The adorable Morgane at One + One = A French Way of Life has tagged moi in a game of blogger tag.
In bloggy blog world, getting tagged and being it, means that you have to answer a few questions before tagging someone else. Seems easy enough.
In my best ‘Wink Martindale’ voice, let’s play blogger tag…
1. Who is your style icon?
I have to go back to American roots on this one and say Summer from The OC, Miss Rachel Bilson.
This is exactly how I look when I walk Fifty.
2. What is your favorite Socialite Lit book?
Honestly, I’m not sure what Socialite Lit is (Morgane, are you sure you tagged the right girl?) so I googled it and didn’t come up with much. No definition and only one example; Bergdorf Blondes by Plum Sykes, and unfortunately, I have yet to read this Pulitzer Prize nominee. (Joking. I’m sure it’s a very entertaining read, and in the interest of full disclosure, I have read all of Candace Bushnell and currently have a Barbara Taylor Bradford in a pile of books waiting to be read so I can’t judge).
I’m going to go out on a limb and say, The Man With the Dancing Eyes.
I’m not sure if it meets the Socialite Lit requirements and I may be in danger of disqualification but it was written by Sophie Dahl who I’m guessing is a socialite if being Roald Dahl’s granddaughter and Mick Jagger’s ex makes you one.
3. Favorite Party Theme?
Is free booze a theme? Probably not, but if I could throw a party right now I’d go with Texas. And I’ll get more specific, Dallas, the show, not the city; 80’s style, big hair, big shoulders, and big drinks. I’d go as Sue Ellen and spend the whole night hunting down a Pamela just so I could throw my drink in her face.
4. Go to Halloween costume?
Since I’m no longer in elementary school, I don’t have one. But, I do have my costume picked out for this year already (maybe I am still in elementary school); French rugby player, Dimitri Szarzewski.
He’s so pretty and his hair always looks perfect, The Husband and I call him, L’Oréal. Dimitri is the Hooker for the French team. Sounds naughty doesn’t it?
I had briefly considered going as Chabal, but I don’t want to mess around with the whole beard thing.
Love me some Chabal
5. Extravagance you can’t live without?
I’ve become a tad less high maintenance as I’ve gotten older (I can hear the laughter from all who know me) and the only thing I really need is one great restaurant a month.
6. Living person you admire?
Christiane Amanpour.
She’s a brainy broad
7. Greatest fear?
Not being prepared. And this goes for everything; not being prepared for the grocery store, travel, the future…
8. Trait you deplore in yourself?
Raging PMS (aka as PMT in Great Britain and Ireland).
‘Watch out world I’m going to cry. Now I’m going to yell at you. Now I’m going to cry some more while I nag, nag, and nag some more. I need cuddles. Can someone hug me?’ I’m surprised The Husband and Fifty don’t check into a hotel each month.
Oh, and I don’t like that I can never live in the moment. Having to feel prepared all the time means I rarely relax and just go with the flow. I’d love to be one of those flowy people.
9. Which talent would you most like to have?
It’s not a talent as much as a trait, selflessness. I think more selfless people is a good thing.
10. Greatest achievement?
Being good friends with my mother. It’s true. She’s my wine travel buddy.
Wow. That took forever. Hope everyone is still with me.
Now I tag…
(I’m going to be naughty and tag three because I haven’t had enough coffee to make a decision)
