What is it French Tuesdays? French Tuesdays is a Social Network Community founded by 2 French guys in 2003 with the initial idea of organizing social events for a selected group of people in NYC. Since New Yorkers love to be or feel exclusive it made here the perfect place to start this type of community.
I attended one of their Events last week, and I will share all my experience with you.
A long time I didn’t hear about French Tuesdays; I didn’t even know that kept going on strong until my friend Etienne De Yans, founder of Tapis Rouge, invited me to attend their last party.
As a Model in NY, you get invited to parties and exclusive Events that the majority don’t have access to it; We end up getting spoiled by this little private World, which seems very unrealistic to the eyes of the outsiders.
I remember that back in the days it was important to be on the social scene, the online World was not so popular yet, and a lot of the connections were made in social events, parties where people in the industry could see you. Nowadays everything is online, your Instagram account and number of followers you have is enough for people to find you.
In a time where all the relationships are becoming online, It is important to take some time to do a face to face network too, and being a part of the French Tuesdays Social Network could be a good way to start for some good reasons.
The parties are exclusive where you have to be a member to get in; the memberships are offered by invitation only, it means You need to be invited by a member of the community. As soon as you go through the process and get approved, you start to have access to the list of Events around the World.
The parties are usually in a happy hour style in hot spots around the city with different themes. The one from last week happened at Avenue Nightclub located at the Meat Packing District area.
When I arrived I was greeted by the security that makes sure everybody attending is an exclusive member and nobody is crashing the party. The crowd is sophisticated and well dressed, the music is a perfect matching to the vibe. I chatted with some of the members, and they just had good experiences to share about the Events they participated around the World through the French Tuesdays community.
The theme of this party was Champs Elysees Ave 2.0. It started to pick up after 8, everybody was happy, dancing, networking and sipping one of the specialty cocktails. My favorite cocktail was the Greyhound, combining vodka, seltzer and Grapefruit juice. It had a touch of balance and freshness following Miss Caipi‘s style.
It is a party full of entertainment with dancers wearing “Can Can costumes” or even being Marilyn Monroe performing around the guests. You could see people holding French flags or even wearing the traditional French painter hats all over the place grooving by the sound of the tunes.
You can call the French Tuesdays a happy hour full of surprises and great entertainment for the ones that are lucky enough to be part of this exclusive community.
If You want to be part of The French Tuesdays cool tribe, don’t waste any time and try to find your passport into the next parties following the guidelines above.

A few years ago I was part of the Asmallworld community similar to the French Tuesdays, then it started to become to big and not so exclusive and selective anymore. A couple of years they started to charge a fee to be part of it. I didn’t want to be part of it. But I will definitely check French Tuesdays after reading such a great feedback in your post. Keep writing you really have an eye for it!!! You are Beautiful too!
Carla
Thank you Philip for the great feed back! Indeed check French Tuesdays, they have a selective number of members and the Events they put together are great as I stated in the post. Have a great weekend:)

Diferente essas festas Carla,gostaria de saber se quem é convidado pode levar alguém? E qual a possibilidade de uma jovem que é universitária e de classe média tem acesso? Adoro seus posts Carla e aprendo muitas coisas e vejo coisas que nem imaginava existir no mundo. Parabéns Carla,vc leva as pessoas a ver que tem muitas coisas no mundo.Bj e continue postando sobre tudo Carla!
Carla
Obrigada pelo carinho Muriel e por seguir o blog! Essas festas são só para membros da Comunidade French Tuesdays e tem como objetivo de fazerem as pessoas socializarem entre elas durante os Eventos; se você conhecer alguém que faça parte da comunidade e ser convidada terá seu passaporte de entrada . E no caso do Brasil os Eventos só acontecem em São Paulo. Espero que tenho esclarecido suas dúvidas!:)
Stella
Oi Carla,eu achei muito interessante esta postagem.Você saberia se existe essa comunidade aqui no Brasil? E se eu não for uma pessoa dentro desses critérios é possível se viajar para New York ir num evento desses? Amo seus posts Carla,sucesso para você eu gosto de ler o diário da Cool Girl e o restante do Blog! 🙂
Carla
Muito obrigada Stella por ler o blog! A Comunidade French Tuesdays tem Eventos em Sao Paulo, vc teria que ser membro da comunidade para participar dos Eventos em qualquer lugar do mundo onde os Eventos acontecam. Um otimo dia pra vc:)
