Fetish Ispahan!

Pierre Herme's Pink Ispahan, Watercolor, 9" x 11"

Again, THANK YOU for all the well-wishes To Get In The Pink of Health. I've got PINK on the brain...

And so does Maitre patissiere Pierre Herme. I received his announcement of the new Fetish Ispahan collection (only available du 15/02/2011 - 20/03/2011)

So much 'pink' to taste...
Herme even has miniature pink gateaux...
Along with le monstre Ispahan...

Et bien sur les individuals...

Beaucoup du individuals...

But it only takes one...

This Ispahan verrine is toooo pretty!

Paris taught me to love roses - they are on almost every street corner...Merci au Nom de la Rose.

French Pink Tea, watercolor, 9" x 11"

One visit I went wild and bought everything Rose in sight...
Now for The In The Pink Report:

My MRI says I have quite a few herniated disks = no surgery required.

GRAND MERCI!

I am crazy for my new physical therapist - he gave me ultra-sound-accupressure-massage-heat+tingles yesterday and I feel like a newborn.
I'm feeling much, much better thanks to all your kind words and thoughts.

BONJOUR FETISH ISPAHAN!!!

MRI PARIS PINKS

As you slide gingerly onto the MRI table, you don't expect to see a 'blanket' of pink cherry blossoms overhead. It's very cheering and leads you to expect more pink to follow...
But no, they don't give you a pink paper hat to wear whilst inside getting zapped.
Nor do they wrap you in pink sheets(like French Girl sleeps in every night).
No decorative pink tassels (again c/o French Girl) hanging from the equipment, though it would certainement be an improvement...
It can get breezy inside an MRI, but they've forgotten to provide a proper pink scarf to wrap around you neck...

After you're finished (and have survived!) the ordeal, no pink truck comes to pick you up malheureusement...

Nor are you assisted out of your surgical gown by aides in hot pink aprons - whyever not?

A post-MRI snack would be very welcome, especially in pink, but dream on...

Snacking under pink umbrellas wouldn't be remiss...

A hello from a rose in the Rodin museum garden - M.I.A.

Instead I went home and tried to paint in bed this rose...

There are hazards to that activity - like spilling your jar of paint water over everything!

BONJOUR MRI PARIS PINKS!

Here's a tip for coping with an MRI - don't get much sleep the night before and you'll doze like a baby inside the blasted/blasting thing.

Well I did :)
