Single, living, loving.<\/strong>\u00a0I believe it, live it, breathe it – it’s one of my maxims, and it seems I like my things in threes (as does the universe). I’m hardly a romantic by conventional sense (Clueless<\/em> is the only “chick flick” I’ve ever loved for the message is sweet: love starts with accepting all the flaws of that certain someone), but\u00a0love,\u00a0actually<\/em><\/strong>? I couldn’t tell you what it is. I’ll let you know once I find out. (Don’t hold your breath, ladies, I’m a practical one.)<\/p>\n

But kisses. Kisses! Perfectly sweet, or perfectly swoon-worthy, take your pick. It was only a matter of time before I stumbled across American photographer\u00a0Peter Turnley<\/a>‘s project, so aptly titled “French Kiss.”<\/p>\n

The project began once he moved to Paris in 1975; of all his travels, of all the places he’s seen and been, he recalls that none express love so publicly with such unabashed pride and romance as the Parisians do.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe theme of love in Paris is implicitly intertwined with the heart of Paris itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Turnley<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I used to end all my posts with “bises.” Perhaps I will again. Kiss someone today. Someone old, someone borrowed<\/em><\/del> new, but, darling, certainly not ’til one of you are blue.<\/p>\n
