It has been three and a half weeks since I had a neck lift at the very glamorous offices of Dr. Benjamin Pulvermacker in Paris. I now have a neck that looks younger than my son’s (not that that was my goal). In three months, I should look back to normal. I took no pain relief, so right now, I feel tight and it itches madly, but aesthetically it has made an enormous difference. If you’re considering having a neck lift, I strongly suggest doing it.

I went deep into the country and perhaps down a deeper rabbit hole to meet and interview Alexander Waugh, the intellectual who claims William Shakespeare was the pseudonym of the poet and playwright Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. Alexander showed me his alleged proof of codes and drawings. I then went to Westminster Abbey to follow through on his evidence. My journey took me to the library and the tomb of the last De Vere, Aubrey. The whole adventure feels like I’m in a Harry Potter movie

On the fashion scene, I am thrilled to say that the H&M x Thierry Mugler clothes turned up and look great. I had to buy them through eBay, which was more accessible, if not more expensive. Finally, I was honored to meet Alexander Newley who was exhibiting his latest work and signing his new book. His mother, incidentally, is Dame Joan Collins, who, at 90, looks beyond spectacular.

I look forward to updating you on my Edward de Vere findings and about my new neck, upon which I currently have no lines in sight. G

WHEN IN PARIS...

I just arrived home from a FABULOUS trip to "The City of Lights," yes, my beautiful people, I'm speaking of Paris, France. Art excursions are a must in Paris, and this trip did not let me down. I must say, the Louis Vui on Foundation Museum, was one of the highlights of my journey! The Basquiat x Warhol exhibit is the most comprehensive I have ever witnessed. The gorgeous Frank Gehry building is packed full of more Basquiat and Warhol pieces than ever seen in one location...ever. It's seriously so amazing that it's worth the trip to Paris. When summer ends, so shall this gargantuan event. Ends August 28th, 2023...please book your tickets now!! foundationlouisvui on.fr/en
