What a nice shot with the name in the forefront and what it means in the background. Very nicely done.

I'm more excited now then ever because I just might be within the realm of "average" for French women by the time I get there!!! Wait, I guess that depends on what average is for the most beautiful ladies on the planet. But I definately look forward to spending way more money than is wise on a fun shopping trip with you! Assuming my enthusiasm, girliness, and running all over the place doesn't irritate you after only a couple hours!<BR/><BR/>coltrane, I know what you mean. Can't go putting in all the fancy accents and whatnot if I can't even type properly in English most of the time! I'll be watching out for Michael. If his head starts to look like its getting bigger from his diva status then I'll be sure to get another shopping guide!!!<BR/><BR/>Petrea, when I do use the fancy non-English letters, or anything not commonly found on a QWERTY (such as ¥¾œ˿•☺) I use the character map that comes with Windows. Well, I use it for ones I don't have memorized anyway. In Vista it's found under accessories/system tools ont he start menu. I can't remember where it was on previous versions of Windows, but I do remember it was easier to find. It's a handy tool and has the codes for every character you could possibly want along with the option to just select and copy the character instead of constantly typing Alt+236 or whatever.Sashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05231958721986979723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-28499091844744420302008-08-12T18:28:00.000+02:002008-08-12T18:28:00.000+02:00Petrea, try Alt+128 for a Ç,then mess around with ...Petrea, try <B>Alt+128</B> for a Ç,<BR/>then mess around with the different numbers 130, 131, 132, 133, etc and you'll get a variety of accents/characters.Michael Salonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294866381143537391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-56041613366216558832008-08-12T18:14:00.000+02:002008-08-12T18:14:00.000+02:00Guille!

That was a cold spring, but everything was fascinating from the Louvre to the Marmottan and the shops and the boulangerie on the Rue Cler. And every person we met was quite friendly and could even understand our little bit of French! I look forward to seeing more of your photos. And to returning to Paris and perhaps venturing down to Avignon just so that I can sing "Sur le pont de Avignon" in the proper setting.S Garanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382395718128166145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-28992337926381748912008-08-12T14:27:00.000+02:002008-08-12T14:27:00.000+02:00Not just clothing designers, but hair stylists, ma...Not just clothing designers, but hair stylists, make-up artists, chefs -- why so few famous women in these arts?
