Important Information on Facial Moles In The Know-It-All, I wrote about the fake beauty marks that 18th century French women (and men) affixed to their faces. I got a nice note from Elise Goyette with more details on this important topic. She writes that the official French name for these alluring black blobs is 'mouches.' And that they "each had a different sub-name, depending on which area of the face they were placed:" La Passionnee was near the eye La Coquette was on the lips L'effrontee was on the nose La Galante was on the cheek Emplatres were three big ones on the temple And then, Elise writes, there's "La discrete - which gave its name to a wonderful film, an absolute must-see, especially if you haven't discovered actor Fabrice Luchini yet." Even more details here I thought you should know. Also, regarding Elise, it took me quite a few emails to convince her that the K on my keyboard was really broken, and I wasn't making it up, and that's why I had to write "than you very much" and "I'm not oking" |
