Final touch about crepes

(Jérôme, I wanted to post all your pics and brilliant demonstration but -coughing- I deleted them in less time than I wanted! booooo :( )

Soo, most of you already know everything about my crepes last week (almost 50 comments about my bloody crepes on FB! food sells more than sex, it's a fact!)

After a big failure (see picture #1) ...

I've got Krysalia's recipe, the one from her grand-ma, the one that never fails! (wooohoooo)
So I try it, first crepe... ahum.... (see pic #2)
But then, a miracle, it worked (see pic #3)

and finally, oh finally, I've got happy devils (see pic #4)



Thank you so much miss Krysalia!

edit:
So generous, Jérôme also offered to help me with his own recipe. I've got hundreds of explicit pics (in case words would be slightly too complicated for me :P)... Including a pic of a beer, for a lil break (I should have thought about that!!!)

Yet, despite my gatitude for so much help, I'm happy I did not make any crepes with such big black holes!!! :P

Heaven in my plate (no crêpes involved :P)

*Langoustines poêlées sur riz coco et jus de crustacé au curry rouge*

that's what I've had yesterday (outside, not home made!) and I think could die for it again and again and again!

Christmas can feel damn good!

I've just received my own private advent calendar (Christa, Achim! thank you!!!) and this one rocks!



Look at it this way, I'm gonna start all my December days with a schnapps! LOL



wooohooo!

Don't touch my body (huhu)

the *body touch* or how to make a a beautiful woman just ugly!

Yeah well, it's been weeks since I've had this VERY IMPORTANT mental note about these tights.

Gotta be girlie sometimes!
("sometimes"!)




Hey guys, for a full view, it's right here :P

There's been so much publicity about them. Can't believe they sell something that ugly... hoping we girls can imagine we will feel supa comfortable AND sexy with these tights on!
Well ya know... there is some point, some limit you must not cross when it comes to comfort & sexyness.
This point is when an item is so "not sexy" that it will feel uncomfortable whatever you do. You know? no, ha well. lol. Just believe me!

PS: now tell me, do you find it sexy or is it me?

Final countdown

Just one week before I shout dirty german & english words with my *dirty* buddies!

The mask

So I've been a nurse for hmm 10 days now.
Well, I've been sick too in between but who cares when "nurses" get sick.

The babes are still coughing but they're ok. Martin is recovering now from the *popular flu*. I'm sick of it. Sick of hearing about it. Sick of people asking what it feels to get "the flu", people who feels proud to have *the* flu, sick of the media, sick of the paranoia. (told you I was sick!)



For Martin it's been a bit harder... well you know how most men are when they're sick, don't you? Death is not far -for whom the bell tolls-, etc.


Anyway, after high temp and lots of coughing, Martin's feeling better (He does not seem to know it, but I do! lol)

yeeepeeee!

The surprise-surprise lunch

So there he was! Jérôme was in Paris on Thursday and I was not to miss him!
He joined for a quick lunch. No sparkling water allowed, naturally. Bretonie powa! :P

Next time (really soon I'm sure :P) the Parisian gang must join (Mel, Gijs, Lune, etc!)
Mel' we tried to reach you on time but... it did not work and we couldn't drink anymore beer :D

edit: I got that pic from my partner in crime to illustrate that post. huhu (I think of my reputation as a beer drinker: a disaster!) I tried to *floutch* the beer holder, but I'm not sure I'm very anonymous...

Like mother, like daughter

Lola's first real boots! :P

they rock! I think I want the same :D

Lola and Victoria

I know that lil girls always have that dream of turning into a real princess some day.
Same with Lola.
My plan is to keep repeating her she's already a princess so she can even have different dreams if she wants.

But Lola sticks to the princess stuff.

She saw *Victoria* (non je ne matte pas la roue de la fortune, oh!) earlier today, and explained to her papa: "I want to look like her because she has long hair. And because she's pretty. Like mom" ... Ha les yeux de l'amour! :)



Then Lola concentrated and added: "I think her name is (she told it in English): ....Girl !!! LOL that was the best, the most brilliant conclusion. My clever lil princess :)

Love story

My boots and I.
It's getting colder and colder, and I'm just getting higher! The season's back for real boots. I've counted them, I have 12 pairs of them. Finally, it's not that much (shrugging). (that's what I thought, I need more!)

Among the series under, 2 pairs found in the US, 1 in Italy and one in France.
3 of my favorite pairs are among them. Which pair is the one I could wear everyday? Which one I almost never wear? Which is your favorite?

