Music Video Week Bonus! Charlotte Gainsbourg? More Like Charlotte BABESburg, Am I Right?!

Well, before we start another theme week here at the Hot Hot Half Life (Let's face it, this summer's topics are too lengthy for single posts per subject, I feel as if we're encroaching upon the season of theme weeks here.), I have a bonus for you, if for no reason other than Charlotte Gainsbourg is pretty to look at.


See what I mean?

Honestly, I love my originality. I like the way I look and I like my sense of style. I feel more like myself now, at this point in my life, than I ever have before. But, that being said, if there was any one woman in the world who I could look so suspiciously like that we might be related, it would be Gainsboug. She walks the line between gawky and gorgeous with more grace than I ever will and to say she's captivating is a supreme understatement. Maybe it's the French in me - Aren't all French people required by law to love Serge and any off springs he may have hatched? - but I don't think that's it. Gainsbourg has a very real appeal, be it in the Great Genital Mutilation Film of '09, Lars Von Trier's Antichrist, or be it with Beck and a pancake headed space man, the girl's got no shortage of appeal. Not a particularly great singer, Gainsbourg seems to need someone behind the scenes to direct her, be it Air, Jarvis Cocker, or her aforementioned current collaborator, Beck, but that doesn't make her any less appealing. Yeah, I usually like my creative types to do more when it comes to production and songwriting but shit, son. Have you seen her?
