Maisie Wilhelm
Maisie Wilhelm is a Midwestern girl at heart, even though she has been living abroad for 3 of the last 4 years, Italy and France. Just like Madonna, she escaped from a factory town in Michigan. She received a degree in Italian Studies from Brown University, and became a freelance journalist after moving to Paris in pursuit of the clichéd dream of writing a novel in smoky cafes. She has published in the International Herald Tribune, Paris Voice, regularly in Paris Notes, and in various travel publications. She worked as a journalist in Munich during the FIFA World Cup 2006, and is the Fashion assistant at the International Herald Tribune, having traveled on business to Morocco, Italy, and Denmark. She also writes the Paris Events listings. Read about What Maisie Knew (what's shaking in Paris) in the blogosphere at http://maisie.typepad/com/whatmaisieknew
