F.A.Q.
My domain name was something I came up with after a trip to France when I visited the Pont du Gard, which is a Roman aqua-duct that still stands over the Gard river (located in the South of France). I decided to take a swim downstream and back and on my way I swam by four tan French boys. I stood up in the shallow water and began to walk and one of the boys called "Vous et tres blanche!" "Oui!" I replied and as I continued up the river, one of the boys called, "Madame Blanche!" Well, Madame Blanche was taken so I settled on Mlle. Blanche.
The name of my website, The Dass with the Lelicate Air, came from William Michals first CD and one of the first songs I learned while taking voice lessons. It was a German folk song called "The Lass with the Delicate Air". I had tremendous trouble singing the song because I confused letters and sang "The Dass with the Lelicate Air..." In January I purchased William Michals CD "If I Sing" and during his rendition of "The Sadder but Wiser Girl" from Music Man, he made the same mistake that I had! It made me laugh so I decided that it's a perfect title for this site, all thanks to William.

Here's a warning for those of you delicate cacti (or flowers, cacti is really only if you live in the desert) out there. If you are easily offended then you should view this warning and heed it:
I've tried not to use the "f-word", but it's a warning more for if you're looking at my journal. So if you don't like it, then leave before you get the urge to wash my mouth out with soap cause... I don't like the flavor of soap and my family is from New York so of course we say fuck... And thanks to Jerrold for the graphic and thanks to the Poxy Boggards for the idea. You have now been warned.
This section of the website, being a new addition, will probably be updated and changed as I see fit. If you are looking for the old profile, that can be found here. If you would like information on my career, the please, go here. So much for the FAQ!