(yeah I know, you're so bored to death that you might even play my lil game)

Under (big) construction, part 2

It's funny because this new collage... I've worked on it since, I dunno, a month maybe. The ideas, the composition, the colours, the papers. Now I feel like a *shaker*, gotta mix everything to get the best cocktail.

It takes time.

I finished a big part with the acrylic colours. But that is like putting the first liquor in the cocktail! lol



I hope my 4 canvas will be done by the end of the week. I'm getting back to them now. It's always a bit scary (I never know what will happen next) but so exciting.

You give me fever

oh I wish! ... but not this way

The babes have been sick since the beginning of the week...



... and I, who never ever get sick, gets high fever now!


(photo réalisée sans trucage! m'enfin!)

pfff... Tomorrow morning I have like 3 hours of hard training with one of the worst (=best, hardest) trainer. I won't miss it.

I'll sleep in the afternoon with my babes. They both seem to feel better, which is good since they start to behave like wild lions caught in a cage here.

Ok, I had planed to tell you what a good time I've had yesterday with Gontran and his gang (the hot wine & irish coffee too), how happy I am that my painting, la grande Bouffe, is now in such good hands (happy sigh), that I've had so much fun today with body combat...

But I'm so kinda broken that I have no energy left to talk about all that.

hm... if you want to have a good excuse to not go to work on monday, just join us for a Sunday nap, you'll get infected, I swear it

In the darkness of the night,...

...when I get back to my brushes and colours and papers (like just right now)... silence would kill my inspiration.

I need inspiring notes, always.

One of the new projects

...under construction.

This one will be a collage, actually 4... one piece made of 4 different boards. I know what shall be in it, the theme, the ideas, the lil messages (=my personal touches), now gotta work on the composition of it.

For collages, the biggest part is all the preparation before, it's close to mathematics. You gotta be very careful, patient, gotta anticipate everything about the piece of paper you will use (its transformation or not, position, role, etc). There must be some kind of logic, even if you want to represent chaos. At least it work this way for me.


(mes p'tits papiers, hundreds, zillions of them)

And as I mentioned on FB, I found extra inspiration with the rocking Prokofiev. That does matter!



(hey boys, dance with swords if you want, just do not wear tights! It's a matter of ... *everything*! :P)

What do you do if...

someone has a heart-attack in front of you. You hurry to help and discover this tattoo... do you just stop and say ok, that's what this old lil woman want, shrugs and wait... or do you fight for her life, against her volunty.

I guess we want to respect her choice, but in the facts, I'm not sure I wouldn't try to help. And then you have to determine what "resuscitate" means really... bringing someone back from Death? So when the heart stops for a few minutes, can we consider the person's dead?

huhu

Don't get this tat', it makes things complicate! :P

needs you help!

it's not too late, I can still make a soup for my sick devils today.
But a soup to me is... adding disgusting powder to boiling water.

I decided I'd be a real cooking mama for once... so just tell me how I do? I think I tried last year, once... you just throw whatever vegetables in boiling water and just wait for a miracle to happen? yeah?

ok, I'll do it this way, sounds like soup-ish enough.



(Clever girls above! Which lady would want that soup anyway! :D)

...ok, now let's see how the kitchen and I can work together.

Les Halles on high heels etc.

Today was Lola and I's day.

After sport, I took Lola to les Halles.. where we had a really *girls they just wanna have fun* time.

That was perfect. During the whole week I did not feel so good, physically speaking. Really "weak", yeah that's the word. Very bad nights, belly aches, headaches, etc. Well, except during the training sessions where I found some hidden energy.

But today, I've started to feel better. I was surprised:)
(conclusion... shopping & health are obviously linked :P)

My shopping quest? ... I was looking for a leather jacket, a black one. Found it. And a pullover, so warm and comfortable :)

But the best part was Lola and I being very girlie! trying shoes, clothes, make up, icecreams, strawberries and mascarpone, etc.


click here

hehe yeah that was fookin good. A precious moment with my lovely shrimpette (who has just caught the *shoes virus*, all my fault!)

When work leads me to strange lands

You know that song, Venus in Fur, well... I had no idea it came from a book!
And that... the author of that book gave his name to masochism!

Wait wait, I'm not into it (well I could be, that wouldn't be a problem)... but the thing is that if there's one Venus I've always wanted to paint... it's this one.

