J'aime...les filles françaises!




You have to admit, French chicks have something the rest of us don't. Maybe it's their cool style or their I-don't-give-a-fuck-what-you-think (je m'en fous) attitude. Let's just call it a certain je ne sais quoi. Two of my favourite french filles are:





Graffiti artist 'Fafi'

In a art culture dominated by young macho guys, Fafi's fiercely feminine art stands out. Her 'fafinettes' are painted on buildings all over Paris and represent strong, fun, sexy women much like herself.

Singer, Actress and Poet Charlotte Gainsbourg

Charlotte, daughter of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg, is the epitomy of French cool. Her beauty is far from cookie-cutter, rather, her attraction comes from her quiet confidence and simple, chic style. She stars in the quirky French comedies "I Do", and "My wife is an actress" which was written by, directed by and co-stars her real-life husband Yvan Attal. Her beautiful poetry is featured on Madonna's song "What if feels like for a girl" and it is Charlotte's soft, English-accented voice heard in the intro:

Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
'Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you
What it feels like for a girl




Au revoir!
