gosh.
is it that time of Year already?
March 9th (we won’t make her blush by saying the year) is the day that who-we-are-in-real-life celebrates her you know – Birthday.
of course it’s not Our Birthday (because we celebrate April 9th which is when we were allowed to start writing, publicly, here, on teamgloria.com) but we Do Indulge her because she gets Rather Excited about today on account of increasing years to become what’s she’s always wanted to be since the age of 9:
“femme d’un certain age”
she’s not There quite yet (mainly because Catherine Deneuve is the gold standard in this respect and she keeps increasing the upper limit, refusing Point Blank, to be anything Other than Still Glamorous and feisty and eyebrow-raising-irony French).
while she got all excited and sipped coffee and responded to lovely (how modern) text messages next door, we did Some Research.
it appears that there are Other people born on March 9th too!
and they all have something of a deeply creative and big eyed fringed with dark lashes (mascara or not in the case of John Cale) Appeal, it seems.
Kim Tae-yeon from Korea #weadorethewondergirls – watch this!
and then from La belle France – Juliette Binoche – and there are many beautiful heart-rending movies made by La Binoche but we love Jet Lag (Décalage horaire) most of all. 
John Cale was also born today (in a Welsh mining town – such a long way from there to Here.)
and then, of course, of course, there’s VITA.
so there you go.
a Deeply Creative Bunch born today. 
William sent a Marvel(l)ous Card. 
we’re going to lounge here just for a while – it’s only 0746AM in Los Angeles, darlings – we shall amuse ourselves with the Letters of Truman Capote, slip into the dark embrace of caffeine and perhaps nibble on (just) half a grapefruit.
there are plans ahead for the day – we’ll tag along and take photographs just to keep her amused and indulged.
although we’d Like to Point Out that Last Year we were in PARIS.
*sighs*
as we recall – we ordered Room Service (yes, we were at Le Bristol – with the Day Job and being all secretive and Still Anonymous) and just “happened” to confess it was our “anniversaire”……..the door was discretely tapped on again a few moments later and VOILA! Un Gateau!
but naturally we’re Tickled Pink that we’re in Tinseltown.
plus half a grapefruit for breakfast rather than Un Gateau is probably more suitable for (almost) un femme d’un certain age.
but there will be Milkshakes later.
we’ve been Promised.
*smiling*
as who we are in RL is Increasing in age, as teamgloria, n’est ce pas, we’re Perpetually 28, naturellement, so we can afford to be Gracious ;-)
