Editorial Review

Portrait of the artist as a dimly-lit, second-story bistro. Zealous Parisian buyer ships flea market souvenirs: cast iron chandeliers, bronze umbrella stands, Mona Lisa smiles. Sad mimes of Shaw nurse absinthe at riveted bar, find comfort in details: faux crocodile menus, black napkins like little black flags—l'addition comes in a cigar box. Ratatouille (of course), whites and reds get equal play, bona fide profiteroles. Wear low-rise Lucky jeans; strike a Toulouse-Lautrec pose in the conspicuous mirror.
