From Paris to Melbourne by train!

Tracey and Pierrick from Red February are taking a train to Australia. It may sound crazy and impossible but it’s true. An Australian and her French husband whom I’ve know for a few months now (thanks to two of my very naughty friends), have taken off and are now riding a train (trains) to Melbourne Australia.
After a quick introduction to snow and rain in safe Sweden and Finland, they will be soon entering the scary and snowy open spaces of Sibiria. They are currently in St Petersburg, staying in a youth hostel, that seems to be more of a gathering place for recently released criminals than a quaint little datcha.
Tracey and Pierre met a few years ago in some remote Chinese village while touring Asia and the travelling bug has never left them since then. I find their blog really exciting and keep on connecting myself all the time in order to prentend that – for a while – I am also travelling with them. So I invite you all to go to their site to say hi and perhaps, like me, you’ll want to follow them on their trip as if we were all part of this incredible adventure.

You might think it looks scary, but this picture actually turns me on with excitment.

Petite Anglaise

This is Frog with a Blog reporting live from Parisian Celebs wild nights. Petite Anglaise whose book was released last Thursday, threw one of her glamorous parties last Friday to celebrate the launch. Naturally, Frog with a Blog was there, for your viewing pleasure. Hear how our hostess promises us a full-frontal on a future Short & Shallow interview on this blog. See how scared she gets while discovering yours truly’s hairy chest and finally do look at all these glam people drinking rivers of Champagne celebrating Paris Bloggers’ own Evita Perón.

Warning: These two videos contain explicit language such as nipples and ass groping. You have been warned.

I had to cut this video in two as dailymotion thought it was too hot.

KnK and Frog Teach You French While Penguins Waddle and Poop

Feeling for a new French expression per week taught by our favorite podcasters and your dear Frog? Meet us every Sunday on the new and extended Katia & Kyliemac’s French Lesson. Three sites for the price of one! The ever so popular K&K VO, K&K Teach You French and finally the K&K Tourist Tips to France. All of that in true K&K spirit, with a lot of talking, laughing, caughing, choking on Halloween peeps, making fun of France and the rest of the world and a little bit of facts as well… just a little bit.

Here is a little video shot after an episode we recently recorded, during which our favorite girls open up a present sent by one of their faithful listeners. The Waddling Pooper Penguin is the Valentine’s Day present you all want to give to your loved ones. Yes, you’ve seen it here first and I know already how thankful you are.

 

Retrospective 07

Wasn’t it high time you had your traditional new fwab year video? Here’s a quick overview of all I got to do thanks to blogging in 2007. Such a fun year! So many new fwabulous people! So many hours spent on the computer! So few hours of sleep…

Singing & Spanking

KnK

I’m on the KnK Podcast show… again! They just won’t get rid of me. This time we’re saying deep and meaningful things about accents, new French words, culture shock and reverse culture shock.

Why don’t you go and wish the girls a happy podiversary (‘cos everyone is celebrating this month obviously). Then if you want to know more about them, do have a look at the little video I made for their podiversary.

Entering Year Three of the FwAB Calendar

On August 5th, Frog with a Blog turned 2 years old and I didn’t celebrate. No video like last year and no looking back. I think I was probably scared to realize how much time I have been spending on this computer.Because, let’s see what I’ve accomplished in this last year of blogging:

– I’ve gained 5 kilos

– I’ve hit the refresh button so many times that I destroyed it and had to change computer. Continue reading

The Katia & Kyliemac Show

donvisitpariscom5253.jpg

On Saturday afternoon I didn’t go to Gaypride, I didn’t wear any tight t-shirt and I didn’t put any feather up my bum. Instead I went to another type of gaypride, feathers & boas were worn, a lot of bitching took place and the fag-hags were entertaining. A combination that simlply makes the real gaypride feel like a quiet country music festival in southern Alabama.

Yes, dear readers, last Saturday, I was invited on the Katia & Kyliemac podcast show , we recorded a series of episodes and you can listen to the first one here. The K&K show – that has now become an inevitable source of information for English-Speaking expats in this city – implies being asked lots of tricky questions, devouring lots of DE-LI-CIOUS muffins and generally having a lot of fun with two of the most flamboyant expats in Paris. So please go and listen to this week’s episode and learn everything about accents, buttered bread, phallic microphones and why many Americans (and probably many others) think that I sound retarded.

Special thanks to Don from Visitparis.com for the fab picture.

Short & Shallow 3 (Of Australian Soaps and Rhino)

This week, I’m remembering the very first bloggers’ picnic I attended. The one hosted by the internationally acclaimed podcasting duo Katia & Kyliemac. You’ve already seen a bunch of Short & Shallow™ Interviews with both our hostesses so now, let’s have a look at some other favorite moments shot on the day of our little encounter. Strange moments. Puzzling cultural references and floods of wine. Followed by another most profound interview of my dear friend Rhino75 aka The reincarnation of **showbiz**. More Short & Shallow™ Interviews to come during the next few weeks. Stay tuned…

I Have a Guestmap…

… and it’s just waiting to be populated by you.

Thanks to Petite Anglaise my immense talent, quite a few people have been visiting this blog during the past few day. I love maps and you but since most of you will be gone in a few days, before you leave, it would be lovely to see where you are or where you come from. 😉

Start Packing!

Short & Shallow 2

The divine Kyliemac is our second interviewee. In this exclusive and **most profound interview**, I ask her about meeting bloggers, I tell her dirty stories that will have to remain censored, we laugh at Katia and her Australian accent, I want to hear about what motivated them to create the famous katiaandkyliemac’s podcast and finally my interviews become so popular that all the picnic attendees start pushing each-other to be interviewed.

Special thanks go to Rhino for his amazing camera work although you’ll see how angry I get at him when he tries to film other gorgeous people than just me and my **most profound interview**. I’m so tough, bossy and self-absorbed. My god! I AM really the new French Oprah!

Short & Shallow 1

This is the first episode in a long series of Short and Shallow interviews of some of the famous bloggers I have met recently. Today, let me introduce you to Katia, an Aussie Lass, lost in France after having met her husband a.k.a the charming Muffin Man. See how she tells us how she ended up in Paris and see how I could totally be the new French Oprah!

Coming Soon on FwAB TV

Ok, I haven’t been blogging much lately. But you see, I’ve been so busy drinking large quantities of alcohol meeting new and exciting people, meeting again some old friends and preparing a long series of meaningless videos for your pleasure only, dear visitors. Therefore, in order to keep you waiting, here is the teaser ofmy first adventure that took place a little more than a week ago. Stay tuned for the rest of the story very soon… and for some more…
