You don't want to know.<BR/><BR/>What's your favorite neighborhood in Paris?<BR/><BR/>Also, forget Panic in New York's question. The better question is, is it true that French women like middle aged, graying Italian American men?

I admit my blog is full of private jokes, play on word and slang... may be it's quite difficult to translate with babelfish. For example "avoir une sacrée belle plume" doesn't mean that you have "a beautiful sacred feather" but that you write cvery well.<BR/><BR/>@ Self taught artist : italian !<BR/><BR/>@ panic in new york : lol <BR/>look at the naked guy in the left column of my blog... <BR/><BR/>@ Polly same problem for me in England and Turkey...

If I continue to read the comments of this message, I guess that Mr Misplaced won't get the opportunity to ask me anithing at all. I'll resist... Yes, I can do it.Cécile Qd9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09611480301441422086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29487945.post-24395608345604920342008-01-30T18:12:00.000-05:002008-01-30T18:12:00.000-05:00Misplaced, thanks for the invite to play!!Q: What ...Misplaced, thanks for the invite to play!!<BR/>Q: What do you think of men in speedos?<BR/>What is the best way to pass for a Parisian when in Paris?

Kudos on your well-deserved praise!<BR/><BR/>Okay, here's my question for la belle Cecile:<BR/><BR/>"How do French people nail someone as American so easily?"<BR/><BR/>It's, like, so unfair! I can be wearing 100% French-bought clothes, a French haircut, and before I even open my mouth, sales clerks or waiters address me in English more often than not. If this keeps up I may revert to wearing New Balance sneakers, thick socks, and LLBean outfits on rainy days in Paris, instead of trying for Le Look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29487945.post-78078425253218746762008-01-30T10:56:00.000-05:002008-01-30T10:56:00.000-05:00Is it true that French women like middle aged, sli...Is it true that French women like middle aged, slightly balding, Irish American men?Panic in New Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505679818581209654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29487945.post-30140668790239295622008-01-30T10:24:00.000-05:002008-01-30T10:24:00.000-05:00what language do the french think sounds exotic? ...what language do the french think sounds exotic? seeing as i think anything in french sounds delicous even if someone is telling you to go $#!@ yourself.phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669096127325145722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29487945.post-28488517629535227882008-01-30T09:45:00.000-05:002008-01-30T09:45:00.000-05:00I bablefish it- helps with the general gistI bablefish it- helps with the general gistMisplacedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03320113457252429472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29487945.post-18332242551478277972008-01-30T09:26:00.000-05:002008-01-30T09:26:00.000-05:00Hm.

I tried to read her blog but my Francais is so low-level that I was reduced to picking out words I know and wondering what kind of slant I should attach to them. I think I got the first paragraph. It took twenty minutes but I think I got it. I shall commence with parisian ponderings forthwith. I have no idea where that sentence came from. Where the hell are some oreos? I need some oreos.<BR/><BR/>Got oreos in paris? Nah, I didn't really think you did.Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454832927860410268noreply@blogger.com
