Mais, Oui.


One of my favourite films ever was on again last night. I did not watch it as I have the DVD but I love it so much I considered it.
The film is “La Reine Margot” and if you have never seen it please consider watching it. It is subtitled so if that drives you bonkers then this may not be the film for you. But it is magnificent, a work of art.
So I was thinking about France. Not least because it is finally hot here and I want to go to France and sit by a river and eat cheese.

And then I had a thought about spanking. I know! It surprised me too.

Is it a co-incidence that une fessée which means “spanking” in French is so close to “confess”?

There does appear to be a link.

You confess and then suddenly – kapow! This happens. (see below)
Aren’t these French girls delightful? They are drawn by Louis Malteste.


Although there is such a thing as taking it all a bit too far, as Dumoulin’s drawing shows.


What about this one from Andy Julia?


Or this one by Lucien Clergue? I think this is beautiful.

And my favourite for last, Dupouy.


Au revoir.

Bon nuit.

    je ferme les yeux to the spanking pictures, but the film sounds wonderful and I will put it on my netflix list.

    Merci beaucoup.

    And that is all I can say unless I am ordering a coffee or buying bread.

    Scarlet, it honestly is an amazing film. And that is all I will say about it because it bugs me when people tell you all about films before you watch them. Please make sure you have wine in, it is a drinking wine sort of a film.

    Taking it too far indeed! Ouch! At least let a girl get into a more comfortable position, monsieur.

    The last one is interesting, because I have seen a similar photo, only there were three dogs of varying sizes lined up. Wonder which one came first Smile

    Hugs,
    Hermione

    I believe monsieur needed to make a point, Hermione, and wanted to be sure absolutement that he had the girl's attention.

    Poppy has been tucked up in bed but will return tomorrow, bright and chipper.