So I bought the book. I gotta read it to *feel* the character. I cross my bits though, I don't want her to be too bad, too hard, too cold, too much a (literally) pain in the ass :P



Well, now if anyone had read it before... that would save me precious time :P

Petit Plaisir

Oh fook, it's past midnight and I haven't eaten yet! (sigh) (shaking head) boo ooooo

anyway, who cares! (but my stomach)

so there is this song, by Chris Cornell (ex Audioslave)... I often hear it on my radio, and it is so much a JAMES BOND song. So sexy. I really loved Casino Royal and really hated Quantum...

Well anyway, it's stuck in my mind since a few days. Who cares? but my ears :)

The ultimate plan for tomorrow

is .... not trying to explain war to Lola. She kept crying the whole evening thinking about her grand grand-father who died there, the other one who was prisoner, etc.
That happened after we saw a WW1 commemoration in front of the city hall. Just explained her it was to remember about those who died at war.

That was enough to break her lil heart! :(
She said she would pray for the Dead (that was my other shock of the day)... how come she gets such a strange idea! lol
But of course I let her do so.

Anyway.. the ultimate plan for tomorrow is:



je fais ma belle au bois dormant si je veux d'abord! :P

I'm raide dead today.
Well I know, I somehow work too much (lol, but I never sell enough of course!), I work too late, and, right ... I just make too much sport.

Tomorrow, no sport, I'm being reasonable, see:)

As for work, I've just finished two paintings on Sunday. I'm being offered a place to make an exhibition in the 9th district, whenever I want. So cool! But I gotta find the time to think about it.

My big big weakness: I keep creating, can't stop. The "white page" syndrome that the writers can get... I don't have it. AT ALL! lol... Lots of paintings, collages are already made in my mind. Just have to find the time to make them on the canvas!

I like Life this way anyway. I need to run, to feel days are too short and same with nights.

(shrugging)

Watta big boy!

I know, I know the whole world is not so much ready for this piece of news but...: my baby boy PEES like a real man!



I noticed it in the early morning... he was standing, talking to me, and peeing!

I called Martin, that was so moving (to me! lol)! I kept telling Loup he was such a big boy, when Martin added that yeah he was a big boy, peeing about everywhere around!

tssss (shrugging)

Changing topic, kinda, my big boy found a new cat for the family in Bretonie...



He decided the cat was a girl and her name would be *chatoncâlindamour*! Such a big boy!!! :-) :-)

Shhhht... just take off your sweater! -for Christ's sake-

Soooo... on Sunday, we visited my sister and grand-ma.

My beloved grand-mother is MUCH into God stuff.

She does not know how much I don't believe anymore, and I find it useless to tell her. I don't want to break her heart, you know. I love her so much.

Anyway, when we went out of the car, I noticed Martin's sweater....

No kidding, a cross with a devil on it! (yummy)



me: "Martin, you can't see my grand-ma with this sweater, she's gonna have a heart-attack!!!!"

Martin: "so what do I do, huh?"

me: "you just take it off of course"

Martin: "but it's 4°C !!!"

Me: "So???" .. lol... "ok, ok, you keep crossing your arms whenever my grand-ma stands in front of you, right?"

And Martin did it. Was so nice of him. My sister and brother-in-law couldn't stop laughing while I was fighting to focus my grand-mother's attention on anything but Martin!

hey, grand-mothers are precious!!! I've only one left! :)

PS: by the way, I do LOVE Danzig! lol

Pink vs Black

My shrimpette is so delicate, such a lil lady! I'm sooo kinda the opposite. lol

But I confess I do enjoy letting Lola follow her own inspiration. I think lil girls need to construct themselves and feeling like a princess is very important. That's the way every woman should feel anyway.

I've never felt this way when I was a lil one... But with Lola's help, I'm just improving everyday :)

Dessiner c'est (pas) gagné

I just had to put this pic, because... when Lola had her birthday last month, we had this little moment, couldn't stop laughing.

Loup, you know can be really bad-tempered. And when we started this game ("guess what I'm drawing") for Lola's friends, it was just too frustrating for Loup. He had to play.

So, right, of course we let him do so.

He concentrated a lot, then started drawing.



Lola's friends made huge efforts trying to guess. Nobody found and Loup refused to tell us the answer (what a stubborn lil one!)

..hehe... any idea??

Tonight's the night

I'm updating my bloggie!

That was too much a quickie in Bretonie

4 days in Bretonie are not really enough to make a real break, but I won't complain ;-)
For 2 days, it's been so sunny and warm, we had bbqs, naps in the sun, and then when the weather was a bit less cooperative, we could work in the hobbit house :)

The kids had the time of their life with their cousins! Martin was just the happiest with his trees and good tobacco to enjoy in the sunset...

