I’ve been in Paris – can you tell? Give me twenty-four hours in France and I start coming out with all of the bad franglais. Actually (and I’m very proud of this) I always get lots of compliments about my very authentic French accent whenever I’m in Paris. Unfortunately I only know one sentence – the rest of my French is a mish-mash of incorrectly used verbs and nonsensical sentence structures – and so they soon retract their compliments when they realise that I have the vocabulary of a two year old.
Whatever; Sac de Secrets sounds all kinds of enticing. Fancy a delve inside? I had absolutely no idea what was in my handbag before I started filming and so the whole video was kind of risky, but I had accidentally deleted half of the footage from the serious skincare video you were supposed to get and so I had to just take le plunge.
And so if you want to see my Wayne’s World impression, find out what I bought from Gucci and hear what I think of Charlotte Tilbury’s eye quads then press that play button – you can find more info below the video pane.
I shot this video in my room at the Raffles hotel in Paris where I had the noisiest neighbours you can imagine – they had a party until 2am, quick break at the bar downstairs and then back up to their lair to make more noise from 5 until 7. I hated them with a passion and wanted to smash my fists on the wall, but when I managed to get a glimpse of them in the corridor through my spy-hole one of the blokes looked like he might be Mafia. Admittedly the 70s Mafia, because he was in a bright white flared suit with his black shirt undone to the waist, but still. You can’t be too careful these days. I mean maybe he was actually an Elvis impersonator or something, but I wasn’t going to take the chance. Being sent to sleep with the fishes or serenaded with a hammy rendition of Suspicious Minds are two very different outcomes.

I always feel dubious about bathroom mirrors in hotel rooms, I get a creepy 2-way mirror feeling. Looks like you have a WHOLE bathroom of mirrors. Sleep tight LOL
Honestly, getting out of the bath was an emotionally scarring experience. I saw things I’ve never seen before.
My god woman! What on earth were you doing? LOL
Wow, I’m impressed about your authentic French accent!

I sympathise! I seem to look/sound a bit Spanish because people there always assume I am, which is embarrassing when I exhaust my stock of four sentences. I don’t even LIKE chorizo…
HAHA!!!!!
I’m intrigued by the metal log?….
