au revoir, Eye On France.

Why, Miss Gorani, I do believe you were flirting with that young man (Raphael). The body language, certainly, implied some subtle flirting.

Also? Hot damn, Miss Gorani, that's quite some leg you're showing off there.

I've mentioned before, and I don't hesitate to mention again, that I love Hala when she speaks French. And this week has been bliss in that respect. It was also nice to have Hala seem so relaxed, so at ease with the on-location reporting, and she seemed to generally get along with the people she interviewed.

And, really, how (stereotypical) Parisian can that black top be?

You can go to the .org and browse the forum to find links and check out the different interviews Hala has been doing in France, and enjoy the Hala-speaking-French of it all. It's really a lot of fun, even if you can barely understand the language. Does anyone else on CNNI get this much media exposure?

A fun fact I didn't know and surprised myself by actually appreciating? Hala is well aware that Becky speaks French. A throwaway comment Hala shared, saying that new music acts are so in tune with their French roots, that they only choose to sing in the language, which Becky knows(!). And the easy banter was also surprising, because while I never caught the ice that some forum peeps mention, I don't recall them being this friendly. And did I mention Becky also speaks French (although the idea of her speaking French doesn't bring me to a warm fuzzy place the way Hala speaking French does... but I digress).

Last stop: France on the Move debate, which Ms. Gorani will be moderating. (air times: june 8 - 2000h, june 9 - 1200, 2100 CET... schedule which you probably already knew. heh.)



...
But, going back to the first picture, can somebody please tell Hala that, yes, we all love and adore her, but can she please button up and lower the hemline a bit? It's becoming rather alarming, and while we all love her (and her fab figure), she's still a news anchor, and the amount of skin is showing is really quite disturbing distracting. Feel free to wear it on your different appearances, just not while on the air interviewing, ok?



And, OMG, you can play Six Degrees from Stephen Colbert to Shihab Rattansi. It's disturbing, it's weird, and I can't believe I care. Oh well.
