    As for Renée’s beauty, well, no one can carp about that!

    Chanteuse girl, are you crazy??? i looked at your site… you have mighty gorgeous women on there… please take another look at that magazine cover… that is about as bad as a beautiful woman like Renee can look… My VERY STRAIGHT brother has loved RF since Thais in Chicago… i sent him the pic and he didnt even know who it was…

  • Chanteuse says:

    Well, thank you.

    Now that I look at it again, her make-up on the cover looks rather smudged. The one who air-brushed it didn’t do a good job… But STILL beautiful in my book.

    Now I’m stunned by the ad for bridesmaid dresses just below here from dessy.com

    I knew she was thinking of going into straight theatre, but had no idea about this little sideline.
