What can this be? A new Coco? After Irma la Douce has so very well played her so definitave? Saint-Just tells you it is true! He has heard it for himself!
But is it so bad a thing? Two Cocos? And one so very young! She is Audrey Tautou, who plays the girl is very many wonderful cinema shows. Here she is all like Coco, but I do not know why she dresses in the clothing of a man. Perhaps I am mistaken and she is playing the great blues singer Koko Taylor. But, no, Koko does not wear the tie. O, could she be Coco Montoya, the fellow with the blue guitar? I do not know. It is a mystery.
If she is Coco Chanel, then what a wonderful day for French Couture. Mme. Coco makes the very French look and the “No. 5″ which is the very smell of French people. She invent the “Chanel Suit” which was named after her in her honor. And Mme. Coco makes the “little black dress” famous. Before Coco it was a very big dress — very, very big — and it was not black. It had yellow and black stripes. I live with Coco for many years, but we do not marry.
