THE NEWSLETTER THAT MAKES YOU FLY TO THE MOON
Did you know that November 5 is the equivalent of the 15th of Brumaire in the Republican calendar? And did you also know that it was Turkey Day? Don't think that, for this reason, I would linger on talking about Sandrine Kiberlain's ex-husband.
Good for him that the "Zola of TV sets" has managed a career praised by the professionals of the profession. But this inner circle doesn't interest me much. I prefer to leave that to the ego-smeared red carpets.
Did you know that November 5 was Robert Patrick's birthday?
Does that ring a bell? Remember: he's the T-1000, the liquid metal Terminator villain. Did you also know that, originally, the role was offered to Billy Idol? But, due to a leg injury, he couldn’t play in it. And the movie became what you know: a remake of the first, probably accompanied by the worst song Guns N' Roses ever wrote.
Another thing, it was on a November 5 that, 22 years ago, Carla Bruni’s first album was released, created with Bertignac and Carax. At the time, these Dutronc-inspired ballads were praised by all the so-called leftist critics.
Each track was the darling of Radio France and other public broadcasters. However, when she chose to marry Nicolas Sarkozy, the media coverage shifted sides. Carla Bruni became the sweetheart of Le Figaro, Europe 1, and Le Journal du Dimanche. Enough to make you sick of the press, wouldn't you say? At least, of a certain kind of press. As for the rest, who cares, right? As for me, you know me, I’m more of a punk concert and mosh pit person, with my Docs and a glass of champagne. So, that album has always felt like a chloroform-soaked gag to me.
In fact, I've recounted a few past events of November 5 so you can realize that the best is yet to come. That it’s in front of you. That all you have to do is bend down, pick it up, and put it on your feet.
This "best" is me. I mean, my shoes, my kicks, my creations. Shoes made to please you and make you shine. Shoes made to send you into orbit and make you the new Tesla/ChatGPT/Meta/hunter-gatherer of the galaxy.
Actually, what matters to me is that you can get through this November with as much fire in your body and devil in your heels as possible. That this month, which leads us to winter, brings you to light and makes you shine in a thousand ways, Shining style, minus the axe.
Kisses, my little elves.
