ONE CAN HARDLY ARGUE...
. . . that ever so often there comes a time when one needs desperately to get away from ordinary life: its stress and unfabulous events that so often weights down your good spirit.
And as it happens the coming Christmas time with all of its sparkle and glory can be, well, simply too much fo the ones who seek no other than innocent fun, lounging and exciting parties without those mortal preparations that surely put your back in pain.
That is when a comfort loving lot of wondrously rich folk arrive with their hundred suitcases to the most magical winter resort on northern hemisphere. . .
...THE GRAND HOTEL IS...
. . . a place situated in remote wilderness so far back in north that on December daylight hardly sheds light above the horizon leaving endless sparkle of a winter's night to be the ever occuring state of the visit.
With the moon always high and snow and stars twinkling on both ends of the world the curious quests of Grand Hotel soon forget their real life problems leading many more peculiar events to appear. . .
Guest 1
Mademoiselle Blue
Mademoiselle Blue is one of the visitors at Grand Hotel who comes to stay at the magical resort every year during December time. By now she has her favorite room, favorite staff memebers, yearly memberships to hotel's VIP club as well as her own table at the food halls where she spends most of her stay entertaining her ever changing circle of friends. It's safe to say that Mademoiselle Blue has never mastered anything else better than the art of being a hostess and that's why she also relys on her famous dinners so much so that she throws three dinners daily in the great food hall and at the end of her stay gives an enourmos dinner party for the whole hotel. One could being to think she's hired to give such extravagant performances.
However, if we ignore the ever golden and glittering stunt of a dinner party nobody really knows who she is and how she became to have such huge sums of money needed for those endlessly, luxurious dinners. But rumor has it that Mademoiselle Blue used to be a well-known blues singer few years back and even went for a world tour but put her career on hold for a gambling obsession. Needless to say no one has ever hear her sing but the gambling payed of so well that she was able to buy a parisian town house with three floors, marble hallways and a rooftop view to Eiffel tower.
In Paris she quickly became known as the queen of dinners and was nicknamed Mademoiselle Blue for her passioned love towards the color as well as the mysterious background as a forgotten blues singer. Nowdays, she continues to entertain guests with a success that has secured her place as Paris' one main turist attractions. After all you can see the Eiffel tower from her rooftop.
Mademoiselle Blue's always matches her looks with the food she servers to her guests. Therefore here's a peek to three looks Mademoiselle wears during her dinners at Grand Hotel...
