Love this! Madame has so many meanings for women; good and not so good. ;-) I think I still prefer it over "ma'am". Madame Recamier is a beautiful painting.
I too love this, Aunty, especially Monet... a favourite of mine.
Happy MM.
That is an impressive collection of Madames, Aunty! Happy MM!
LMAO... Similar idea again this week x Although I went with the masculine. Great fun :)
Wonderful! Madames certainly make their way in this world. Happy Mute Monday!
We all need a good madame now and again.
Wow, those were great pics. Don't know who many of them were, but still cool. Happy Mute monday

Thanky. I onc't had a Madame Recamier style wicker chaise--I felt rather grande dame-sih stretched out on it...hee hee.
Hey Bear!
Monet painted several versions of Madame Monet.
Java Junkie,
ain't it a good bunch? I put the Croque Madame in jes' fer KArmic Kitchen!! Then thar's the roses and clematis named Madame this or that.
Cakey -Pie,
hey, yep, I thought the same wif' yore Misters---an ain't the second time we's sorta dovetailed on topics..heh.
Moi,
(still miffed you ain't mah new Presidentia) But ya see that vintage Madame Gres gown????
Iamnot,
youse crackin' me up! Most were confidants more'n playmates, ya know?
Troll-Man,
well, thar's a partial list at the end in tags...but each is a history lesson of her era in miniature. Madame Curie of course, is stellar. And Mde, Chaing Kai-Schek.
Sargent's famous paintin' MAdame X and the movie Madame X ...Madame Lebrun a famous lady painter ina self portrait...etc.
So THAT'S what Christina Ricci is wearing! No one did pleated silk jersey better than Gres.
You always find the most wonderful old pictures Aunty. Fabulous Mute Monday as always.
Madame Belle,
BRAVO!
Between the Croque Madame, Belle from Gone with the Wind, and the infamous Madame Bovary...this is AMAZING, my dear madame!
Ahhh, madame, an excellent choice. well done!
i want the food! with that beer, of course, too..
