Paris With Julie Benz

No Ordinary Family's Julie Benz, aka Dexter's murdered bride, is having no ordinary Christmas. On December 19th, Benz tweeted she was flying to Paris and begged, "Please stop snowing in Paris... Please stop snowing in Paris." She probably wasn't the only one hailing the weather man. Heavy snow closed down the Charles de Gaulle airport earlier this month.

Benz spent the flight reading Jenny McCarthy's book, Love, Lust & Faking It: The Naked Truth About Sex, Lies, and True Romance. McCarthy's amusing guide to dating and relationships touches on everything from first loves to STDs and boob jobs to bootie calls. By the time she was done, Benz tweeted Jenny, "It was like you were sitting next to me on the plane!!!! Great fun read and I learned a lot, too."

Once she landed, Benz was spotted sightseeing in front of the Eiffel Tower with her boyfriend, Rich Orosco (Hmmm... wonder if she followed Jenny's advice.), strolling by Café de Flore, and shopping in the cold weather. Last evening, she had a nightcap at Buddha Bar. Today, she admits, "My high school French did not deliver an appetizing entree at the Brasserie Lipp."

A Moveable Feast

Paris, to borrow Hemingway's observation, is A Moveable Feast. Les Tuileries and the Luxembourg Gardens are a visual banquet, but Hemingway probably spent more time drinking in Cafe de Flore, Deux Magots, and the bar in the Ritz. For a mind-bending spread, there's the historic bookshop, Shakespeare & Co., which carries English language books, included Papa's. After selling a story, which he earnestly pounded out on a typewriter on the 8th floor of 38 rue Descartes, Hemingway feasted at the Brasserie Lipp back in the 20s. Follow in his footsteps, or create your own. Frusion is giving away $1,000 to taste every sweet moment. Drink up and enter.
