Puce (often misspelled as “puse”,”peuse” or “peuce”) is a color that is defined as ranging from reddish-brown to purplish-brown, with the latter being the more widely-accepted definition found in reputable sources. Puce is a shade of red. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) dates the use of “puce” (in couleur puce) from 1787. The first recorded use of puce as a color name was in the 14th century, in the French language.[1] In French, puce literally means “flea”, and the usual coloration of a flea is dark reddish-brown or dark purplish-brown; specifically, it is the color of the belly of a flea.[verification needed] The word originates, through the French puce, from Old French pulce, from Latin pūlic-, pūlex.

Harriet: “I think the current bed bug infestation is being exploited by the press and besides, bed bugs can be a delicious snack” Coco: “Harriet, you pampered bitch! Those bed bugs have been around since the Bush administration and now everyone is trying to blame Obama.”  Coco and Harriet discuss Angelina Jolie's dress while keeping their distance. (Original Photo: Chris Pizzello/Associated Press) The rover-ing reporter fetched us a news flash about Coco and Harriet who are making the rounds of awards ceremonies, the latest being the SAG Awards. They were rooting for The Black Swan, the film in which they appeared, supporting Natalie Portman in the ballet scenes. (their scenes only made it to the director’s West Highland Terrier’s cut)
But when The King’s Speech took the Cast Ensemble award, Coco and Harriet managed to wriggle their cute little tails into the photograph of the cast. Asked how they managed it, Coco said, “We just tried to speak veddy, veddy properly, and look as much like Corgis as possible.”
“If they’d known we were French,” Harriet added, “oh mon Dieu!”
The two befurred actresses wore gowns by Oscar de la Runta. They attended the official after-party in the parking lot next to the Shrine auditorium where a tent was furnished with rich lavender carpets and draped with purple cloth, and where they had a howling good time. They were seen sniffing around Best Actor winner Colin Firth.
“He is one dreamy dawg,” Coco said.
“Hey, we may be domesticated,” Harriet said, “But we’re certainly not tame!”

OK, so the girls have been on hiatus, or just recovering from the holidays or just waking up from a nice long nap in front of the fire. It’s been very cold here in LA and we are so happy it’s warmed up in time for the Golden Globes because you know these little LA frenchies DON’T like to go out in the rain! Coco and Harriet could NOT believe their bat ears! That Ricky Gervais! What? Who? Hilarious!
Then they moved and sat with Johnny Depp. I think that’s Geoffrey Rush sitting behind them. All in all, a good time was had by all! Just a few more Halloween pictures and then we promise to move on. Tomorrow. Although Coco was not convinced to put on a costume, she felt she should have treats anyway.
girn (gûrn)* * www.thefreedictionary.com/girn Do you know what a girner is? These people are girners. They have rubber faces they can contort for the amusement of the rest of us.  photo by Neal Slavin That’s not a girner in the middle. That’s Gary Owens from “Laugh In”. Remember “Laugh In?” You’re probably too young. I think frenchies are natural girners. Leave us a comment and we’ll get back to you with an email address for your pictures. Oh, that silly Harriet!
Yesterday Coco had to go to the vet. And the vet had some sort of throat problem that meant he had to write down everything he wanted to say instead of talking. It ended up with a nasty looking red rash on her rear end costing 236.00 for a little ointment and some antibiotics that gave her diarhea. How do you spell that? I don’t even want to know. They shaved her derriere and now she looks like a little french baboon. I need a drink. We know it’s hot almost everywhere but for some odd reason, here in Los Angeles we’ve been having a very mild summer and it’s nice to sit out in the backyard and when you’re sitting in the backyard, it’s nice to have a nice drink, perhaps a little something french made from elderflowers blossoms…. well, it’s been a long day and you can see the bottle is almost empty. |
