Horses and Poseurs

First, Miss Patti Smith:


Now, me playing the poseur:

Yes. It is always desperating to look like sombody else.

About 6 years ago, I once tried to mimic so many models in commercial ads. One of them:



Sorry, I do not have such nice backgroud items, especially the chair.


Just curious: what does "le bourget" mean?

I ran "le bourge" through http://babelfish.yahoo.com/, but it wasn't able to translate it. So, I don't know.

Very nice, I enjoyed that.

I believe 'le bourget' is a name, I know there is a town called bourget in France and there is an airport called that near Paris.

However, I have no clue if the place that took those photos is there, as I only know maybe 20 words of french, someone with more ability in that language could look here @ lebourget.com if they were interested in the stuff shown in that pic, I see the logo matches up so I assume it is the same company.

p.s. I tried messing around with babelfish on that link and I must say it is much better than it was a few years ago, for example the text under my name 私は光です (Watashii wa Hikari desu) comes up in google translate as "I light" at least babelfish understands that desu is a verb and makes it "I am light" of course neither one of them realizes that 光 (Hikari) is being used as a name and not a common noun in this case, but I don't see how they could without an honorific and I am gonna be real arrogant if I go around calling myself Hikari-sama anyway, I think I will use babelfish instead of google from now on.

Yes. It sounds like French. Le Bourget seems a French brand name for underwears. So.... the model is also a French?

Anyway, nice color combination... Black long dress in the brown ground...

Hikari, I read their little "getting to know us" description, and it says nothing about where the name comes from. Could the owner be from that area of Paris? Or perhaps the store is in that area, although that would seem redundant!

I think the clothing company is just named for the commune (suburb) they are based in, like many companies are (Cisco Systems, from the San Francisco Area, Faribo wool blankets from the Faribault Woolen Mill Company in Faribault Minn, rock bands like Chicago and Boston, the list is endless).
