I thought Alphonse Daudet and Tartarin of Tarascon inspired you

I know the book but not until fairly recently. How do you know the book? 
I have an old black & white postcard on the wall behind my computer that inspired me. The postcard looks old--maybe from around the 1930's.

Kinda just thought it up.  Maudibe said it suited me at the time, but I don't know what made me think of it.

Tartarin is a funny character, we read the book in elementary school and because I liked it, it is still in my mind. I will probably have to read it again but I am afraid it will not have the  same taste

It popped into my head when I registered for a forum back in late 2006.  I can't explain it.

this suddenly appeared on my twitter account ref your photo
Virginia Oldoini, Countess of Castiglione (1837 – 1899), was a beautiful 19th-century Italian aristocrat & courtesan.

Yes.  A friend mailed me a postcard of the photograph from the Museum of Modern Art long ago and I always found it intriguing.  There's a host of interesting costume photos of Oldoni.  Wikimedia commons has a smorgasbord of them.  She was photogenic and apparently not without a sense of humor.
