"I am Eloise. I am six. I am a city child. I live at The Plaza." With those opening lines, I fell in love with Eloise. If you dont know this little girl, you need to. Kay Thompson was said to have created her as a mix of herself as a child and of Liza Minnelli (Kay's goddaughter) who was often left at The Plaza while her mother was away. I wanted to be Eloise. I loved her. I loved her for wearing Kleenex boxes as hats and toe shoes on her ears to lunch. I loved that she had her run of The Plaza and that her mother knew the owner. I liked her imagination and I liked that she was bad, bad, bad! I liked that she slithered, slomped and sklonked her away around. She was mischievous, cute, and, at the age of 6- an international traveller. "Sometimes I throw a temper fit...but not very often." I really loved Nanny. I got the habit of repeating things 3 times from reading Nanny so much. "Nanny is my nurse. She wears tissue paper in her dress and you can hear it. She is English and has 8 hairpins made out of bones. She says that's all she needs in this life for Lord's sake." "Nanny says she would rawther I didn't talk talk talk all the time.She always says everything 3 times like Eloise you cawn't cawn't cawn't. Sometimes I hit her on the ankle with a tassel. She is my mostly companion. " Some of my most used sayings come from Eloise. I got a lot out of these books growing up. It is just recently that I'm appreciating a whole new thing about the series...the fashion! Oh my Lord. This little girl had a specially made Dior dress! And, her mother knows Coco Chanel! And he really did work with the illustrator and design an Eloise dress! It is in the picture below on the right. The left is Eloise's spy outfit from her trip to Moscow, of course! We "always travel incognito" ;) Some more beautiful Art (by Illustrator Hilary Knight, who, btw, now works at Vanity Fair) showing Nanny and Eloise at some fabulous stores in Eloise in Paris : Cartier. Hermes. "Oh my Lord There's so much to do Tomorrow I think I'll pour a pitcher of water down the mail chute. ...Ooooooo I absolutely love The Plaza!"

There are very few characters in pop culture who I like more than Eloise, the precocious little 6 year old living in the Plaza Hotel with ...
Eloise at the Plaza....yes this is really the most adorable place. For those who are unaware of Eloise ....Kay Thompson was the author of the famous Eloise children's book series. Thompson, who lived at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, became most notable as the author of the Eloise series of children's books, which were supposedly inspired by the antics of her goddaughter Liza Minnelli, daughter of Judy Garland and film director Vincente Minnelli, but when asked if this was true responded, "I am Eloise". In February 1956 she recorded her most famous song, Eloise, and shortly thereafter capitalized on its success by launching her book series. The four books in the series, illustrated by Hilary Knight, are Eloise (1956), Eloise in Paris (1957), Eloise at Christmastime (1958) and Eloise in Moscow (1959). They follow the adventures of the precocious six-year-old girl who lives at The Plaza. All were bestsellers upon release and have been adapted into television projects. A fifth book, Eloise Takes a Bawth was released in 2002, based on a completed manuscript once slated for 1964 publication. However, at the time, Thompson blocked publication and took her other books out of print. Let's take a peek into the real Plaza..... Let's just say that this is absolutely adorable.....get ready..... this is really a little girls dream..... how cute is this raincoat and matching wellies?? yep...cupcake banks...so cute and they were affordable as well the library area allows you to watch Eloise videos the beauty salon is quite fun as well the tea salon for birthday parties would be quite memorable hats of every kind for your little princess of the plaza this one caught my eye...didn't check the price however Eloise herself on the wall you can take her home as well but I think she would miss the Plaza ...and NYC !! If I had a little girl, no doubt this would be a great place to take her. Such a fun idea and something she would remember for a lifetime. They are also having etiquette classes available.

Bonjour! Here's the thing of it: Paris has just been discovered by Eloise the little girl from the Plaza... Here is what Eloise does in Paris: everything. The effect is rawther extraordinaire. If you come to Paris with Eloise you will always be glad you did. Eloise in Paris was first published in 1957, the second of the Eloise quartet, and an immediate bestseller. Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight traveled to Paris to research the book, and the illustrations are dotted with the celebrities they knew there: Richard Avedon takes Eloise's passport photograph; Christian Dior prods her tummy, while his young assistant, Yves Saint Laurent, looks on; Lena Horne sits at an outdoor café. All four Eloise books by the late Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight — Eloise: The Absolutely Essential Edition, Eloise in Paris, Eloise at Christmastime, and Eloise in Moscow — are now being reissued by Simon & Schuster.

The Eloise character grew out of the voice of a precocious six-year-old that Miss Thompson put on to amuse her friends. Collaborating with Hilary Knight on what was an immediate bestseller, Kay Thompson became a literary sensation when Eloise was published in 1955. The book has sold more than two million copies to date.
