Fun with Mickey

As you know my husband has been travelling all the week. What's a wife to do? Have some fun with Mickey! Not THAT Mickey (even if shopping at JCrew could be appropriately described as having fun with Mickey Drexler). I am talking about this (indubitably more famous) Mickey:



Is he inviting me to have a drink with him?



But Minnie was watching and here he's up for some explanations:



My daughter (who LOVES Mickey) was very appropriately dressed in a Minnie (by H&M) tee-shirt (that she already had and I didn't buy just for the occasion, I swear):



Seeing Minnie at the birthday party of one of my daughter's best friends yesterday reminded me that when I was younger and I had just moved to Paris in the summer I had been scripted to play Minnie at Disneyland Paris (EuroDisney). My husband (boyfriend back then) sent me for a job interview at EuroDisney but when I got there I found out that it was an audition for the main characters that play in the amusement park. So I played the game (which consisted in a choreography contest a la "So you think you can dance") and I was actually chosen for the role of Minnie (Minnies have to be short, as I found out). I never took the job because in the meanwhile I found a "serious" job in a translation company, but I have a fondness for Minnie.

Have a Happy Sunday everyone
