Miss and Madame

Perhaps it's just that I'm getting a little stir-crazy in this five-star gilded prison, but today I'm feeling literary.  Fortunately, there are not one but two significant moments of which to take note, and they have a certain unlikely symmetry.

Les Girls!

Since we seem to be on a kind of francophilic kick today, how about a flash mob of fierce Frenchosity? These ladies are formidable in more ways than one:

Mistinguett

de Beauvoir

Colette

Chanel

Moreau

...et bien sur, la Môme.

It must be something in the water...
