Still learning French, still none the wiser

Ok, so I have no clue what the fuck is being said in this Cafe Mode post. Actually that’s not strictly true, it’s got something to do with Le Festival de Hyères 2008 and featured in the frame below, Louise est étudiante en histoire de l’Art.

Even Westwood as a reject everything, and fuck what I don’t know can get the fucking skinny from that. And knowing that Louise is a History of Art student is enough, you see the mechanics of life are hidden within paying attention to such details. I know a little about Art, but not enough to be interesting… what is interesting though is that on the way to catch a train out of Florence I decided that ‘one simply must’ visit the Uffizi, so myself and the betty I was with, scampered through the gallery until we stood before the Birth Of Venus in genuine awe. Can you say you have experienced awe, fuck off can you. Unless you’ve stood before that painting sweating and breathing like you just made the beast with two backs, back to back or witnessed the birth of a child, and I mean smelt placenta, you haven’t got a fucking idea. We then bolted back through the gallery and collapsed on the right side of sliding doors in a train station, and looked at one another forever changed. True story. That is why Louise with those impossibly hip heels, barely hidden getaway sticks and glasses that make all the cool kids go ‘you fly’ would dig everything STNF.

Enjoy…
