"Whispering" by Thibault Foubert from OhMyProd! on Vimeo.
The video is about Isaac, a young American journalist in Paris who has problems
meeting women. Tonight, however, he was set up on a blind date with a young
French actress by a co worker and the action in the video takes place in a Parisian
restaurant.
As you know the best women in the world are French women. Ask any
Frenchman. Full disclosure – I had a Montréal girlfriend when I was young who I met in the
Winston Churchill pub on Crescent Street in downtown Montréal. At the time, I was trying to seduce expat American
transfer students from McGill University posing as an exotic Coureur de Bois spouting Sartre and
Proust while sipping Absinthe in the smoky environs of
the bar and keeping an eye out for spies from the Office Québécois
de la langue Française, the little Canadian brother of the French, Commission
Générale de Terminologie et de Néologie who were watching for Anglo predations
on the language of Molière.

Guiliano was
raised in Alsace and Provence, Sorbonne educated and is now married to an
American. Spending most of her time in New York, she teaches the virtues of
portion control, fresh food and variety of meals. Now French women are not only
trim but also master mothers whose well behaved offspring are a joy to behold.
This book answers such questions as why French babies sleep through the night,
why do French children eat what they are given, how French mothers chat while
their children play quietly and why French mothers wear skinny jeans instead of
tracksuits. This is the latest in a long line of perfect French women books.

Hello, a look at my blog stats revealed readers coming from your blog so I thought I'd head on over and see what was cooking!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind mention, and I realise you must be the audience I have from this part of the world (which had me flummoxed).
Best wishes
