Is 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony "Bold, Audacious . . . and Risky"?

“Now, the organizers of next summer’s Paris Olympics want to make the Seine the star of their Games with an audacious plan to host the Opening Ceremonies not inside a stadium as other Olympics have done but on the river itself,” writes The Washington Post.
AOC shares this complimentary Washington Post story on the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremonies.
Writer Les Carpenter isn’t wrong in his concerns about what could go wrong with this ambitious plan to hold the ceremony on the Seine. But it won’t happen because LVMH is a key player in this ambitious plan.
There is no way LVMH founder Bernard Arnault is going down in front of the whole world. And taking Paris with him.
It will not happen. Louis Vuitton is opening their first hotel in Paris in 2026, and it will be a beauty.
If Bernard Arnault has to fork over $1 billion of his own money because a crisis occurs and only one man in the world can pull the levers of mechanical, engineering, and creative problem-solving power in the most extraordinary ways possible to save French civilization — Arnault will do it.
After all. The whole world is coming to Paris July 26, 2024.
We won’t know it’s the Plan B solution, paid out of his own pocket. We will never know.
Bernard Arnault comes from the “Never let them see you sweat school of pressure management.”
Arnault will deliver the French Opening Ceremonies, because he loves France deeply. — as much as he loves himself. Most billionaires don’t have such love for their home country or adopted one. Their primary focus is the man in the mirror and maybe family.
Imagine having this kind of a business rocket ride into the stratosphere as the richest — or #2 or #3 man in the world. Arnault plays Forbes-ranking racket ball with Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. And still he loves his precious France so deeply. It’s inspiring, Mr. Arnault.
This is my comment on WaPo:
Join us as we nourish this long love affair between France and America. And Anne’s privileged love affair with Paris, with her constant business visits for years.
If you’ve read Anne of Carversville for a long time, you understand. If you haven’t — welcome — and you will understand soon enough.
What’s Going On Anne? You are Pulling Out All the Stops Here!
For over a year I’ve broken many rules of how to run a website — after making a pile of mistakes getting started long ago. Very confident now about my editorial approach and our bounce rate off the main page with all the excerpts, our new landing page wings are getting ready to fly.
Louis Vuitton is first up, followed by Christian Dior, ka Dior. We want to be the destination for LVMH news and Anne commentary, before we’re finished. The first Louis Vuitton pages are ready Sunday night the 7th.
Pragmatically-speaking, more than any other fashion industry conglomerate, LVMH understands the issues before us in America and around the world.
Liberal democracies are on the line in 2024 — and America has always been the star beacon in principle — if not execution.
We continue to aim to live up to our Declaration of Independence. France actually understands America better than Britain, in my opinion. I want to share all that I’ve learned since Charlottesville in 2017 about American history — and how France has dealt with many of the same challenges.
When people ask me why I’m doing this massive effort with Anne of Carversville, I have two responses.
1) My original GlamTribal jewelry collection is returning to Anne of Carversville in fabulous form with design stories driven by the writing. And
2) When the topic is America as a liberal democracy, I’m not going down without a fight in 2024. So buckle up.
For now, hello and welcome. It’s time for takeoff. We’re going to be a wow when this is all finished.
Our audience of 120,000 top creatives in the world is very lap-top and big monitor driven. The site is created for them. We do still run 37-40% on primarily iPhones.
I would loose my mind reading AOC on my iPhone. If you are, goddess bless you!! Much love, Anne
