Leda: Every SA I talk to does NOT pronounce it like the french word décolleté. So while I am not saying that I am 100% accurate in my assumption that this is what Mr. L intended I will stick to it!!!

^That's the way I say Decollete, but for some reason I always feel very self-conscious! As if people will think I'm being French and snobbish! :blushing:

^^ I actually feel self-conscious about the way I say "Christian" not the "Louboutin" part. I say "Chreest-ee-ahn" and I feel like people think I should just say Christian the way Americans do. Does that make any sense?
