[@madelinebrennan7603]

Messy just means, to me... everything. The full catastrophe as Zorba says. I think you perhaps define it differently than I do. Bill Cosby, Woody Allen, ... other artists who represent, to me, the full catastrophe. You cannot dismiss what they brought to art and to American culture but you can't dismiss what they did either. The Yin and Yang--the full contradictions evidence in human existence. This is my perception anyway.

okay and enough compliments, we all know she was the cat's miow, one of my fav if not my favourite, but they did not show how she used to sit and draw her fashion styles so eloquently, so many sketches, I would have loved to have seen them, it's a shame the film is so short, I would have watched at least another hour or more and wanted to see her have some fun on the dancefloor, after all her style was all about Coco

[@rmp7400]

Love is more important to a woman only because men and women are not configured the same ...man needs respect foremost, or a love relationship with a woman cannot exist and endure. And these days, not many women know how to respect a man....why so few marriages are successful, even when they are attempted ... Perhaps ...if more women really were committed to being appreciated & loved, they would make more of an intelligent effort and make corresponding sacrifices necessary to ensure for themselves and their significant other an enduring, respectful loving relationship 🌹

[@therenaissancewoman2080]

I loved this short film. Channel was a pioneer leading the way for other great fashion designers. Her determination to break past social cultures she found to be dampening is an example for us all. She was an inspiration to so many. I love her fragrance. I remember when I was very young, around six or seven, my sister and I received a perfume sample of Channel no. 19 from the lady behind the cosmetic counter. We were thrilled. When I dabbed on the fragrance it took me into the world of channel. I knew what my style was even then. I never grew up wearing jeans. Hated them. At the tender age of three, I recall being at Expo 67 in Montreal, Quebec where I was born, and I especially liked seeing the women dressed up. I knew at that age I loved the elegant designs and especially the designs of Coco Channel.

This is historical. Even the diddy "Yankee Doodle Dandy" from the 1700s reflects this: "He stuck a feather in his cap and called it Macaroni". Macaroni was a slang word of the time meaning "stylish" based on the understanding that Italian fashion was high style.

@@garymorgan3314 While I love France and enjoyed living there when I was a student, from a business perspective ( opening a business there are running a business there) one has to be almost insane to do so due to its regulations, taxes. If one has income sourced from another country or from investments and lives less the amount needed to be declared a tax resident, then it can be great. One can always buy into the French medical system for a reasonable price. If one works remotely, they can choose to work the hours the want to in any country,.
