Pauline Acquart - Retenez Son Nom

[DMt.]

The nickname is harmless enough, of course, and no real censure was implied in my poor little joke.

A bit of silly humour is probably very useful around awesomely beautiful women, breaks the spell a bit, helps you remember to close your mouth and not stare constantly; but I *think* I think it doesn't really do her justice.

Yes, that's probably it.

[fish]

I think it's cute.
And besides, it gives us yet another epithet to use, but only in the nicest possible way of course.


Flo took this one. Yay Flo.
No idea what she's smiling at but she's obviously intrigued.

On the Parenthèse set, taken by Flo.
Lovin' the boots.

Hmmm...Tomboy Bourka could give an old man a heart attack

[DMt.]

No, it's just pinned up. Whew!

...omg omg new pauline photos...

Don't go far Sweetgirl.
I'm not half way through them yet.


Bruno has done a few "portraits" in the last few days.
One was made her Facbok profile pic for just a few hours, only to be replaced by this one.
And I already think I know which one will be next.
Yum.



He's a dab hand with a camera is Bruno, my new favourite photographer.

Nice.

[DMt.]

Truly.

A fine study of a fascinating subject.

[DMt.]

I do have to wonder sometimes, from these pics, if our dear Acquart is actually as happy as we would [presumably] wish her to be.

Looking like a suitable candidate for La Princesse du Tristesse may be one thing; having to actually be it may be quite another. It would be a shame, and probably quite destructive too, if she ended up as some kind of poster-girl for female angst.

I would guess that Notre Acquart has had quite a hard schooling in the realities of showbiz and PR, since her debut in NdP; I've speculated before about a flood of unwelcome offers after playing Marie, and I'm fairly sure that's not all of it. Some of her expressions in the pics are so questioning and hostile, you can practically hear her saying, "this is all such bullshit", or "I hate being so-called hot" - shades of Kristen Stewart...

What am I trying to say, here? I actually love her sorrow, did from the first - I think it's beautiful, and so real, and I think it's been with her for a long time, since childhood maybe. I just don't want it to typecast her, to become what the public sees as her defining characteristic. I'm so glad she's not mega-famous [and thus hassled to death by papparazzi etc] but I really think she deserves a wider audience, which involves all that.

I guess I'm just confused.

[Dahls]

One can speculate.
But, it would be just that, I guess, speculations.


I agree that's a lovely pic, though.

[DMt.]

Sure it's only speculation, Dahls, and God knows I don't wish the girl any unhappiness, but I do find the effect of many Bourkapix, such as this beautiful example, to be not just touching or moving [a quality she has always had, in spades] but actually rather troubling.

Stupid of me, perhaps, since there's nothing I can do about it, even if by some miracle I'm reading the pics correctly; but who can say, maybe just knowing someone in the world Gets It can help, even a bit. I certainly hope so.

[fish]

...And I already think I know which one will be next. ...

My view is that she's a good actress and model, and can adopt whatever pose or expression is desired.
I don't think we can read anything into the number of "non-smiling" as opposed to "smiling" pics and vids.

[Ian]

I concur.

That's a very cute one.

[DMt.]

I don't, at all; but I'll shut up about it now, because it isn't really any of my business anyway.
