My French alter ego is Genevieve and she has helped me shed almost 40 lbs over the course of the last year. LOL that statement actually makes me laugh. It sounds as though I'm schizophrenic and I suppose I am a bit these days, my Irish self wants to indulge in scones, but my French self says, non et non!!<br /><br />A wonderful week to you!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09333985379774001616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-33634575017602510292010-01-24T20:55:26.593-08:002010-01-24T20:55:26.593-08:00My real name is actually of French origin, but sin...My real name is actually of French origin, but since its my real name I think it cannot be the same as my inner french girl's name.

I also bought her two later ones at different times but the ones you have are the best.<br /><br />I have called myself Fifi L'Amour for years just for fun but she's more a flirty cabaret dancer. I shall have to think of a proper Inner French Girl name (Fifi L'Amour just encourages bad behaviour).

I am writing a mystery novel and am currently putting the finishing touches on it (am a little behind schedule though :) <br /><br />Michael- LOL we have all had one of those nights!<br /><br />Hostess- Silk pajamas are definitely something your chic alter ego would approve of. Funny you say that because I actually went through my pajama drawer two days ago and got rid of everything that wasn't suitable!<br /><br />Oshiya- You would like her books- they are less 'commercial' than French Women Don't Get Fat. They are a little hard to find though. I think the prices are inflated on Amazon so I would suggest buying them through her website. She also writes a little personal note when she sends them to you.<br /><br />Rebecca- Hmmmm.... Rosemarie? Roxanne? LOL This is fun. Let me know when you come up with one :)<br /><br />Josephine- LOL I wish that was me! (minus the cigarette, of course). Oh I think a French alter ego would suit you well...but I know what you mean- it could get to be like Mulholland Drive :)<br /><br />Rose- I love both of those names! Just imagine asking yourself "What would Camille do?" lol<br /><br />Bonjour Madame- She is really good fun isn't she?<br /><br />BigLittleWolf- Yes, I thought that picture summed up my French Alter Ego aptly :) And yes Louboutins are a requirement!<br /><br />M. Lane- LOL. Louis Jourdan- what a great alter ego. I think adding a last name is a great idea. It solidifies it, you know. Hmm. What would mine be? Jeanne de Rochefort perhaps? :)The Daily Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843902889491327636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-74206965636894121022010-01-20T06:21:15.579-08:002010-01-20T06:21:15.579-08:00I think Louis Jourdan will be my alter ego name!
