14 July 2005 :: " The Attack of the 50ft Francophile #3" ::

Tragic isn't it?

My lovely manservant, mr.Kenneth catches me in a private moment in the back room at Chez Shirley garnering inspiration for this latest instalment of low-fi lovliness and then threatens moi with an aural torture too hideous to mention if I don't let him post the pic!

Okay ... I'll spill the beans on that minx and all I'll say is two words ... Phil Collins.
Such a cruel, cruel man. If he wasn't so good around the house, I'd be hunting the personals for a replacement that's for sure.

So enough about moi.

As long time listeners know, it's a tradition here that mr.Kenneth and I celebrate Bastille Day, so I've had him pulling all sorts of music down from the shelves again that scream "France".

You'll hear some French people singing in French, some English speakers singing in French, some German types doing their best for international relations and some French people singing in English. Kooky huh?

But's that's the French for you. Bless their Hermes socks!

Any nationality that can stop Oprah Winfrey at their front door from torturing them with a frenzied bellowing of "CHARGE IT!" as she bulls in a china shop around their tasteful abode AND honour Patti Smith with an Order of Arts and Letters rises immeasurably in my books!

Bon Appetit!

*smooches*
laShirl and mr.Kenneth
