Sophie: Elle-même - une cover-girl
Quotes
-
Sophie - the cover-girl : People are bored everywhere now. But boredom comes from within. If you've got an inner life, you're never bored.
-
Landry, African Immigrant : I find women in Saint-Tropez funny. They wear bikinis and do all they can to attract attention.
Sophie - the cover-girl : They wear extravagant dresses just because they're in Saint-Tropez.
Landry, African Immigrant : To think that in Africa, in some regions, women wear leaves to hide their sex, and the French colonialists make fun of us. But in a bikini a woman hides nothing at all.

Sophie - the cover-girl : It's no great fun being a model. By now I'm getting used to it. I've got to make a living and publicity photos pay a little. That's why I do it. Those who don't need to can always blame me. They're always the first to ask for a picture, because back home, it looks good to have a snap taken with a Saint-Tropez girl. They show it to their friends, it makes them happy.

Sophie - the cover-girl : So sweet and simple with their little push-up bras! There are lots of stars here and they draw the directors. So all the little Parisian girls come down here with their bikinis and tight pants, their long hair and mascara, their eyes made up just so. They all hope to meet a director. They've got everything but brains, which few of us have.
