June 17
It's time yet again to don your most fashionable hat and a picnic basket and head up to Chantilly for the annual Prix de Diane at the Chantilly Hippodrome. It's Ladies' Day at the races, and the fashions might overshadown the horses, but overall it's a fabulous day out for free (well, if you can get out there by train or car or helicopter). Check out one of my posts from the 2010 event with photos.

Neo Club

Neo Club
23 Rue de Ponthieu, 8th
M° F.D. Roosevelt
Tel 01 42 25 57 14

www.neoclub.com

One of the hottest clubs of 2007, the Neo is a sleek but cozy underground dance club just off the Champs and near Pink, Régine's Le Sens, and other lively nightspots along the street. SO what makes this place so great? Music that you can actually dance to, often faves from the 90s mixed in with 80s, 70s and contemporary hits. In any given night there might be disco, rock, ska and hip hop all in one night. But it works. More importantly, it's constantly full of models, international jetset and random stars of the fashion, music and movie industries.

How to get past the Paul Bettany lookalike at the door? Helps to be dressed to kill. Whatever you do, don't tell him I sent you!

PS This club replaced the Tanjia, and is now run by Nick Blast (of the BC) and Alexandre Bougault. Hopefully it lasts longer than its predecessor!
