Well, with all the rain these last few days, I must admit that when I walk out of my house towards my car in the morning, I imagine a few (good) men surrounding me with wonderful umbrellas, exactly as in the picture above. (the rain is getting to me, I know; but if Catherine Deneuve can have it, so can I)
