Like all cities Paris is full of fascinating faces.
I think she is beautiful. She was made more interesting by what was above her.
This chap is at Pere Lachaise cemetery.
This one adorns Oscar Wilde’s tomb. It has recently been cleaned and the lipstick marks have been removed.
A matching pair

And by the way do you have blogs about Berlin? I looked but couldn’t find anything.

I have been to Berlin, but it was before I started the blog and I don’t even have many photos of the city. It is full of wonderful architecture and amazing museums. I think I need to go back.

A stunning post Debra!! I love the expressions. It’s almost impossible to believe they’re not real faces some of them. A gorgeous collection.

I thought of that too. I think they were in Bottega Veneta.

I love the way you share themes on your blog, Deb. “Faces” will always be popular. I love the impish face of the sprite holding her shell, also the face above her – I wonder if this one is Joan of Arc, The Maid of Orleans? The artwork of hands woven into the wig is very clever. Reminds me of the tall wigs 18th century aristocratic French ladies wore in Paris. Apparently, those wigs were often places for mice to hide in. I doubt that would happen in Collette’s shop.

I’m very sure Collette would not allow mice in her store…..unless they were very well dressed.

the child holding the seas shell up to her (his?) ear is beautiful.
Lovely Debra

I agree the lady in the first image is very beautiful. This is a lovely selection of Parisian face – the dolls on the sofa look cute.

I just love the first photo- serene is a word that springs to mind-the pose, the clothes, he face – all make for a beautiful painting.

I think my favorite sculpture is the child listening to the seashell – so whimsical!
And who could resist the cat in the basket?

The hair thing in the window at Collette is amazing. I’m fascinated by it but it’s also really wierd and I’m not sure what I’m looking at.
