ici, un poussin français d'époque parle de shampooing son grand a fait une permanente des cheveux.

From 1986.

I used this shampoo and conditioner back in those days. In fact, when I think of it, I think of its wonderful smell coupled with the smell of the girls' locker room after swimming in gym class.



I had really big hair in those days; a really righteous 80s perm that I would have done every couple of months at the JCPenney salon at the Tippecanoe Mall. Then my Mom would take me out to lunch at Wag's Restaurant.

From 1966: Another Beautiful Illustration By Rene Gruau For Christian Dior


I love this charming, feminine, slightly suggestive ad. So very French! I want to get some prints of his work and hang them throughout our house.

From 1978: The Most Beautiful Woman Who Ever Lived


You don't need to speak a word of French to understand how great this movie is.
This is my favorite scene, where Miss Deneuve eats potato chips and rides in a convertible through Paris at night with her lover, Antoine.
From 1968, La Chamade (The Heartbeat)

C'est un monde se balançant, le bébé!

Probably 1959

It's difficult to find a date for this album, but it is undoubtedly the soundtrack for his Broadway show of the same name.
