Menton Daily Photo: Chocolate

24 March 2010

Chocolate

Ventimiglia, Italy - across the border from Menton.

'I have this theory that chocolate slows down the aging process.... It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance?'

This is an intruiging but very beautiful portrait, Jilly. I love the palette that you have chosen, and yes, your subject did most of the chosing.

The intruige comes from the hair and the hands. Neither appear to be as aged as the visage. She has a very fulsome head of hair.

A dessert well coordinated with her outfit, that's what I call classy!

Another lovely portrait of yours, Jilly!

Yes, remember the wonderful Jeanne Calment who lived to be 122 and the oldest woman in the world!

According to Wikipedia:
"She ascribed her longevity and relatively youthful appearance for her age to olive oil, which she said she poured on all her food and rubbed onto her skin, as well as a diet of port wine, and nearly one kilo of chocolate eaten every week."

Mother said you should look at yourself in a full length mirror to see if you are old or young. It works for me.

This lady looks like she started eating chocolate way too late in life. The color matches her and the outfit she wears.

What a marvelous portrait! I would love to get to know her and learn about her life. The brown tones in the photo complement the quote beautifully.

Cette photo est fabuleuse. Je me demande quel âge a cette dame. Elle est presque de la même couleur que son chocolat.
