July 14, 2005 — Happy Bastille Day
I love Renoir & Monet. All over my house you will find prints of their works. My favorites by far are Dance In the City and Mother With Child. I use these on my Yahoo profiles sometimes. I also love Marc Chagall.
I really love French purses ie Etienne Aigner. I used to be a huge Burberry user but Aigner is way more durable! Louis Vuitton rocks too!
Those who know me know that I speak fluent French. I love listening to the French singers like Yves Montand — he even made Barbra Striesand tolerable to watch in On A Clear Day You Can See Forever (but lets not talk politics today.) And of course who could forget les Hommes Francais! Why are French men so good looking?? Jean-Luc 😉 I think this is what Hollywood is missing – that French mystique. And of course, my beloved Jacques Brel singing my song, Madeleine:
I do admit though that Scotsmen like Ewan McGregor make my heart melt… And Sean Connery – beaucoup de swoon! Nothing like a man in a kilt. (Mel in Braveheart) I like the Italian guys too… Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro — SIGH! (Hi Captain Mark.)
Anyway, back to the French… crepe suzette and eclairs. I haven’t found any other French foods I like but man, put a plate of crepes in front of me and I’ll be calling my Weight Watchers sponsor with a sugar high.
