The Lady in Purple

Firmine Richard!
Awesome! I went to see Maryse Condé today in the courtyard of la Maison Jean Vilar. More on Madame Condé in another post. I saw this woman in purple, and snapped these photos of her. If my sister is reading this post, she'll know why. When Mommy was going through chemo therapy, her hair had fallen out, but as it grew back, it was this wonderful, wooly, soft, steel grey. Although Mme Richard's hair is blond, Mommy looked just like this woman. I loved Mme Richard's performance in the movie by Colline Serreau, "Mama There's A Man in Your Bed" (American Title), "Romuald et Juliette" is the French title. Colline Serreau also directed "3 Hommes et un couffin", co-wrote the American version "3 Men and a Baby" (directed by Leanord Nimoy, and produced by Disney). Mme Richard also stars in the movie, "8 Women".

I said to Mommy, "Add large hoop earrings, and you'll look awesome!" In my head, like a diva. She really did look great. Her response? "I doubt your father would like me with short hair," she said flatly, and placed her ridiculous wig on her head.
