Are Frenchwomen of all ages inherently more sensuous (or sexy if you like)?  

 

          Where "Anglo-Saxons" button-up, a French woman loosens the one just above her cleavage. It's effortless, sensual and never vulgar.

           And beneath they are no doubt wearing the world's most luscious lingerie, but they only give us a hint, a peek, a whisper of that innate aura of mystery they project.

           It seems to me it isn't a decision the way it is for "Anglo-Saxons" -- up, up, up and out -- ultimately all artifice and effort making most look as if they were not comfortable in their skin. 

 

          I've avoided talking about Hollywood because it has nothing to do with real life. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have never seen a trashy, revealing picture of a French actress on the street. Yes, they will drop their clothes for a photo shoot in a fashion magazine faster, I think, than their peers from other countries, but I'm convinced that's proof positive of the fact they are comfortable with their bodies, bien dans leur peau.
