The San Francisco Citizen

Everybody can use a little Fairy Dust, every now and then. And today you could have gotten your fix from Paris Hilton herself at the Union Square Macy’s. Check out what Reyhan Harmanci (Wesleyan ‘01) thought about the whole thing here. (”Sweet” AND “cloying” at the same time? Who’d have thought.)

Now aren’t you happy that American Airlines let Paris on the shuttle from LA to SFO with absolutely no ID this A.M.?  San Francisco wouldn’t have been able to bear another celebrity appearance cancelation today.  

The deets:

Paris Hilton Fairy Dust Collection: The enchanting new fragrance from Paris Hilton evokes the magical allure of a fairy tale with a sprinkle of Fairy Dust… every girl can believe her dreams will come true.

Bonus: Reviews of this new scent are in.

A bargain at twice the price.

And let’s all try to see Paris as Amber Sweet in the new movie Repo! The Genetic Opera - ’cause it’s “easily one of the worst movies of the year, if not all time.” Srsly, it looks awful.

Which notes can you detect? How did they fit all that smell into one little bottle?

Prisecco Accord, Pink Peony, Orange Blossom, Gardenia, Peach Nectar, Water Litly, Sueded Patchouli, Cashmere Musk, Vanilla Creme

Come back to SF soon, Paris!

Well, as promised, park officials over at the Presidio led a tour on Sunday describing new proposals for the area around the Main Post.

Yesterday, a good turnout of about 75 people went on a 1.5 hour tour of El Presidio and the Main Post. Tour participants inside the Presdio Officer’s Club, click to expand:

It’s your Presdio, of course, so feel free to attend other walking tours scheduled for this summer:

Come see for yourself what proposals for the Presidio are all about. On this easy-to-moderate 90-minute guided walk, Presidio Trust staff will describe the birthplace of San Francisco at the heart of the Presidio – the historic Main Post – and discuss ideas for revitalizing it as the heart of an urban national park. Learn about proposals for a heritage center, an archaeology lab, public uses in the iconic brick barracks, a park lodge, reuse of the historic theatre, and a museum of contemporary art. Get answers to your questions and find out how you can make your opinions heard in this public process.

July 14th will be the next big event in the process of Bringing Back the Heart of the Presidio, as they say.

See you there!

Well, just kidding about the San Francisco Chronicle Urban Design Writer John King wanting to move La Pyramide du Louvre, but wouldn’t that big old museum in Paris be so much nicer if this modern glass pyramid were moved, say, just 150 yards to the south?

If you agree (or even if you don’t), head on over to Curbed SF and get your vote on about the siting of the soon-to-be fabulous Contemporary Art Museum of the Presidio.
