#43 - Sour Grapes

Labels: ,
I just love the expression on Green Dress Lady's face. She looks like she is telling Sable Coat Lady, "À boire ou je tue le chien!" (Bring me something to drink or I kill the dog!). Or, perhaps Sable Coat Lady walked in with Green Dress Lady's ex-husband.

The art is Toulouse Lautrec's "Beginning of the Quadrille at the Moulin Rouge." And I don't speak French ... I used this website for the French expression. It's a very interesting site. If I should ever go to France, I shall memorize a few of the phrases. Especially, "À boire ou je tue le chien!"

This postcard required the use of a hammer. My elderly cat stomped into the art room during said hammer use and gave me a look that can only be interpreted as "Why don't you go read a book, or write a letter. Something quiet." Talk about sour grapes. Geesh.

I'm sending this to Sarala in Illinois whose drooling gargoyle photo made me laugh.

I think it is an expression, like "I'd kill for that dress." Not to be taken literally. Although, words are dangerous things these days and I guess some expressions should be allowed to fade into the past.
