Vivre Sa Vie

This is Anna Karina.

She’s a babe (obviously), an actress and a muse. She made her way to France when she was really young, met the right people who saw her attractiveness with potential, began modeling, changed her name, and began starring in films by some filmmaker by the name of “Jean-Luc Godard” (whom she later married), etc. During the course of her sensational career she married herself off, one or two or four times, which is beside the point. Clearly she’s good looking. Probably charismatic. Got it going on (at least she did when this photo was taken in 1960-something.) Miss Karina is still around now, which means she’s jumped to ‘cougar’ status. Meow.

So why Karina? I rented this “Godard” character’s film, Vivre Sa Vie. It turns out that Karina, Godard’s muse, has the starring role which, from what I’ve learned from reading a review or two (I haven’t actually watched the film yet), her sweet character Nana submits herself to a life of prostitution after a series of downfalls.

Here’s a trailer for the film Vivre Sa Vie (which translates to “live life”).

Now, imagine that my boyfriend revealed today that Karina is his dream woman!

How can I compete with that? She’s a cougar now!
