I have a kid (I think I am the father) age 14. I don't listen to him so why should I listen to a brat who doesn't speak English like an American?

That's a bold exclamation to make here.

Yeah right. Dutch weblog Alt0169 called her the perennial 13-year-old in 1999. You can buy the CD, if this is your thing.

Mouchette.org is an Internet art project by a member of the Hell.com collective. No little girls were harmed (or, for that matter, involved) in the making of the site.

By the way, mouchette is French for fly.

Actually, mouchette is French for an outer fillet; moulding plane; snuffers (for candle); barnacles (for horse); or nose-ring (for pig or bull)...anything, it seems, but a fly. Mouche is the proper French for "fly"...but perhaps it is a pet name where the "-ette" was added to the end of the noun to make it diminutive.

I stand corrected...although I was aware that it was a slangish word.

I think the name also used to be explained somewhere on that site. Probably something to the effect of "small fly."

Just the character's name, really =)

Or "petite mouche", yeah...
