On a beautiful, warm Sunday, our Fashionsta is escorted to Original Mike’s in Santa Ana to take in a novelty (for her) musical soiree — Hillbilly Jazz.

I was 20 and I had just settled into the apartment above her cafe “Les Arcades” at 19, rue Leon Blum, right next to the marketplace of Amiens, France.
It was not exactly a tourist region. It produced neither wine nor cheese. But its medical school was one of two which Napoleon had said was okay to provide surgeons for his army. More important, with 650 students in the first year class and 110 in the second, it had the BEST such ratio in all of France for an aspiring doctor. Read more on My French Mama — Mme. Mareschal…
