FROM   "STARS ILLUSTRATED" MAGAZINE,  DECEMBER 2004.  http://www.worldartcelebritiesjournal.com/stars_illustrated_magazine.htm
GRANDE DAME                    PAULETTE ATTIE: La Crème de La Crème

ATTIE: "On a scale of 1 to 10 as to what gets you the job, talent is number 11."

ATTIE: "We give the aura of being a femme fatale when we really have no need to be one. "   

When epistemologists, linguists and "crafters" of languages define or interpret words, phrases and adages, they bear responsibility. For the word is mightier than a sword. To them and to responsible writers and authors, the word becomes sacred and the "Verb" reaches the throne of divinity. Consequently, writing about an artist, a singer, a performer, a painter or even a hustler or a gigolo demands the ultimate respect for words and opinions liberated on the landscape of ink, papers and linens. Unfortunately, so many art and music critics allow themselves to ignore these rules. Thus, their words become meaningless upon  using clichés, copies metaphors and  borrowed eulogies. Words, adjectives and attributes such as "Silky Voice", "Sultry Voice", "Strong stage presence", "Sexy Voice", " Husky Voice", "Charismatic Presence", "Perfect Phrasing", "Divine", "She is Terrific", et al, bore me to death. Those critics become permissive, irresponsible and banal. And writing about Ms. Paulette Attie requires such high respect for narrative accuracy and the dignity of the word. To call Ms. Attie "Divine" or "Sensational" is a childish approach to understand, feel, sense, explore and admire the beautifully intelligent and warmly captivating multidimensional art and multifaceted universe of her creativity. Ms. Attie is larger than life and her talents transcends the ordinary frontiers of limited minds and those who pretend to know art and music without rendering homage only and only to those artists who brought beauty to our world, sun to our homes, fresh breeze to our prairies and a delightful madness to our dreams, wishes and fantasies. Ms. Attie brought  those and much more... She brought class, style, elegance, nostalgia, finesse, unbelievable originality, savoir-faire, warmth and depth to the world of music, stage,  radio, television, chansons, operas, and humanities. And what she brought defines the standards of excellence in art. You knew the woman as a dazzling and a bright star. But this is NOT enough. For, you have to know "PAULETTE ATTIE" the human being behind the mic, behind the curtains and behind the glowing reviews she received and stormy applauses which cracked down the largest stages around the world, where Grande Dame Attie performed and took the audience by storm.  You will be mesmerized by her sense of finesse, details, construction of her phraseology, world culture, high ethical principles, rebellious and gratifying wit, her edgy sense of humor, the stories, the stories and Lord, once again, the wonderful stories she will tell you, and on the top of this, you better add 2 or 3 tons of wealth of knowledge of the world of music, the history of performing arts, the jokes and personal stories of legends and superstars she worked with or knew. You've got to know the world of Ms. Attie  and learn about her accomplishments, the people she invited to accompany her on the roads of life, stage, theater, silver screen, radio, television, cabarets, cozy performances, dashing  and gigantic musical productions she led and starred in...You have to listen to this woman and learn what life is before and behind the glitters of show business, for she is the super diva and queen of world showbiz! Did I forget to mention that Paulette's classical and aristocratic beauty will mesmerize the hell out of you...and her hypnotic and sinfully magnetizing direct rapport with her entourage - in this case, you, if you are lucky- Did I? If I did, I do not feel guilty, for I know deep down in my heart and somewhere in the empty valley of my absurd intellectualism... I know, Paulette Attie's qualities, virtues and talents rival the Iliad in its length and its dramatic esthetics. But how about hard facts/ Facts about this woman? What did she do? What is so special about this Venus? Get ready. Here we are. Grab a Remy Martin, bite gently on your brown sugar cube and get ready to sail in the infinite and magical world of this Goddess...
