I haven't...You are very lovely, inside and out.<br />I haven't read Flaubert, but I like the quotes you've chosen. The first one explains why some of us artistic types are attracted to those strong, steady types. The second one sounds like the French version of "fat,dumb & happy." Since the French don't seem to believe in getting fat, maybe for them, it's selfish, stupid and healthy.

It's almost gone! I feel very badly about that.<br />But I love that photo of you. The "promise of the future" feel coupled with your ethereal beauty (I mean it) is compelling.
