L'étincelle

Can you see it?

The infinite space between the two nipples
(ugh, i don't like that word at all).

And then you get this:

La noyade

I have a strange feeling of drowning

and longing for somebody

to rescue me.

Despite the fact this is not really my generation,

i still really like it.

le mythe des chats

I have one.

She bites, roars, rolls up and hisses.

But i love her.

l'armure moderne

Everybody needs something to create

the illusion of protection.

It could be a phone, a jacket,

sunglasses or make-up.

Without it, we feel insecure and naked.

What about you?

Bérénice

"Pour jamais! Ah! Seigneur, songez-vous en vous-même
Combien ce mot est affreux quand on aime?
Dans un mois, dans un an, combien souffrirons-nous,
Seigneur que tant de mers me séparent de vous?
Que le jour recommence et que le jour finisse
Sans que jamais Titus puisse voir Bérénice...
Sans que de tout le jour je puisse voir Titus!"

Acte IV, Scène V
Bérénice, de Jean Racine

One is from the 19th century,

the other from the 21st century.

Is there any difference?

le crâne vide

Hair has always been of great importance for women. Long hair is not only seen as a sex symbol, but it is a sign of wealth as well. This is why deliberately shaving your hair off is being perceived as refusal of society. The most famous example is Britney Spears. However, she was not the only one: Angeline Jolie shaved her hair off as well. To me, women with no hair have a singular beauty which is a bit otherwordly. But: "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", so see for yourself!

So,what do you think?
