So the other day I'm wandering around the fabulous Carnavalet, the French history museum in beautiful downtown Dayton, Ohio, when I ran smack into this striking portrait of one of the great babe obsessions of my youth.
That is, of course, the incomparable Juliette Greco, who -- for you whippersnappers -- is without doubt the sexiest Beatnik chick in black tights to ever sing a suggestive song. Usually while sitting on a stool and silhouetted by a single spotlight.
Here she is, from 1967, with one of her signature tunes, "Deshabillez-moi." Which means exactly what you think it does, BTW.
You're welcome.

I am sure that there seemed to be a good reason at the time for standing her in front of a six-wheeled ATV (like the Banana Splits would use later), but I am even more sure this reason is lost to us now. A pity.
It looks like the French hadn't quite gotten the hang of that TV stuff in 1967.
Could cause a souffle in le shorts !
