What is it about Italians? Just look at this beautiful vivacious Italian woman eating at La Pergola on the beach in Menton - a recommended restaurant, by the way. Of course she can't speak without using her hands. Isn't she marvellous?

Que dire au sujet des Italiens? Il suffit de regarder cette belle et vive femme italienne qui mange à La Pergola sur la plage de Menton - un restaurant reputé à juste titre. Bien sûr, elle ne peut pas parler sans utiliser ses mains. N'est-elle pas merveilleuse?
BRAVO!
ReplyDeleteA great portrait, and a great model!
.... so much LIFE in your image!
I think she needs this book: http://www.amazon.com/Curly-Girl-Handbook-Lorraine-Massey/dp/076115678X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305182157&sr=8-1
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, I agree. Great portrait and such a lively presence.
Janet, love the curly hair book.I always think it must be so easy to have curly hair - you don't have to do anything!
ReplyDeleteI can identify more with this portrait of an animated woman more than I can with the beautiful, but unsmiling woman on your other blog.
ReplyDeleteI think she would be more Italian if her elbows were straightened more when she gestures while talking. Perhaps she felt she had to be more reserved while she is in France.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly is and I love love her hair!

ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. You are right about everything. Her beauty. Her animation. Her speaking with her hands. Great shot.
