Background
Boucher’s L’Odalisque
François BOUCHER; Paris, 1703 - Paris, 1770
Un délicieux exotisme de boudoir règne dans cette image qui pourrait représenter Madame Boucher.
Le spectacle impudique du corps abandonné au désordre des étoffes confère un caractère délibérément licencieux à ce tableau.
Aaah no, they’re wrong the tableau is of me not Madame Boucher
I’m here in Paris waiting and I’m not here for to coucher
I am ready I am ready for our love and lust and passion
Licentious, shameless, lustful – yes - but in a moral sort of fashion
This hotel room – boudoir – is warm, the sheets are in disorder
A delicious time awaits us both, once you have crossed the border
I conjure up in my mind’s eye your body warm and tasty
Imprudent, rash and reckless – yes - but not unwise or hasty
So here I am my sweet sweet love, lying here for your pleasure
Hot and sticky, clothes disordered, take me at your leisure
Body naked, bottom bare and pink but not say too far
Exotic, mysterious, interesting, - yes - but really not bizarre
