    Wow…. Nice hair and pearls….. And long eyelashes! But what a deadly stare!

    Why can’t Daisy Bunny have eyelashes? http://www.gocomics.com/cestlavie/2006/11/02/

    Wow! This is the first time I’ve seen Mona’s mom, and I have followed it from the beginning. She’s a real stunner. And those eyes glaring- I can see why Mona is somewhat intimidated by Mommie Dearest.

    Them be some lethal-looking finger nails. Made me think of the queen in “Snow White” (the Disney version).

    Mona’s got a MJAC! (Mère que J’Aimerais Coucher)

    Is she a natural blonde? Can we see proof?

    Fritz, why are you asking your Mom for a sunset–O I C WAT U DID THAR! I think there’s a better verb for that. Also, the French would probably just say the phrase rather than try to condense it into an acronym.

    At least Mona has some of her Mom’s genes where it counts, even though I shouldn’t be saying that now that the curtain’s been pulled back.

    Yeah, I knew the idiom wouldn’t work right, but I wanted to keep it close to the well-known American acronym.

    As for “coucher”… The translator engine I used didn’t recognize the FIRST term I tried. :-)

    Mona should learn from Mom. Hmmm. Maybe she did….

    Nice use of guillemets (angle quotes) to indicate they’re speaking in French.

    Mona’s mother might have had black hair just like Mona when she was younger. I’ve a great aunt who had black hair that went completely white by the time she was 40.
