An ongoing list of my favorite words or phrases, either quoted from others or wholly/partial created by me...
Bovarian-
Relating to or in the style of Madame Emma Bovary, the title character in the eponymous Flaubert novel.
ie, "Lounging in my caftan, talking on my rotary phone, I feel perfectly Bovarian!"
My new favorite phrases come from the 1949 film Madame Bovary, directed by Vincent Minnelli, staring Jennifer Jones.
The first one is " Is there something wrong with wanting things to be beautiful?"
The second is "Happiness, Fashion, and High Romance."
Quelle chic!
