In Da House.
Hot news just in! Scorching hot off the presses! Are you ready? Wha!? I said are you ready?! The airdate for our House Hunter's International NYC to Paris episode has just been announced! Please tune in on December 19th at 10:30 on HGTV to see me squeeze into our new home (pictured above) and all the chaos we get into as we look for the perfect home in Paris. I knew space was a problem here, but our new home might just be a little too small. I guess my midnight munchie habit of baguettes smeared with rich cheeses, and washed down with bubbly crémant finally caught up with me!

Here are some episode fun facts:


- The first day of shooting in Paris, I had flown in from New York only the day before and couldn't jump on Paris time in under 24 hours (crazy, right?). If my eyes look bloodshot and are half open in some scenes, it's not because I'm hungover. I was beyond exhausted.
- In fact, I was so tired that when we were shooting a scene in Oberkampf, and I fell flat on my face. Like hands out to protect my face from getting bashed in by the pavement. A crew of firemen and a near by elderly man holding a baguette came to my rescue. It was so dramatic. You can see the scrapes on my knees and ankles throughout the entire episode.
- Séb and the crew surprised me on the last day at Parc Vincennes with a birthday sing-along and a box LaDurée vanilla macarons. Trop chou!

- My mother makes an appearance. Oh yes. I have no idea what was edited but she came out with some great lines. She had the crew dying of laughter. I think she said "Who gives a shit?" like 5 times in her thick New York accent. You can hear me in the background screaming "Mom! Language!"

- Watching some of the playback I couldn't help but think of the old cliche that the camera adds ten (or twenty!) pounds, but holy merde! Séb who is a twig even looks full. Good thing this isn't Janice Dickinson's modeling reality show otherwise I would have been screwed.


- Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Do not read on if you want to wait for the episode to air! My striped shirt makes an appearance in a scene or two. I couldn't resist "Frenching" it up a bit.
We're really excited to watch the episode but unfortunately we'll be receiving our copy several weeks after the episode airs, which means a lot of you will see it before us! I hope you enjoy it and please let me know how it came out! We have a few weeks though, until then...
I wish you all a lovely first weekend in December!  Let the holiday madness begin!
