I agree…the baggy pants on the first, and the heavy thighs on the second give them away. And, both being buried in their phones. Carol; end the suspense. French or faux??
How do I know 😄 But pretty obvious. Most Frenchies do not doll up like that for Saturday shopping in Chanel suits head-to-toe looks 👎 Strictly out-of-towners. Russian? So blonde 👱
Marmattan was one of our favorite places in Paris. Such a surprise to see the Monet paintings. Weren’t they donated by Monet’s son? The upstairs with Napoleon era items was very interesting too. It may be different now. We were there 10 years ago.
Thank you for transporting me along the same route to MM on a similar sunny day in 2019. I managed to photograph the same park kiosk without the scolding hand but missed the donkeys. What an inventive idea for a show just ahead of the Olympics. The Delaunay is a knockout. And our American painters don't look too shabby, do they, in such Frenchie company.
Don’t worry. I was so wearing the WRONG THING with my blue workman jacket & stripped shirt 🙄 Not that I have a pleated mini skirt in the back of my closet…but the French can turn the switch to Summer clothes so fast you don’t know what hit you. I didn’t show the girl in the sleeveless long white pique dress with sandals
Your rowers remind me of The Boys on The Boat..we enjoyed it.Love Renoir's sailboats..Cannot guess if they are Parisiennes or not ..and thick thighs? Really?I saw all types of designer labels in Paris and continue to.I've painted enough backs of people in France to know people come in all shapes and sizes even in France.
I visit Marmottan on any trip to Paris. There is a wonderful permanent exhibit of illuminated manuscripts on the ground floor - they were of special interest to one of the family members who funded the museum, if I recall correctly. Calligraphy extraordinaire!
What a great idea for an exhibition during the JO!
ReplyDeleteExactly Kiwi
DeleteTheir intent I’m sure👍
Definitely Not Parisiennes in first picture with all those designer labels

ReplyDeleteThere is still plenty of Napoleonic stuff upstairs. I didn’t linger. Went straight to their excellent gift 🎁 shop to browse.
DeleteThe pink crocheted purse - very unFrench
DeleteThe Marmottan is a gem. Great theme for this Olympics year. Love the Courbet, extraordinary!
ReplyDeleteA wild painting 🎨 from Courbet.

ReplyDeleteYeah us Américaines were well-represented. Nice to see 👍
DeleteUgh, seeing the lewks makes me side eye the hoodies and jeans I'm still choosing to wear whenever I need to run to the grocery store!

I was on a rowing team on the Schuylkill River back in the 60's but closer to Conshohocken. Low class team. LOL
