  3. OK, we win - we will be there all of May. Join us. It's my wife's 60th birthday. I said Paris or diamonds. She said both and I said, non-non, so its Paris.
    Yes Genie - the waiters are cute.

  9. I don't think that you are the only one who would like to be in Paris right now. Like the B&W with this photo. Never gave much thought to the attractiveness of waiters; perhaps I'll notice more now, but maybe it's just Paris waiters?

  10. I think it's their attire --- crisp white shirts, vests and long aprons .... Looks and attitudes don't hurt either ;)

  16. I think a high percentage of them seem to be very appealing young men Genie, and also they look so handsome in an apron haha!

  17. I think it's the long apron Genie!!!

    Of course...the fact that he's good looking doesn't factor in at all!!!

  18. Yes photogenic, I also like the motion captured. Its kind of routine, but with b/w and an interesting composition becomes attractive!

  19. People watching in Paris... a great pastime :-)

  20. One of my favorite activities in Paris, is to watch irate American tourists (which the gentleman with the paper obviously isn't) jump up and leave in a huff because the waiter didn't rush over and "introduce" himself.
