"I wasn't really naked. I simply didn't have any clothes on."

Though I have much to do today, I couldn't let the day go by without a big birthday celebratory thanks to none other than.....

One of my all time favoriet French Torch Songs is her rendition of "J'ai deux amours" (My Two Loves) click here then click on the listen icon next to "J'ai deux amours" ( Track 1) to hear a sample. I listen to French Torch songs often while I paint and I will admit I love Paris ( it was by far the most beautiful city I have ever seen) and one day - I will own a little place there...
