Paname Ensemble welcomes La Coquette, our first Blog de la Semaine. A few q & a's with Blogger Elisabeth Fourmont...

Who are you? A Franco-American (raised in America) living in Paris.

What is your favorite thing to do in Paris? There are so many. My newest favorite thing is to see a good nouvelle vague film at Cinéma Le Champo on rue des Ecoles. I also like walking along the Seine at sunset and eating macarons and steak tartare (not together, don't worry).

When did you start your blog? I began in earnest in October of 2004, when I quit working at a fashion magazine here.
Where do you blog from? The 5th.

Why blog? Creating a narrative for my humiliations is therapeutic. And there is no shortage of humiliation when you are a foreigner. Also, I blog to get hot dates. That approach is a little less efficient.

How many other blogs do you read? Which ones? I read dozens of blogs daily. My favorites are listed on my sidebar, but my ultimate favorite is written by a recovering Mormon living in Utah. She blogs at www.dooce.com. I also really like a blog called Imaginary Socialite, www.imaginarysocialite.com, which reminds me what life could be like if I were a magazine editor/ hipster in New York. (Parties, sample sales, photo shoots.) I'm happy with my quiet life in Paris, but her blog is a fun escape.

Anything else we should know about your blog?I am really a man.
