Hubba Hubba. Quite a collection of bathing beauties. I would love to know more about this get together. A Salvador Dali impersonator, a sigh extolling peppermint, and dames in swimsuits all in Oklahoma. Must have been one heck of a soiree.
Simone. You say Simone. That was my name in French class. I sat in back with Jacques and we sang Depeche Mode songs while Madame prattled on about the subjunctive tense. I like your accent. He is zere!
Bonjour, Simone. Je m’appelle Chantal. What I remember from high school French: Madame left her husband for her teacher’s assistant, who was a few grades ahead of me. Ewwwwww…. Was Jacques trés beau?
That’s more skin than the whole plain of Oklahoma would allow shown just a couple years before 1948, I would think, Kerbey. And the man-poster on the left, how’d he get into the dames’ dorm, anyway?
Simone and Liz with ze French words, you are driving me ze batty with wanton dezire! I took Spanish, clueless how romantic French would turn out to look untranslated in a comment box all these decades later. 🙂
Liz, did your Madamoiselle get her TA-bait-setting self in any sort of double-secret probation, you think? A hand slap for setting a bad tone, for ze students, at least?
The man crept in. You really should have been preparing for the invention of WordPress and the interweb and phones in cars and such back in the 70s, Mark.
No, in the 1970s I was taking high school Spanish, which I will never forget because my teacher had a record player to play us Spanish records, and she let one of my classmates — Margie Knapp, I still remember who it was — play Bruce Springsteen’s song “Rosalita” bcause of the Spanish name in the title, and that was the first time I ever heard the Boss.
I think I’m in love.

Jacques was tres tall and tres not straight, but tres clever. I feel sad for your Madame’s husband. C’est dommage!

That’s more pulchritude than I can handle this early in the morning. Actually, I just wanted to use the word “pulchritude.”

Because their previous sign ‘WE WANT SPEERMYNT’ didn’t work so well.