..and I, oh my best moment was when I couldn't sleep on Saturday morning. It was 5.00, then 6.00am... finally 7.00 when I jumped into my training shoes while the house was sleeping. I spent 15 long minutes swearing because it was still dark outside. Finally by 7.15am I was out -in the storm, in the rain, still in the darkness- ... running. And running. Loading my boiling batteries.
Oh yeah!
Been literally dancing among the falling leaves! (I had music with me, of course :P).

I worried that when I was running on the roads, the cars would not see me really. But there were no cars! :)

I could have run 3 hours I think. Stopped way before, just for lack of time. Fantastic moment. Martin thinks he only got the confirmation that I'm crazy. But hey, days are seriously so short! can't waste time.

From Bretonie with love

just a quickie...

..from a very sunny Bretagne! I'm spending a couple of days around here, breathing fresh air, drinking... not sparkling water.

The devils are having the time opf their life. That is so good!

Tomorrow my sister will join us and the family, that will be kewl. A funny Halloween to come.

I gotta work too, might do it if it ever rains.

My Austrian customer (who bought "envie de Sue Shee") received it and was so happy. His warm feed back really made my day. Was very tempted with my political collages. Very motivating. :)

Ha well, I hope you're all doing well!
Cheeers!

Just can't translate this DEVILISH one!

Ok, this has to be in French, because it's Loup speaking and that's precisely the way he speaks that is fun!

Loup, when he plays with cards, doesn't talk of the jester ("joker"), not even of le fou du roi...

... but le fou du RAT !!!



Well, hehe... given the fact I'm not into King's stuff, Not into President's stuff, not into anything close to politics stuff... I'll let Loup using these words. Besides, that makes cards' games really fun!

Beauty & the Beast

is my new painting. There are themes that comes back regularly now in my paintings... it's not that I'm used to these themes, just can't get enough of them! Religion, Power, Freedom, Liberty, Sensuality, Fantasy.

Pussy powa !

Honestly, I've been listening again and again to the last Rammstein album... and it is soooooo good! ...Their pussy title included! I LOVE it (now). Really do.

So the fantastic album cover corresponds to what's inside.



Some absoBLOODYlutely good stuff, with titles like Rammlied, Waidmanns heil, Mehr or Pussy that I do LOVE.

Can't wait for their concert!

Loup's birthday party (second round :P)

Soooo... Loup will celebrate his 4rth birthday on Thursday, but already had *his* party (with lil friends) on Saturday.

I had forgotten that kids between 3 and 4 were not really autonomous. It was, for all of them (they were 7), their first party. They were SO cute! Each of them was still surrounded with how can I say... their own world. Imagination. So many sparkles in their eyes when they saw the candles on the cake! So much excitement when it was the time to open the gifts!

Loup was so happy! He had invited 3 girlfriends and 3 boyfriends. He was so excited to show his guns and swords! ... yet he still insisted I had to keep an eye over the cake so they do not eat all of it!

When I started to put children's songs on, oh that was so sweet. Every time there was one telling he/she knew the song. Started to sing in their own way, with their own words. Awww... my heart couldn't stop melting! hehe (sticky stuff!)

Loup's Birthday party & very busy Candy!

I'm running, but all the time.
I think that's the way I *work*. Went to sport in the early morning, went back there in the early evening, sent 2 paintings (had to pack them carefully before), managed to see friends on lunchtime, worked before, worked after, took Lola to her dance courses after school, had a glass of something -and a lil fight- with my mom... and finally here I am... blogging!

It feels good.

I've got an opportunity for children's illustration earlier this week. A very interesting one. But declined it. Am I right, am I wrong, I don't know. I am free. Nothing good would have come out of it, I just know it.

I'm working on t-shirts' design. Very exciting. I need more time.

Do you have magazines with meat pictures? I really need those for my next project.
If you find a photo of a big bloody piece of meat, send it to me pleaaaaase!

I think I'm going to make another post for Loup's party. LOL

Farewell, la Comtesse

She was the oldest of my girlfriends at sport. 83 years old.

She was an actress when younger, played in lots of theatres in Paris.
She was fond of her daughter and grand-daughter who both worked for TV (they're *voices* for cartoons).

She was so active, so talkative, very feminist. She followed some training courses with the softest Terminators, she followed as she could. That was really cute. She was teasing the trainers all the time, and they played her game, they loved her.

Each time she saw me, she always had these same words: "B., do you ever get tired? Always see you running, lifting weights and sweating! Keep the rythm, girl!"

