10:00 We are already in a Parisian neighborhood that the French call the golden triangle. Champs Elysees, Porte Maillot, Avenue Georges V and Montaigne, you will find all the stores of the greatest fashion designers in the world but also high-end fabrics, big watches, luxury watches, luxury pens ... The paradise for empty your bank account in less than a day at hand when you visit Paris. We came in taxis, so as not to have problems to park and we are place Vendome. We know a small part of this neighborhood but not enough. The last time, we were staying in the northeast of this area when we met my young fashion designer and this time we will try to deviate to the southwest, but there are too many streets and the area to cover is too big for to be able to do everything in one day. Our goal is not really to buy but to visit, so we will come back and continue this tour on another trip. Place Vendôme where brands such as Boucheron, Piaget, Cartier, Rolex ... meet and are located just below and beside rue Saint Honoré and rue Cambon where there are brands such as Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel etc ... The staff at the hotel, told us to pay close attention to our handbag because the cases of kart jacking, robbery with violence, snatching, or the pick pickpockets are very numerous. He also warned us not to take money out of this neighborhood, as tickets and credit cards tend to disappear. The police make constant rounds in this district but what the man of the reception calls the (bandits) appear to be very numerous and especially well organized. I do not think that I will be attacked with mastiff 1,2-3 and 4 who will be close to me, but I will not withdraw money. We walk quietly looking at the buildings because they are very beautiful but we also notice something else. Of course, there are tourists like us who look everywhere and smile but the atmosphere of this street at the moment is less pleasant than the street in which we were two and a half weeks ago. Here people are proud and do not smile. It is not alive, nor very friendly. Let's forget these snobs and see what we came for. I see a beautiful women's watch that I like a lot and then I see what is displayed next, 22 500 €. ?????? How many? Shit she is pretty but it's still a bit expensive for a watch. The mechanisms are diamond or what? 12000, 6000, 17000, 5900, 26000 €, the 0 parade before my eyes and I do not want to look at these toxic watches anymore. I can buy them but at this price, it would be amazing stupidity. The € 6000 is still almost affordable compared to others, but not very pretty so forget this shop mobsters. A second watch store comes to our eyes. This store is extraordinary. The prices vary between 2500 € and according to the customer's request. If I want a watch at 15 € will they be able to design it? Assuming that according to the application applies on only 3 shows with the lowest price and 23 990 €, I doubt that my assumption is correct. Third store, I have just cracked on a watch that costs (only $ 7200). I'm just going in and putting it on my wrist to try and then come out. Yes we do, we came to watch but try is not excluded. I go in with Jenna, I ask the dogs to stay outside to avoid problems but molosse 2 follows. If there is one, it should pass.

The interior of the shop is just sublime but I do not have time to admire because a chic woman coming towards me. "Hello ladies, may I inform you?"

I smile at him "Yes hello ma'am, I would like to try the model sentence please."

She looks at me for a moment and then smiles too. "I'm going to get her ... Pass her to your wrist, please. It is handmade by our craftsmen in Switzerland. Quartz, White Gold, the dial is surrounded by 39 diamonds 0.70 carats, a limited series, well understood with its serial number, silver dial, satin strap and silk, diameter 31 millimeters. I will add that it was manufactured in only twenty copies. Its price is not excessive because of its materials and the care given to its finish by our craftsmen who are the best in their fields. I think it's perfect on your wrist. What do you think, miss?"

She is beautiful but it is so expensive. 7200 €, it's not nothing, but I make a good living, so I can be a little crazy from time to time. "I love it. I buy it."

I see you're happy to have a successful sale. "If I may, you were very good in this video in the Luxembourg garden. Do not be so surprised and never underestimate the tradesmen of big brands. We are also physionomists and are committed to this particular talent Miss Hanckok. Your mom is a very good customer of this store. Every time she comes to Paris, she makes us a little visit and has a little pleasure on the wrist when her comes out. I see that his daughter has inherited his good taste. Should I make you a package Miss Hanckok?"

They are too strong these traders. In the street nobody recognizes me and she knows who I am. "Thank you, I had fun during this photo shoot improvised for Ryan Pavis. When to my mother, yes, my mother has an awesome watch collection. But you are very strong, I am amazed that you recognize me so easily. I forgot, no need to make a gift package, I will carry her directly on me, because as you have seen, unlike my mother, I did not have a watch before passing this one."

Do not laugh, I can not be more serious. "Very well, how will you pay? Card, for a moment, go there. Do you have a photo shoot or a fashion show on paris? Your card."

I shake my head. "Not at all, a TV show and I give a prize for hum ... Yes, NRJ MUSIC AWARDS. I promote of myself. Lastly, promoting a model may seem a bit strange, but my agent says it's essential and I like working, so it's about combining business with pleasure."

She always smiles, a true professional of the trade this woman. "It's not wrong, advertising will keep you from disappearing from people's minds. Your posters and photos for the Kenzo campaign are still around, forgetting you is hard enough for the moment."

Is it a joke or she makes fun of me? She would not take me for an idiot with her job, I think. "Yes, that's not wrong. Thank you for advising me so pleasantly. I will continue my walk because my friend is waiting for me and I will also want to visit as much of this neighborhood as possible today. Have a nice day, madam."

12:35 I thank heaven for the rare beef tenderloin on my plate. My tears could flow if I was more sensitive to this bloody and enticing spectacle. Good appetite Lisa.
