There are some moments in life where you just don't want it to end. You don't realise it at first, but retrospect will reveal the clarity of the emotions you felt when it happened; all those little events that make life worth living.
Like the time I was strolling around Melbourne carrying a truly oversized white with red and green striped Gucci shopping bag. It was annoying to hoist such a heavy bag across town in sharp leather shoes and 40 degree heat and I am sure the people I knocked down with the bag were quite impressed too, but looking back, it is one of the moments you wish you can just re-live and re-do. This time, I would swing it side to side to create maximum exposure instead of pushing it aside into a corner to sip cocktails at Longrain.
Or the time when I tripped over myself in the Gucci store in Paris. Someone had obviously dusted the snow off their mink before I walked into the store as the GG embroidered carpet was clearly slick with glistening moisture. But nonetheless, I still managed to trip over myself in the store and just had to fall on top of the glass counter. Too embarrassed to regain self respect and dignity, I promptly purchased a bag to build some pride. Looking back, I shouldn't have worried at how people were looking at me; I could have afforded the whole store and more.
And like the day when I was in the bathroom and had the television on. Blondie's "Heart of Glass" started playing and I just had to rush out to see why and to my amazement, statuesque models were gyrating to Gucci's new fragrance. Naturally, I had to drop my towel and follow suit - and no, I didn't close the blinds as I no longer cared.
