We’d all be as free as the French girl if we looked like her, right? The stereotypical French girl is often insolently thin, casually chic and fashionable despite a simple wardrobe. With or without makeup, she’s often imbued with natural elegance and an elusive distance that is particularly, maddeningly French. But this stereotype obscures delicious paradoxes about the French girl and her body. Yes, she does have an exasperating tendency to be thin. Reams have been written trying to decode the mystery of a people who smoke, drink, eat goose fat, and still look fabulous. But in reality, the French girl comes in a multitude of styles and body shapes, and whatever her figure, she often looks remarkable or just plain sexy. Lively and intelligent, Entre Nous explores the world of the French girl and the essence of French living, in all its many expressions. |
