Everything you want a French Quarter theater to be—sparkly chandeliers, fabulous décor, a bar in the lobby, and haunted!!! Le Petit Theater is right in the heart of the Quarter across from St. Louis Cathedral. It’s an amazing place to see a show—very glamorous, even the children’s side. The shows are professional level, and you can’t help but feel connected to old theater vibes in this place.

I lie here on my pink puffy bed in my pink silky pajamas, or pink flannel depending on my mood (the only thing you can bank on is that there will be chocolate smeared somewhere on my attire), with my pink feathered pen, writing my most delicious daydreams. Funny? Sometimes. Scandalous? Hopefully. Inspiring? Perhaps. Full of love? Always.
Welcome to my World.

Faulkner House—Joe LaSalle, the adorable proprietor who lives in the house, is a professor of English (of course) and runs the Words and Music Fest. The tiny bookstore carries a wide variety of fabulous books, the collection of walking canes is very romantic, and when asked about the ghost of William Faulkner, Mr. LaSalle says he occasionally smells pipe smoke wafting in the air (Faulkner smoked pipes!).

Stella Restaurant in the Quarter
Stella is arguably the best restaurant in New Orleans (and that’s saying something!). Stella is fancy and super fabulous with that attention to detail that takes it a step ahead of all others. Peanut allergy? They’ll note it in their computer so every time you reserve a table, they know what you can’t eat! The sommelier, John, is the best we’ve ever had. So affable, knowledgeable, and lovely–it’s worth it to go just to meet him. Stella is on Chartres…
The Super Deluxe Vintage Shop: Decades
So I adore Decades. It is a shop on Melrose in Los Angeles that has the most fabulous new and vintage collection EVER. Imagine if you’re Catherine Deneuve or Angelica Huston and you are interested in passing along a few pieces from your closet to people who will appreciate them properly: both of them did this through Decades. Have a few Birkins you’re tired of seeing unused in your closet? Send them to Decades. If you’re Julia Roberts or Angelina…
Fifi Mahoney’s
Fifi Mahoney’s! A showgirl’s dream on Royal Street in the French Quarter, Fifi Mahoney’s is beyond fabulous! When I was a showgirl in Los Angeles, I had to get my wigs and makeup at skanky smelly dives on Hollywood Boulevard. I thought I had stepped into Showgirl Heaven when I entered Fifi’s. A red velvet couch shaped like lips, three rooms full of anything a showgirl could desire! A front room full of fabulous makeup, sparkly jewels and hairbands with…
Fairies, Pippi Longstocking, and Tennessee Williams
What a day! I went to the French Quarter this morning for a Master Class on writing at the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival and as I was walking down Bourbon Street at 9am, I was so overwhelmed. There is something about the Quarter–it’s iconic for me. And it’s not just that I’m looking around and seeing the same buildings people saw 300 years ago; it teems with culture, and there’s an authenticity and beauty there that is incomparable. Walking into…
