Help[Opinions] Re: Paris
in reply to a message by Pickles
I've only ever encountered it as a name for gals, outside of the myth. When I try to imagine it on a guy, the image that comes to mind is a prepubescent "pretty" boy. If I force myself to picture a man, I get an image of a painfully shy bookworm with zits, stutter, thick spectacles ... I'm sorry Paris, but you are no handsome rake, at least not in my mind.
On a gal it's more like, cosmopolitan glamor through the starry eyes of a tacky American. Sort of the opposite of pretentious, and I kinda like it. I got my hair cut at a salon twice when I was a child, and the hairdresser's name was Paris, the first time I'd heard it as a name. She had curly reddish hair and big brown eyes and was very kind to me. She would have been born in the early sixties. The name seemed neat-o to me at the time. Even Paris Hilton has not managed to convince me not to like it.
