Eh, Voila!
At the risk of sounding un-American, Happy Bastille Day y'all! Not a holiday that we observe in these parts but it happens to be my hubby's birthday, so I never forget it. So in honor of hubby, the Frenchies and my favorite visual inspiration of all time, the film Marie Antoinette, here are some beautiful fans that could serve as great July wedding favors. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
The Grisettes of Paris greet you,
And we're very pleased to meet you.
Lo-Lo, Do-Do, Jou-Jou, Frou-Frou, Clo-Clo, Margot!
Find us where the lamps are burning,
Tripping down the boulevard.
Watching close at every turning,
Every cab and motor car.
Up and down on sentry go,
Where the bloods and gentry go.
Tripping lightly chatting brightly,
Pitter patter, heel and toe.
Tiny shoes of shiny leather twinkling in the lantern light.
Silk and sequin, frill and feather, nodding down the street at night.
(Chorus)
When the homing coaches rattle
Any time from half past eight
Out we come to start the battle
Laying traps to catch the men.
Then we try another way,
Flashing leg in cabaret
Laughing, glancing, chaffing, dancing,
Flirting down the streets at night.
Life is never dull or idol,
Spreading nets for credit notes.
Butterflies not caught but catching,
Catching men in petticoats.
(Chorus)
Traditional Can-Can
