“Paris was where the 20th Century was” – Gertrude Stein

~

Paris! Paris, Paris…

I was in love with you, even though my heels never knew your streets, they yearned to kiss your every cobblestone.

In love with the freedom, the beauty, history, the uninhibited, elegant, feminine and ageless women.

Style and Art.

Fell in love with your sexual revolution, artists, music, champagne coup glasses, pencil skirts, gloves and pearls.

~ Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité ~

In love with your Joie De Vivre inside of your Je Ne Sais Quoi.

I was yours, I was in love…

Russian Soul

15.elena levon photography moscow russia - 15

I’m a hot-blooded, métis woman of uncertain age.

Who is a nomadic, chaotic and at times dysfunctional home, to a fragile, Russian Soul ~ Full of flaws, absurdities, contradictions, insecurities and vulnerability.

A journey, into the core of this mysterious soul. One, that often hides, behind the curtains of obvious …
