Flat Linda at the Summit

Flat Linda had one of her most exciting adventures yet when she went to the top of the Eiffel Tower.



Given her waifish physique, Flat Linda had to ride in her companion's purse and just peek out lest the winds send her floating off over the lights of Paris. Miraculously, her beret stayed in place the whole time. She reports that Paris at night is indeed beautiful.



Her official photographer preferred to remain on the second level of the tower, at about 400', versus 899' for Le Sommet. Thus there are no photos from the top or of Flat Linda's seriously windblown hair.







Check out some more scenes from Flat Linda's Paris adventure.
