Now I need to figure out that expression! :-)I love Bo... I have been indifferent to her until I saw her at Bush's inauguration ball, then it was love at second sight (the first one being, of course, the 10). She can also speak somewhat eloquently with no script.
With 35-23 1/2-35 1/2 measurements, she was probably the most effective Bush campaign fund raiser.

Victor,Thanks to my early life all over the place (my father worked in the oil industry '49-'66) I can embarass myself in terrible German, Dutch, English, and even a little French. Now I don't even remember what my first language was- German I guess.
You're right about my "Russian"- I should really learn English first before ruining new languages. My Mother is the linguist- Spanish is her degree language, but she does a few others- and when her sister lived in Leningrad for five years, learned a bit of Russian and that got me interested. Russian is fascinating to me as I can't tell what the hell I'm doing most of the time, and it becomes Duchampian poetry, with accidental meanings. A friend with a Russian degree from Dartmouth says my Russian is (paraphrsing) something like the sounds made when a Swedish person gets run over by a Buick with English plates! I did a painting of one of my heroes- Rasputin, and I'm sure the title I painted in Russian ("Портрет человека вытягивая его бороду.") is quite different from the intended!
I think there's far too much concentration on language having to "mean" something just all the time.
More often than not, I end up really hating Blake Edwards movies***, but "10" has some great comedic features and for Edwards is actually a rather quiet movie.
***Except "The Party"
Did you speak with Derek at the Ball? I started chatting with her at the Jaguar shop- she was waiting for a car, I was waiting for XK140 suspension parts. But in jeans and little makeup- she was highly freckled and had obviously been in the Sun a lot, plus being really quite petit- maybe 5-3, 5'4, I didn't recognize her. The mechanic told me when she'd gone. But, yes, a strong presence, and a definite, (slightly unexpected) intelligence and nicely calm.
Another chance meeting like this was in my local espresso hole and there was Jamie Lee Curtis in muddy riding clothes. She's tall- 5'9/5'10, athletic looking, and though she's not often in movies I like much, I've long thought she was attractive and a strong character.
Did you speak with Derek ?
Cheers,
Bambi B
PS: The sidebar auto-adverts on this page at the moment: "Bush Countdown clocks", "Free song-"Bush ain't no poor Mans's friend", "Become a powerful leader, you can learn to conquer the World", and "Replace Bush- respond now and get a free laptop" -What kind of intelligence-free programme comes up with this, well, "stuff"?
Never met Bo close up... they did not even invite me to the Bush' bash!The ads I see say "Study Russian in Moscow"! I think they want you!
With a hero like Rasputin you are assured good time there!
