Pimple Pants?  Teen Troubles Trousers?  Blemish Booty?  No, it's Acne Jeans, a brand prominently featured at Le Bon Marche here in Paris.  

                                                                            

According to the Acne Jeans website, Acne is a creative fashion collective located in Stockholm that has created its own clothing line.  I'm happy for them if it works, but somehow I think it wouldn't go over so big in the US and A.  Sitting down and relaxing in my Acne Jeans with a nice glass of Bubo?  Non, merci.

And while we're on vacation, let me just add that I think I've got a new slogan for British Airways: "Making US Airways look competent."  We're still waiting for our luggage — from our arrival on Thursday.  Many thanks to the wonderfully helpful staff at the Du Pareil au Meme  boutiques on the rue St. Placide, without whom our children would not be nearly as well clothed and shod as they are now.

But enough of my yakking.  I believe it's time for an aperitif.  A bientot.
