What's your favorite French tradition? PS: I really like you, Em! You're doing a great job here on tumblr!
I’m a bit religious so I’d say “crossing the bread”, meaning you make a cross with the tip of your knife on the bread’s back before cutting it. You don’t actually “draw” a cross, it’s just a gesture, you just scrape it to make a scraping sound while crossing. It means you’re blessing the bread so symbolically, you’re asking for Jesus’s forgiveness for “stabbing” him/cutting his flesh (the bread being the symbol of Jesus’s flesh for non-religious followers). You don’t cross when you’re cutting the bread with your bare hands, it’s just when you use an object to do so. I grew up making it naturally because nobody at home questionned religion but it kept doing it as an adult because I think it’s respectful and sweet :)
Another cute one is “Les Catherinettes” http://awesomefrench.tumblr.com/tagged/catherinettes

27) Smoke cigarettes?

More at home
69) Would you get surgery on any part of you? If yes then which part of you?
I actually plan on getting a boob job (to reduce them/give them a new youth, like we say in French haha) but once I get kids only because you can’t really nurse after a boob job. And I would love to nurse my kids or at least being able to try it and figure if I like doing it or not.

For a girl Valentine, for a boy Maxence, but I also love names that work for both gender like Alex, etc.. I like the idea that the name doesn’t define the gender so… We’ll see :)

No opinion

Being quite possessive with my partner but I’m working on it. At least, I try.

1,2,3,4,5,20 please? ~much love
1) Self harmed?
Oh yeah
2) Got into a real fight?
No; but I once slapped a girl because she said Picasso wasn’t genius at all and didn’t deserve to be famous. You just don’t say this kind of things in front of me. You just don’t. Hahahah
3) Been too depressed to move out of your bed?
I locked myself in my appartment for a month, maybe 6 weeks, I don’t remember exactly. I didn’t move out of bed, I stopped eating and wasn’t answering on the phone any more. My mom figured what I was doing and forced me to take a plane to go back to the South and literally threw me at my best friend’s vacation home until I got better and started talking again.
4) Tried to commit suicide?
Twice, I took pills and I tried to jump out a window.
5) Had to lie to EVERYONE about how you felt?
Yup too. I was bullied in school and NOBODY took me seriously so at some point, I just stopped trying to explain and shut it. Then I tried to jump out the window in front of my family when I ended up emptied from all strength and faith, and FINALLY they thought that *maybe* something was wrong with me.
20) Are Worried and confused about something important to you?
Not today :)

Anonymous asked :
What is the most important thing for you Em? :)
Well that’s quite a vague question! x) Hm… I’d say that the most important thing for me is to still like myself. As someone said “I fell in love with myself and I’m looking for someone to share it.” That’s my definition of happiness :)

May I ask why you support gay marriage? Regardless of your sexuality.
I think that homosexuality is just a type of sexuality and the inner concept of sexuality is much more complicated than straight/gay. As far as I know, there are pansexuals, bisexuals, assexuals, but also swingers, people who cheat on their spouse and all kinds of “sexual taste”. Homosexuals are the only ones not being allowed to marry just because of their sexuality and I find that discriminating.
Also, it’s a big move against patriarchy and for feminism in general. Why from all sexualities, homosexuality is the only one that “appears” to be an issue? That’s because most men (politicians are mostly males, let’s be honest) don’t know how to deal with it, because they can’t have “power” over someone. Gay couples (last time I checked) are composed of two people of the same gender hence their relationship cannot by definition be based on the submission of the woman and the power of the man. Gay men couples annoy them because they can’t deal with the idea that their partner could be their full equal on a sexual level, and they don’t understand lesbian couples because they can’t understand why someone wouldn’t be attracted to their gender.
Finally, I think gay marriage will help stopping the diabolization of gay people (and all kinds of different people by extension). When you listen to people that don’t understand gay marriage or even the concept of homosexuality, you realize that they just don’t know AT ALL what being gay means. Like, they just don’t. For them, we are people that are ruled by our sexuality on every single level of our personality. They sort of think our sexuality is our main goal in life and our one and only “leisure”/passion. As if I would have pictures of naked women in every single room of my house, as if I’d want to bang every single woman I see in the street, etc. But truly, the only time I think about my sexuality is when I have in my bed the girl I’m attracted to/I’m in love with. Pretty much like everybody else, straight/gay/whatever sexuality they are. I think it will educate people by showing them that gay marriage doesn’t destroy society right because gay people aren’t different at all. They can be religious too, they have jobs too, they pay taxes too, they suffer too, they are happy too, they celebrate Christmas too, they have a family too, they have parents/siblings too. They are like everyone else and I’d like everyone to understand that.

