la gamine



i chose the name for the blog because a) i like the way it sounds b) it was available and c) i secretly aspire to be one.

from wikipedia:

"gamine is a french word, the feminine form of gamin, originally meaning urchin, waif, or playful, naughty child. the word was used in english from about the mid 19th century, but in the 20th century, came to be applied in its more modern sense of a slim, often boyish, wide-eyed young woman who is, or is perceived to be, mischievous, teasing or sexually appealing."
