Title: Going to California?

Stay at Gwyneth's place (https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2023/08/02/gwyneth-paltrow-airbnb-guest-house-montecito/)

Hmm, I don't know what getting Gooped means but I think I'll pass the risk of finding out.  ;D

The Washington Post fearlessly reads our collective minds and writes with investigative commitment:

"Will there be candles?"   :rimshot:

Say what you will about ole Gwyneth, her interior design preferences beat Donald's (or David Coverdale's for that matter) by a mile.  8) (I assume that the bathrooms are germ- AND document-storage-free too, she seems like the person to me who is obsessively neat.) That guesthouse really qualifies as "furnished in the sparse taste of discreet wealth".
 
And in times where educational curricula are hotly contested, Gwyneth is commendably concerned about our foreign language competencies:

Have we been mispronouncing chaise longue this whole time?

In her Instagram video, Paltrow motions to her stunning pool and remarks, “this is a really nice place to come and relax on one of the chaise longue in the sun and have a nice swim.” That last part, the part about the chaise longue, she pronounces it “shez long.” *** While Google says chaise longue is pronounced “shayz lownj,” Paltrow is using the original French way to say the word — another sign she’s doing life better than most of us.


***Au fait, Gwyneth a raison, you Yank foreign language rapists!  :mrgreen:

It's pronounced long, not lounge. Long chair, which is what it is.

Gwyneth and I know that!

 It may have to be a complimentary color, i.e. blue, various browns and I don't always get along so well.  ;)

 But that happens...... a lot! Burst finishes are fine and all, but it's pretty easy to outsparkle them.
