Carla von Lahnstein may be my newest European fantasy lover, but Laetitia Sadier, lead singer of Stereolab, has given me special tingles since 1992. She’s tall, dark and brainy, has an accent, and seems like she’d smell faintly of cigarettes and red wine, but not in a bad way. I’d love to sit at un cafĂ© with Laetitia, both of us looking bored while sipping red wine and talking about le philosophe. If I could be her microphone for one song, I’d be totally willing to ignore the fact that she’s French and decidedly left of Lenin.

Behold Laetitia! (she’s in the black sweater):

    Laetitia Sadier did a nice job singing the Bardot half of Serge Gainsbourg’s “Bonnie and Clyde” in Luna’s mid-’90s cover of the song.

    ESP: I can always count on you to know the most random, yet totally context-appropriate, bits of trivia.

    Dr. Z: She le cool!

    Sarah: I know! So many European countries, so many bored-yet-sexy looking women with accents. Sigh…
