[from one of my blogs, http://invisiblevisiblefriend.wordpress.com/]
For the past couple of posts, I have made a general observation about the Central line (중앙선) here in Seoul: "The Central line (중앙선) is the subway line with all the oddest people in this region." However, now I will continue with making corrections to those earlier thoughts, since I have encountered this elderly and yet, creepy (sorry, granny but you are) odd lady:
(My Very Own) Madame Bijou happened to be on line 2, which is pretty much the "normal-as-it-could-be" subway ride. Usually on this side, there are not so many odd people.
However, on this day, I stood right in front of Mme Bijou, whose age was difficult to decipher though she was sitting like a queen in the reserved section for the "elderly/disabled/pregnant." I have named her Mme. Bijou, because she reminded me specifically of the Mme. Bijou briefly mentioned in the movie, Titanic: the day after the night when Rose (Kate Winslet) has been rescued by Jack Dawson. (Leonardo Dicaprio)
On this particular day, as they are taking their walk on the ship, Jack shows his eclectic sketches of les Parisiennes, and one of them was Mme. Bijou. Much like her-- not just in her exterior looks-- (my very own) Mme. Bijou mirrors that eerie aura, a spirit that is quite bedizened and tawdry.

Dressed in hues of green, she had more than three butterfly clips dangling lost in her great messy nest of a hair, on which she wore a hat that she put on with her two hands that had two watches on each of her wrists... She was certainly green with envy for these insects with two pairs of wings.
Perhaps she thought that with the right amount of time past, someday maybe she will have drowned herself with enough loads of butterfly accessories, flowers, and green; and then she would magically enlighten herself in the matter of how to be free like a butterfly once the time of her life has flown away from her?

Ça bien, Madame, mais seulement pour vous.
