What can I say, that won't get me slammed by Now Public's Female Readers?
Yeah, we have all seen the the West bank ladies in their Jaunty Red Beret, tight Black Slit Skirt, and form fitting red and black striped sweater made stereotypical of French women, taking a long drag off a Gitane, sitting crossed legged outside sidewalk Cafes in cinema and art house indie flicks.
French women are so much more, though not all look like one time sexpot Brigette Bardot or Classic Catherine Deneuve, you have to admit, they do turn heads, even in old French Quebec, particularly Montreal and Quebec City.
French women are a breed apart, No Bingo Stretch Pants, Flashdance Gym wear and Flip Flops to go to the corner store, No Siree, French women, much like all European women dress to the "Nines", just for the hell of it!
European Women, make good use what God Gave them, regardless of shape or size, femininity and feminism co-exist nicely.
Having lived, worked, visited in most countries in Western Europe, the Med, and Moscow over 20 years. I have to say after meeting and dating European women all, that for me the Netherlands Ladies win "Hands Down", with Moscow and Greece followed by Denmark and Norway, with Paris last. But then that's me!
To each his own.
And for North American ladies who wish to visit Europe, the European Men can boast an equal diversity of Man Candy too.
There is a good reason why Europe have Crowded Vehicle Round a Bouts, that way you get a second look, second time around.
"Bon Appetit !" Travelers~!!
French president Nicholas Sarkozy is trying to get his compatriots to adapt a more American mentality. But a new book by a speech writer for one of his key ministers could undermine his efforts. With the publication of his Guide des jolies femmes de Paris (Guide to the Pretty Women of Paris), Pierre-Louis Colin, a 34-year-old speech writer for Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, who also co-authored Mr. Kouchner's last book, has given a royal raspberry to AmericanÂ-style political correctness.
Using the premise that Paris's legendary beautiful women are as big a draw as the Eiffel Tower or the more two-dimensional Mona Lisa, Mr. Colin's guide offers visitors advice on the best neighbourhoods, metro lines and observation points to scope out jolies Parisiennes, anatomical part by anatomical part.
"Just as every region has its gastronomy, every quarter has its feminine speciality," Mr. Colin writes in defense of his 190-page guide book written in a pseudo-Barthes' literary essay form.
If you're a leg man, he suggests you head to the Madeleine on the Right Bank. For cleavage admirers, he recommends the rue Montorgueil in the first arrondissement. "You do not find in Ménilmontant the sublime legs you see at the Madeleine. But you do find perfectly shameless cleavages," he writes.
