Somewhat tongue in cheek: So there I am wandering along my local high road when suddenly a paparazzi photographer leaps from inside a florist shop and snaps a few photos of the first Bugaboo Chameleon ever to be seen in the vicinity !
This pram/stroller is the brand new model succeeding the Bugaboo Frog which during the last year become all the rage with many celebrities wanting to be seen with one. On one website alone someone put together (believe it or not) the following list of C to A-list celebs.
- Fran Cutler ( meg matthews posse)
- Gwenyth Paltrow BLACK
- Liv Tyler NAVY
- Matt le blanc AUBERGINE
- Mariella Frostup
- Heidi Klum
- Charlie Brooks ( janine of eastenders)
- Anna Friel ( 1st to have cameleon? )DRK GREY AND GREEN
- Angela Griffiths BLACK
- Sara Cox NAVY
- Courtney Cox ( has a stokke too why who knows, cos she can) NAVY
What makes me smile is a quote in BusinessWeek Online from a New York dad who talked about his Bugaboo in the following manner "It's a stroller I'm not ashamed to push," said one father. Made in Taiwan and available in 21 countries, the Bugaboo is the Mercedes-Benz of strollers: practical, built like a tank, and very expensive.
Imagine that ! My son being pushed around in a Mercedes-Benz-like pram. His mum will be pleased.

In the meantime, back to the 'surprise' photographer, well, Thierry was fast asleep (again) so missed all the action.