La Comtesse (as we all called her) feared one day she wouldn't be able to train anymore, and said this would kill her.
She died before it happened.

And the memory remains :)

My shrimpette, queen of the day

Lola celebrated her 7th birthday on Friday!!!
She's such a beautiful lil woman, sensitive, curious, sweet and funny!



She and I get on very well, we laugh a lot (getting very girlie together and just having fun),and she talks a lot to me, never keeps anything for herself. I'm glad she feels that free with me and hope it will go on this way!
Yesterday night she was sick (poor baby, she just had too many cakes I fear), and had much pain in the stomach, she threw up a few times and then was only asking for my arms. Yesterday night she was like that beautiful baby born 7 years ago, vulnerable, counting on her mama.



With her papa, she's exploring the world. Martin's so patient, so dedcated to our babes. He will take all the time to explain them anything, to play with them, to teach them whatever they ask (might be cooking, making a sword, whatever).
She specially luuuves doing stuff, she alone and Martin. Like riding their bikes in Paris. She loves these lil moments when she has her papa for herself!

With Loup, haaa she's a perfect sister. She'll defend him against anything and anybody (sometimes against us! lol and Loup does the same!). They play a lot together. They're a good team, despite their very different personalities. And when Loup can't sleep at night, she'll quietly join him to reassure the lil devil. So sweet!

Lola had a big bday party on Saturday! It's a lot of preparation and organisation, but the result is so good! All these happy kids, playing, dancing (parle à ma main & ça m'énerve being their main request! hehe), laughing and screaming! I actually LOVE it (once or twice a year :P)


click here

Lola's been spoiled of course... and among all the treasures she got, she's been offered a REAL camera by her grand-parents (she LOVES making photos!). She was so surprised and happy. She did not expect it!

And she also got her first real thick book Cendorine et les dragons. I had no idea kids of 6, 7 years-old could read real books! When one of lola's friend told me she had finished this wonderful book of 250 pages... I was really surprised! woaaa! ... thought Lola could try... and she loves it! :)

La grande bouffe

is the title of my new work. Something I wanted to do since ages! The different topics.. pretty attractive ones!

Oh it's a redhead again! lol (not me , I eat without a fork & fight with my fists! ;-)
I actually only paint red or black hair, both fitting to different topics. It's a visual choice! :D

Salut m'sieur youtube

I have a request. and a confession.

Confession: I sure love you, I spend time with you everyday!

Request: if you could create something better just than "rating videos", that would help and save a looooot of time!... like "high quality vid" vs "crap vid". Because when it comes to music for instance (huhu) there are so many bad vids. It's like pollution!

Haaa now that was fun!

Just got that from my American friend (and cousin!) Michelle... That was pretty funny, hope you enjoy :D

Alleluia? Nope!

Lola and Loup were watching one of their supa heros earlier, Mr Bean, and at some point, he was singing at church a loud Alleluia.... Lola started to sing some alleNNnnnnuia...hehe... and then it was Loup's turn: he started to sing a very loud:

"Aaaaallez Lolaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

... (well if you check the vid, at minute 5.20, it REALLY sounds like that!)

What a wonderful interpretation! haha! I'm a proud mama, always! :)

Paris by night, facebook and absynthe

Yesterday night I spent some great hours in a pub at La Bastille.

Martin and I decided it was not a problem for either of us if we had sometimes plans on our own. Yesterday I had such a plan, in a week Martin has such a plan. lol

Not that we don't like to spend our time together! lol! Just that sometimes, we have different plans. Yesterday his plan was to sit down and relax after some intense sport session. And I was invited to celebrate one of my friends' birthday in the district of La Bastille.

This *friend*, I had never met him before... lol yeah the "internet thingie".
We've developped some good friendship on (vade retro satanas) Facebook. We share common musical tastes and we both are active in some metal group on FB.

When he invited me to celebrate his birthday, I did not hesitate a second, it seemed natural. He's a friend!

So there I went, joined Christophe and his metal buddies. Haha! That was brilliant! We had the best beer, tequila and absynthe.
We talked about music, hope, politics. So great!

I instantly felt like part of the gang.

The internet is just brilliant. Such a *human* technology!

A first time, a wonderful one

Now there's a lil man who knows how to talk to his mama!

We were sharing a cuddle in front of some cartoon the other day... and Loup started to whisper in my ear:

Maman, je t'aime je t'aime je t'aime, je t'aime plus haut que le ciel!

awww.. he's never used these words before!
so sweet

I'm such a happy mama, such a lucky one!!!
