- French Hottie Opens Tour in Vancouver Posted by Drinky Crow on April 12th, 2010
Charlotte Gainsbourg emerged onstage looking all the celebrity she is, which is saying something, given that she is essentially French royalty (she’s the descendant of Serge Gainsbourg and British actress/vixen Jane Birkin, as well as being a serious actress in her in own right).

She had this fuzz pad thing, not sure what its called, but depending on where you touch it, and how you touch it, it creates space effects, which in my mind give her sound extra goodness… Read the rest of the review here