What are your plans for the future?
If I think about myself only, I’d stay a few more years in Paris then I’ll leave for Southern France to open my gallery. If I think as part of a partnership, I have no idea because I’d guess I’d follow her where life leads us.

Hm… Trust I guess. When you know you can trust your partner, you can move mountains together. But sadly, trust is also one of the hardest things to have.

hypothetical question: A director recognizes your amazing acting abilities and you get to play the lead role as a woman torn between her two lovers. You get to decide who these lovers are, one French actress and one American actress. I figure this question is a bit different :)
The real question actually is : When will the director call me because it’s insanely stupid to let all this talent sleep. Hahahahah! :D
Seriously, I’d cast Julie Depardieu for the Cocorico part and la gringa Anne Hathaway.

Bonjour Em, j'ai 16 ans et je pense aimer les filles car j'ai l'impression que les filles m'attirent plus que les garçons enfin bref.. je voulais savoir à quel âge tu as eu ta première fois je comprendrais si tu ne veux pas répondre.. et si ça c'était bien passer? en passant j'adore ton blog!!!
Alors tout d’abord, sache qu’il ne faut pas te mettre la pression de savoir si oui ou non tu es gay car au final, on s’en fout x). Si un mec t’attire, c’est cool. Si une fille t’attire, c’est cool aussi. Ecoute pas les potes qui donnent des conseils sans trop savoir de quoi ils parlent. L’important, c’est ce que tu ressens toi, et les sentiments n’ont pas de “label”, tout est fluide ;)
Ensuite, j’ai eu ma première fois la veille de mes 18 ans. Je n’ai jamais été tentée par l’idée de “le faire pour le faire”. Je voulais le faire avec quelqu’un a qui je tenais un minimum, donc j’ai attendu ma première copine pour le faire. L’acte en soi était franchement pas époustouflant. Faut dire que ni elle ni moi ne savions vraiment ce que nous faisions, donc ça ressemblait plus à un jeu de Lego qu’à l’acte charnel ultime et transcendantal comme tout le monde en parle. Je me vois encore en train de me dire : “Tout ça pour ça. Franchement, y’a erreur sur la marchandise, je me suis faite flouer”. C’était franchement sans intérêt sur le moment, et je suis encore convaincue que c’était sans intérêt. En fait, on était assez bêtes, on croyait que juste parce qu’il y allait avoir contact physique, ça allait être magique. Sauf après X années d’expérience lesbienne, je peux t’affirmer en toute âme et conscience que pour une première fois vraiment bien, vraiment cool, il faut le faire avec quelqu’un en qui tu as totale confiance. Si tu as peur, c’est ce que ce n’est pas la bonne personne pour ta première fois. Et même avec toute la volonté du monde, si ce n’est pas la bonne personne, ça se passera forcément moins bien que ce dont tu rêves. Tu risques d’être crispée et ça risque de ne pas être agréable du tout. C’est comme écouter une musique de vacances en plein hiver, t’as envie de l’écouter parce qu’il fait froid, qu’il neige et tu finis par avoir encore plus froid parce que t’as envie de chaleur et tu déprimes car tu vois pas le bout de l’hiver et que les vacances sont dans longtemps. En revanche, si t’attends l’été, que tu glisses ton corps de naïade dans un bikini en plein soleil, les pieds dans le sable, les glaçons du mojito qui fondent sur la table de jardin, et que tu mets tes écouteurs et ta musique de vacances, tu vas kiffer ta race bordel de claque à pute. Alors que pourtant, c’est exactement la même musique.
Bah la première fois c’est pareil. Si t’as peur et que la personne en face te presse, c’est écouter sa musique en hiver. Si t’as confiance et que tu passes du bon temps avec quelqu’un que tu apprécies, ton mojito te dit merci. Conseil de tata Em :D
