RomanticaNocturnis: I am very proud to carry clothing for both zee ladies and zee gentlemen alike. Eet seems almost indécent for a couple to dine at a three-star Michelin restaurant à Paris, pour example, eef zee gentleman's standard of attire does not compliment that of zee gentlewoman.
Me: Most definitely. Can you show me some of your favorite men's and women's outfits?
RomanticaNocturnis: Avec plaisir. Theess is one of my favorite ensembles for the proper gentleman:
RomanticaNocturnis: Eggzactly. Zank you so very much for zee kind words. A gentleman of any age would look so very distinguished in thees attire.
Me: Indeed. And a sample of one of your favorite lady's ensembles?
RomanticaNocturnis: Mais oui.
RomanticaNocturnis: Mais non! One of my centerpiece creations eez bursting weeth color:
RomanticaNocturnis: Mais pas de tout. Whenever possible, my shopkeeper, Madamoiselle Joëlle, creates garments zat can be washed and dried automatically. Every exquisite detail of my clothing may appear to have been made in zee Victorian era, but I see no reason not to use zee modern technology aussi. One is amazed at zee fabrique of today; zee most delicate lace zat stretches to almost any size, and some of Madamoiselle Joëlle's creations may be sleeped right over zee body! C'est truly amazing.
Me: Does Mademoiselle ever make accessories to wear with her extraordinary clothing?
RomanticaNocturnis: Of course! Zees ees one of my absolute favoreetes:
Me: How lovely! I supppose I should let you get back to your shopkeeping. It's been a pleasure.
RomanticaNocturnis: Sûrement. Merci beaucoup. I hope you veesit soon.
Oohh la la! Awesome interview with Romantic Nocturnis!!!
ReplyDeletewhat fun! Great interview (love the accent). And my sister wears the legwarmers during roller derby & loves them, by the way
ReplyDeleteVraiment, Stacey? Votre soeur porte des jambières de Joelle? Wow!
ReplyDeleteActually Joelle came up with a better French term for leg-warmers but I've forgotten what it was. That's so cool that she wears them for roller derby. She must look adorable.
Wonderful interview and wonderful shop! Oooo-la-la!
