How I love to read your billet doux electronique! So many questions of deep interest. Par exemple, you say, “Saint Just! Saint Just! How do you keep looking so young with so fresh skin? Do you bathe in the milk?” Mon dieu! Certainly not! The very idea! Tres dégoût! No, no, there is not [...]

Here is the problem you must surely always be having all the time. You are somewhere, yes? But you say, “Where am I? Am I in France or am I in the Congo?” How do you know which place?
Ho ho. Saint Just will tell you how to know. Look all over — look up and [...]

Saint-Just will help you think how French Couture goes. Picture in you eye this line: On the end here you see Mme. Coco. On the end there you see M. Crocodile. Now look. There in the middle you see Yves Saint Laurent.

The couture of France she would be nothing at all — nothing! – without all the good dresses you see from Coco! Mme Coco she is the first to make a dress go just so, and also the quaint hat!

Once again I would like so much to thank M. Rousseau for all the insight he has for Americaine politicks. Enough deep thinking, eh? Now we are back to good fun.

How puzzled your face looks in America, my cousins! “What is this?” you cry. “How can it be? She is a woman! What ever shall we do? Oh! Oh!” I would laugh, but I do not wish your anger, my friends. You must not let your gallant spirits hold you back in politics. Remember: Politics [...]

Do not be despairing, beleaguered French troops! C’est mois, Louis de Saint-Just, to the rescue! On the bounce, henh? Ho ho ho.

Look at me! I am coo-coo for Les Souffles de Cacao! Woo hoo! Woo hoo!
