Coppola Ad

Big surprise, I love the new(ish) ad for Christian Dior's Miss Dior Cherie perfume. It's so pretty and girlie and sugary and 60's and French. Plus it has a girl in a dress on a bicycle. Plus it was directed by Sofia Coppola. Plus it's on top of a Brigitte Bardot song.



The most incredible thing about an ad like this - I've totally fallen for it. I want to experience life like this girl, so much so that I'd buy the perfume without even smelling it. I even believe that Sofia Coppola must like the fragrance too, or she wouldn't be promoting it - which is probably the furthest thing from true.

Listen to the whole song with images of Brigitte Bardot here.
Opening of Lost in Translation - which has the same color palette as ad.
And a clip from Le Ballon Rouge. Just because.

Girl Crushin'

Yé-yé was a style of pop music that emerged out of France and Québec in the early 1960s. It was France's answer to British invasion and American girl groups.

I love British Invasion.

I love American Girl Groups.

I love cute sweet sexy French women.

I love yé-yé.







I really want to find Francoise Hardy, The "Yeh-Yeh" Girl from Paris or on vinyl for less than $25.00. Keep your eyes out for it won't you?
