Santacon in Paris!

Possibly the most exciting news of the day, a Santacon event happening in Paris! The very idea of attending two santacons, internationally, in one year arose a couple of weeks back on the uksantacon mailing list but I scarcely allowed myself to consider it, merely posting support for the date of Dec 18th, so exciting was it!

My new heroine, Susie Hollands, has taken the lead and posted as close to something official as it probably needed... the original message copied below (including the explanation why it can't be called "santacon"...)

Bonjour UK Santas -

here in paris we are often in need of a little good cheer and ho ho ho.

i think it's time for the first ever Paris Santa....(we can't called it "con" because that means "cunt" in French)......the first ever Paris Santarchy.

As a proud veteran of 2001/2 Santacon's in London, I found the "experiment" intruiging - to see the response of the weary Oxford Street shoppers to our ensemble was unforgettable. Now. Try and imagine the effect on the denizens of Paris, not normally known for their joviality and sense of humour.....but, could they surprise us?

You are invited to hop on eurostar for Saturday 18th December and more than welcome to join us for a romp round the City of Light.

Kick off from Gare du Nord, Eurostar Terminal around midday.

You know the requirements: red togs, beards, tangerines and of course naughty and nice stickers. Plus Hip Flasks.

Just imagine Santa; La Tour Eiffel, Centre Pompidou, Sacre Coeur, Galeries Lafayette,La Moulin Rouge............

Please let me know if you are interested - i want to know numbers.

A bientot - La Parisienne Santa .
