On one of his walks around the Grand Canal this weekend, The Frenchman's eyes were drawn towards a pretty girl in a party dress that was period-perfect 1803.

The girl noted his admiration and, I'm sure, was pleased, as it's always nice to get confirmation when you are feeling beautiful.

I don't often feel this way, but on the occasions I have, it's been while wearing something festive for the Holiday Party season. Such a pity that these affairs have become so much more casual than in the past.
