I have a francofetish, anything French being for me “an object of irrational reverence or obsessive devotion” since about kindergarten.

But you all knew that. I am still mad at my mom for disappearing that shirt with the poodles and Eiffel Towers on it when I was 11. She said it was in tatters, but that’s not how I remember it.

I am doing myself and other francofetishists a favor and making some francofetishes (as in “material objects regarded with superstitious or extravagant trust or reverence”) available for purchase on the Francophilia site soon, via my FrancoStuff shop on CafePress.

I bought the FrancoMug just to check out the quality (don’t have it yet). There’s also a women’s (tiny) FrancoTankTop and a men’s (tight) FrancoT-shirt, both white.

Here’s the FrancoToteBag.

I am very attached to this big, red coq, even though he may not end up being the definitive Francophilia logo.

I already have a big, red rooster trivet my mom got me at Williams-Sonoma (doesn’t make up for the poodle shirt, Mom) and a glass cutting board with roosters all over it.

One can never have too much—rooster.

I’d like to know what you think (not about that). Should he be our logo?

I’m going to buy the other three items and do some QC. If you happen to get any of them, please give me some feedback about the quality of the image (and what it’s on), the size and placement of the design, etc. Also, I can add all kinds of products, so if you have a request, let me know.

Merci, mes amis !
