Mimi de Montmartre
Paris Coming back home is like entering a world that is kind of cut from the real world: an inside-outside world. I have a strange relationship with Paris. I’ve been living here for almost 10 years now, but I can’t say that I love the city. So coming home is really impor tant for me, to retire a bit from the stressful Parisian life. When visiting my home, people who aren’t really into music, movies, books and so on usually think it is a museum. In a way it is, but it’s a living museum for me: I live here! It’s a small apar tment, because having a big one in Paris is not affordable unless you earn lots of money, and I don’t...well, not yet! So now it is full, I sometimes dream that I discover a new room that I didn’t notice before – that would be great! I could bring back all the things I left at my mother’s place in the South of France and all the things that are waiting in the basement. There is one thing I brought back from there though: Tsunami, my lovely cat. She really blended well with the place, especially with her tiger fur! She likes to wander or sleep everywhere in the apar tment and is never far from me, even though she’s very independent – or she’s trying to convince herself that she is! Whenever there’s a photo-shoot at home she adores to interfere! She is a natural born
starlet...and I am a total anti-Feng Shui girl!
Although I’ll collect anything, every single object here is bound up with my life. Some are connected with my childhood, my teenage years, some with places I used to live, or people I met, or places I went, or with the things I love in music, movies, or ar t. Some collectors are monomaniacs, and every object they have relates to their main passion. Myself, I’m a multimaniac! My place can be my inspiration for my routines, and some of the things I use on stage are actually par t of my every day world. In a way, going on stage is like moving my home...onto the stage!
