LJ Idol: Open Topic

Sometimes days go by and no one comes. Weeks even.

That's the way of it, these days.

Les Américains no longer revere our fashion esthétique the way they once did. de Vise, Doucat, Paquin...these names mean nothing to les Américains any more. Even Chanel must compete with the Gap and Wal-Mart.

Odious, Wal-Mart is. But what can one do? C' ( Read more... )

Okay, now you're just making me feel bad.

This was such a wonderful, melancholy compliment to mine. Thank you so much for being my partner!

I can totally hear her accent in this! Really quite sad, nostalgic. I enjoyed the different perspective you offered to i_17bingo 's entry

Thank you! I just hope the French is valid - I don't speak it. I tried to keep the phrases short so that babelfish didn't have to do anything too complicated lol.

I liked yours a lot, and were it just yours alone, I'd vote for it in a heartbeat, as I've voted for you pretty much every week you've ever been in LJI. But I found your partner's so offensive that I'm waiting to see whether he can redeem himself before deciding whether I can vote for you or not (this being a team thing, a vote for you is also a vote for him). I started a discussion on his post, if you're curious as to why I feel the way I do.

I read through the dialogue, and I will tell you what I told him -

You're both good people, and both passionate people. I can see both sides of the argument. I am Switzerland. :)

As far as voting, that's on your conscience - I love you neither more nor less regardless of your choosing to vote or not. If you choose not, for moral reasons, I can respect that. At the end of the day, it's just a silly competition.

As someone who's taken lots of French, I really imagined the accent going along with this and enjoyed that aspect.

Nicely done!

I don't speak French at all, so I'm glad to have your seal of approval. :)
