……………The Olympics in Paris has begun!!!! and I couldn’t be more thrilled!…….The opening ceremony was done in FRENCH FASHION…….not in a stadium…..but using the “CITY OF LOVE” as its’ backdrop…….The athletes came down the River Seine in boats of all sizes waving their national FLAGS IN THE POURING RAIN, but did they care it was raining?…..not a bit….Nothing was going to spoil their fun! As they came down the river VIGNETTES were happening all along the river, and on the roof tops of some of the most famous landmarks of Paris……What a PRODUCTION!……Some were more successful than others, and it was a lot to undertake, and some will say too ambitious….In a way it reminded me of the fashion show….”The Battle Of Versailles”….The French production was also too ambitious, and in the end was not good…..I can say that there were some incredible moments….like the many Marie Antoinettes in red dresses in windows of a famous building….all headless holding their heads in their hands……LADY GAGA did a spectacular Folies Bergere performance with hot pink feather fans and a slew of male dancers ……It reminded me of Marilyn Munroe’s dance number…..It was preformed on a gold staircase on the banks of the Seine…..Can Can dancers and Heavy Metal bands all performed….It was a bit all over the place……However……you can bet I will be glued to the TV for the next two weeks watching every event I can!
