Joie de Vivre!

Manolo says, under the buffoonish exterior hides the brute sexuality of the inflamed tiger.

Update!

Depardieu: The Beast Within!

Manolo says, the Manolo’s internet friend the Mimi she has called the Manolo’s attention to the most amusing picture of the Depardieu, one which brings to the mind the much more famous wildlife picture.

Sadly, this first photo it is perhaps not safe for your place of employment, nor maybe for your recently eaten lunch.

So, after this stern warning, if you still wish to see these two comparative photos…


The question, of the course, is does he shave or wax?

    Where is he- Peru? Also, I’m disturbed by that spiky thing he is holding.

    He’s like a sexy, Peruvian, mace-wielding tiger.

    I’ve always thought so.

    Only the Depardieu could look so self-assured and comfortable in such an outfit. That is the spirit of sexy. He has my vote!

    Well…it takes all kinds, I suppose. Depardieu does not a thing for me. http://www.tmz.com/photos/bad-asses/123784/

    Ha! Mimi has made the Manolo gasp and then laugh out loud!

    The photo she has referenced, does it not remind one of this equally famous photo?

    The appeal of Gerard Depardieu is something that has always baffled me. He looks like a demented Peruvian version of the Cat in the Hat.

    Aw, the Gerard can Depardieu me anytime.

    the desertwind must respond to the links of the Mimi and the Manolo!

    (a) the Depardieu has quite a respectable ass for the big man.

    and (b) You know what they say about a man with a big foot!

    If we did not know of his great work -would we still see him in such glowing terms. I think the answer is yes he has a confident smile and loves life.

    The Manolo made me laugh out loud, as well. I’m undecided as to which I find more attractive, and Depardieu or the Bigfoot. Close call.

    No amount of poor photography can dim my admiration for the great Gerard Depardieu. Look how he swings along w/the confidence beyond his physical merit. It is the esprit that is everything, & he has got IT in my livre de mecs chauds, bien sur!
    I like him best in 18th C period costume, though. Quel artiste!

    “Shave or wax” – does it really matter?

    His crack has been branded Prada Sport. Apparently La Miuccia approves.

    Hey ! I am a French girl ( nice site by the way) ! But the title of your article should have been “joie de vivRe” not “vive” coz that word just doesn’t exist!lol

    Well, what a pretty site! This gave me a good laugh first thing this morning! :-)

    It’s not what’s on the outside that counts, right? Great guy and I like his confidence!

  16. Manolo the Shoeblogger January 12, 2007 at 12:01 pm #

    Ayyyyyy! Once again the Manolo’s ability as the speller have failed him!

    Many thanks to the French Girl Daphne for the correction.

    Je loves the Gerard Dippydoo.
