Parlor vs. Salon

I've always wanted my own salon. Not the beauty-school-dropout kind, no, the witty-and-urbane-expatriate-living-in-Paris kind. Salons are edgy! Salons are smart! But I was firmly cautioned against using the word "salon" anywhere near my blog by the ever-perspicacious Leslie Lange, on the grounds that it would be pretentious.

Hence, Pontifica's Parlor. Alliterative, school-marmish, genteel, some might even say quaint.

Yes, I'm bitter.
