By Kate | January 3, 2009 So here it is, the third and final instalment of notes from Paris.

To kick off, I should bring your attention to a local event, almost a stone’s throw from Zeus House, called Fashion Made Fair. I quote: This [...]
London nervously awaits the results of the Mayoral elections 2008, wondering which clown won.
