IT just so happens that my husband and I have been in a viewing cycle of french films a la Netflix...watching Romantics Anonymous to name our favorite:) We noticed that the French actors weren't "attractive" in the American Hollywood sense, but incredibly handsome as persons with character and almost a sense of intrigue! Must be the "une belle laide"! thanks for this!<br />MargoMargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17853644004346868667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770521116597973055.post-74742262922102575882013-04-25T07:54:41.793-11:002013-04-25T07:54:41.793-11:00THank you, Ana.

I don't think I have a personal style, unless you can call "garage sale and thrift store" a style. At 4'10 and (ahem) ###pounds, it is very difficult to find clothes that fit. I am vertically challenged and horizontally gifted!<br /><br />But, besides that, I am intrigued by your blog because you are Maronite. My husband is a Roman Catholic deacon and iconographer, so we are familiar with many of the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church, including the Maronites. Anyway, I am happy to have found you and am looking forward to catching up with your blog and reading your future posts! Come by and visit me at Home In Douglas!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02647220453777040327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770521116597973055.post-81242059818939489492013-04-24T12:35:23.699-11:002013-04-24T12:35:23.699-11:00Very interesting, Mary.
