aka our hero and the

man who invented the daily photo blog) is

having a big birthday today. In his honor, I've

chosen a photo taken from "the famous Tenin

perspective." Eric, this is the road that leads to

the rest of your life—see how long and straight

and free of obstacles it is! Merci bien for your

inspiration and your friendship. Have a very bon

anniversaire and many many more, mon capitain!

for the PDP gang

I've been found out (by phx-cdg), so I might 

as well go public. Yes, I've been a busy girl.

But I have to say that although I've always been a

sucker for a good philosopher, Rousseau 

is a bit before my time.

 Pascal Guldemann dates to 

my fashionista phase.

And Belmondo—alors, what can I say?

As for Jacques Chirac—power is quite an aphrodisiac. 

 Seriously, that phx-cdg is a real PDP loyalist.

And she's also VERY sneaky—I love that about her!

And I'm proud to be GF for 2009!

I won!

What? A trip to Paris?  No, I snagged

the title of GF (Golden Finger) of the year

by being the first to log on tonight to my

fave blog and the one that inspired me

to do this, Paris Daily Photo.  Whether you

love Paris or not (and especially

 if you do), it's the very best.
