Missing classes with Myriam P...Dear Tangocommuter,<br /><br />Missing classes with Myriam Pincen is unfinished business indeed! She is one of those milongueras at the very top, like Elba and Adela and Susy and Marta Fama....Man Yung was so enthralled by her wonderful dancing and great beauty (she is really beautiful, if you haven't yet had the chance to meet her face to face) that he proposed marriage!<br /><br />No, she did not accept. Sorry Man Yung!<br /><br />Man Yung is so crushed that forever he will have a psychological barrier to learning any more spanish. Which means that I will remain the one ho-humming "Bueno...entonces" for the rest of our Buenos Aires adventures (yes, it's true, they are useful and I use them a lot!)<br /><br />Thanks for your comment, and yes, thanks for bringing it up - everyone should check out the Practimilonguero interviews with Myriam and also other reknowned milongueros.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment, hope you will be able to make it to Buenos Aires very soon,<br /><br />Irene and Man YungIrene and Man Yunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902209997189563931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771406579622061482.post-81394262577559628692011-04-21T16:48:50.249-04:002011-04-21T16:48:50.249-04:00Dear Angelina and Tangoiste,
Today, I decided not...Dear Angelina and Tangoiste,<br /><br />Today, I decided not to wait for spring anymore to use a warm weather perfume I have been longing to use for months and months - Annick Goutal's "Songes". It's supposed to be an evocation of the scent of frangipani at sunset on the island of Mauritius, according to the notes by the perfumer Isabelle Doyen. It's an "artisanal" scent, expensive and yummy!<br /><br />I wore this scent to the office every day of the summer last year.<br /><br />So, what kind of delicious reminiscences enveloped me when I spritzed "Songes" today?<br /><br />...Fax machines, copier toner and deadlines!<br /><br />I'll attempt a pithy remark: A perfume without memories is nothing more than a pleasant smell. Just as tango without sentiment is nothing more than noise with compas!<br /><br />Thanks for your comments,<br /><br />Irene and Man YungIrene and Man Yunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902209997189563931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771406579622061482.post-90781716019412106562011-04-21T12:56:42.935-04:002011-04-21T12:56:42.935-04:00Many thanks for your comment on my post, 'Inte...Many thanks for your comment on my post, 'Interlude: I don't get a class with Myriam Pincen'. It was good to remember that hot afternoon in December 2009, and a 'cortado' down the road from Canning, and also to hear that Man Yung got a dance with her! I wanted to meet her as she taught with Ricardo Vidort for several years, and not getting classes with her leaves me with unfinished business in BsAs. Hopefully, next visit! I think her recent session with PractiMilongueros shows her love of the tango of the milongas, and she speaks clearly about it too. <br /><br />I'm sure Man Yung's castellaño will improve very rapidly! 'Bueno, entonces...' can be irritating, but might be useful.Tangocommuterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060601718946750364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771406579622061482.post-16092697607748770592011-04-21T01:11:45.848-04:002011-04-21T01:11:45.848-04:00Aww, what a lovely thought!Aww, what a lovely thought!The Accidental Tangoistehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345900075435510748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771406579622061482.post-7690986672006245222011-04-20T21:56:36.541-04:002011-04-20T21:56:36.541-04:00Irene your visits to Buenos Aires are more frequen...Irene your visits to Buenos Aires are more frequent than mine - but what a wonderful idea.
