Girl Crush
I have an unholy Girl Crush on Margaux Motin. A French freelance illustrator and bloggeuse.
One of my favorite posts of hers is the one below.
(Please note: I haven't asked for her permission to use, but want to remind you that these images are hers and are copyright protected.
She is spot on, totally trash (as the French say) and I love her for it).
I have translated each text image except the first ones with the little girl (Maman is pretty self explanatory). My apologies for the quality of the images here as Blogger wouldn't let me post bigger ones for some reason. The real post is here. Any French reading readers should really sign up for Margaux's RSS Feed.
The translations are under the illustrations.
Enjoy:
The Law Is The Law


FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! WHAT? BLOODY HELL! WHAT DO YOU WANT? THAT I GO FUCKING NUTSO? THAT I HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN? I HAVE A LIFE TOO YOU KNOW! I AM NOT SUPER NANNY! FUCK FUCK FUCK!
I'd love to be able to do that, but life, my mother, Françoise Dalto [a noted French psychologist dealing with the psychological trials and tribulations of children], the law protecting children and the 119 [hotline dealing with the protection of children] force me to react this way...
Yes, my darling? What would you like my little honey bunny?
It totally sucks.
