3rd Anniversary for ParisPointGriset...

... with 448 posts and 27595 visits since February 2007.
and yesterday, as a present, this :


For some reason, in a couple of days, my counter has gone crazy with your visits and went,
from an average of 50-60 per day, up to almost 300.
The main target was an old post from December 2008, relating a movie broadcasted by Arte
about the Japanese art of Shibari. For the first time, visitors were mostly French, which is even
more surprising since the film is French and was aired on a French TV channel.
If I still don't understand the reasons of this sudden passion for the Shibari, I sure enjoy the results.
Merci, Danke, Thanks, Bedankt, شكرا لك, Obrigado, ありがとうございました, Grazie and
Gracias to you all, whether you are a PPG's Friend, a Follower, a Passerby or... just an Alien.


No red candles, no flowers this year, I got better in my feline bag... some chouquettes
à la crême fouettée (cream puffs), my French version of north Italy's "bignè alla panna
montata" !

Soirée baroque in an Eiffel building

As announced two days ago...




... tonight at the Mulliez gallery* :

2 musicians and 2 dancers unveiled, if necessary, the splendor and beauty
of the Baroque amusette in some unusual and offbeat way...

... a surprising combination of the accordion (Michel Glasko) - an eminently
popular instrument and an effective alternative to the Baroque basso continuo
- with the embroidery of the flute and tenor vocals (Jean-Christophe Hurtaud).

Flora Sans and Caroline Ducrest performed this eve some court & theater
dances' solos and duets, mostly based on Baroque choreography, written
two hundred years ago by the dancing masters Pécour, Feuillet, l'Abbé.

The Baroque dance notation was published by Raul-Auger Feuillet
in 1700 and allows us today to rediscover the original choreography.
