A WOMAN WITH A HEAVY TALENT, I AM A FAN. I just came back from 18 kilometers bicycle ride in the nature with a friend. Such a peaceful and a beautiful way to start the day. Listening to her powerful and amazing voice from my IPOD. And I am now going to ride my horse Rampeo. Cheers!

une famille de cavaliers en vadrouille…. (a family of horse-rider fanatic going for a morning in the apple trees. 3 generations sharing a passion all together, life is beautiful in the South of France. My family at my parents home…. front: my mother with her brother Andre from left & back: ines, my cousin Didier, my brother Philippe, my cousin Veronique, my sister-in-law Dany, my sister Mimi, mon Papa Riding my powerful horse Rampeo everyday right now in the toros, the apple tress and the white wild horses. I am happy to be back home for a week. It was my parents’ 50th years celebration of love and marriage. My entire family flew in for the event. My parents have 5 horses in their home and they are fond of carriages also we go out together early in the morning.

THE ULTIMATE… SUSAN BOYLE. A PHENOMENAL VOICE TOGETHER WITH SO MUCH DEEPNESS INTO HER. SHE IS A TRUE BEAUTY TO ME., AND A GREAT INSPIRATION TO ANY WOMAN. Susan Boyle, a perfectly modulated voice, a 47 depressed woman from a little village in Scotland… she said first ” I had a dream my life would be… so different form the hell I am living now.” Well, she kept her talent for herself for 47 years and when she finally opened her mouth it became an international news of triumph. Your story, your innocent charm and your courage are the living proof that if you have a dream and a talent, you can change the curse of your destiny. Some of us don’t have a reservoir of courage like she does and we wish we did. Redemption is what we seek, acknowledgment, existence — triumph! Pour toi Maman, to celebrate your passion for wild horses. Je t’aime, Ta grande

The company calls the new Harajuku location the “Ice Cubes Building” and the upper floors look like ice cubes stacked on top of each other. Shibuya district transformed with the opening of a new H&M store in time for ‘Silver-week’ on September 19th. The Japan flag-ship is a huge 4 floor mega-store which is sure to bring more of H&M’s product lines to Tokyo. Expect HUGE queues for the next month then more in November when Jimmy Choo’s collection for H&M is launched. cannot wait! Actually I chose my outfit for the opening with a touch of Fergie and the Black Eye Peas as they were to perform at the party. adidas boxing pants and jacket, with H&M necklaces and rings and Jimmy Choo’s gold stilettos and a fluo-pink bag. I think I never took so many pictures with fans in my life, it was amazing and I am really touched with the sweet words that each of the girls (and even guys) were giving me. THANK YOU! “My girls” Mai the a top-blogger in Japan and the sweetest little angel who flies from parties to parties to deliver her message of love & Rei Hamada my beautiful 1st runner-up in 2007. Many past finalists came, almost 10 of them from the past years, we were hugging and so happy to see each others again. I love my baby girls. Even thought they are adults, I always see them as my babies…  among them Rei Hamada, Meri, Anna Sado, Yuka Hamada, Sayo, Reiko Iida, Miyako Miyazaki, Yuko Ishizawa and Maiko whom is getting married soon. We ended up at Le Baron afterward with my friend Tina and other friends, the Black Eye Peas were there as well relaxing and enjoying the evening, they also DJed for a while. It was quite private and only few people were there which made it comfortable to dance. We loved their performance inside the H&M shop, they really are something! (video above of the fans dancing while the Black Eye Peas are playing). Hiroko and Emiri were ther as well and were a standout in the night. They are sooooo beautiful! The next day first opening for its customers….
