Welcome to this, our little second part of the FIACaforium 2009. We'll go tour the Grand Palais this time, the evening of the vernissage. People already tanked on champagne turn out to be a very mingleworthy crowd, so let's have a look.

ok, I give you a guy in high heels, a poncho, plaid pants, jeans shirt and as undeniably important accessoire: a gourd. Something no good household can survive without these days it seems.
