Located just a stone's throw from the Louvre, Chantal Thomass is a divine little shop filled to the brim with Parisian unmentionables. Have a look at their delightful window. I'm sure this window stops traffic on a daily basis.

ReplyDeleteI always wonder who actually wears these undies. Probably someone rich, svelte, and very confident. It does look oh so French, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteOoh La La indeed! :)

Oh là là, yet another misuse of the expression.
ReplyDeleteFIgMince, I don't doubt you as I'm not much of a French speaker, but I googled this and never saw it spelled another way. Perhaps others can explain?

Bonjour V.
ReplyDeleteOh, là, là is right, but you need the accents on the *a.* It is ok to use it as a caption, even though the French (unlike the Americans,) probably use the expression less often when a risqué context is involved :-) They might say it to express surprise ("Oh, là, là, it's freezing today!" or disappointment, ("Oh là là, our team got creamed!")
"Voilà" is a bit the same thing. More emphatic in the United States, as in "Ta-Da, here I am!" while in France, it is more used to say: "Here you are!" As in "Pass me the salt please" -- "Voilà."
Since your readers are mostly English speakers. I think you picked right. Hope this helps.
