 Mélanie Hurel as Florine   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Florine, danced in the past by the very greatest ballerinas, is yet thought of as an ungrateful role, since, as in many aspects of this earthly life of ours, the male of the species has rather more heroic things to do, things that verge on the impossible.
Florine is a woman, and her lover, at times a bird, at times in his true shape as a man. To please him, she may wish to appear somehow as a bird, though unlike him, she cannot fly.
Both Florine and the Blue Bird, are prisoners of the tower, the former unwilling, the latter willing, and both are prisoners of their shape.

 Rock Climbing Forums: Archive: World Climbing News: Hans Florine sets new solo record of The Nose (El Cap)
Florine also holds the speed record on The Nose of 2 hours 48 minutes, set with Yuji Hirayama in 2002.
Florine used a combination of techniques for his trip up El Cap including self-belayed leading, unroped soloing and “Metroviching” — a term created after Russ Mitrovich speed-soloed Zodiac without a rope, using daisy chains to stay clipped to at least two pieces at all times.
Florine passed a Korean party of four near the Great Roof, taking time to fix several ropes above them and to retrieve some water for them from Camp VI.

 CNNSI.com - SI Adventure - The El Capitan Climbing War - Wednesday July 31, 2002 11:18 AM
Neither O'Neill nor Potter doubted that the brashly self-promoting Florine, dubbed Hollywood Hans by his peers, would soon be charging up the 2,900-foot Nose in an attempt to reclaim the record he had held for nearly a decade.
On the morning of Nov. 2, Potter, 30, and O'Neill, 33, eclipsed Florine's mark by a half hour, in view of their nemesis, who for five straight mornings had dropped off his infant daughter, Marianna, at a day-care center and raced over to Yosemite Meadow to see if his rivals were on El Cap.
Unbowed, Florine resolved to launch another assault on the Nose, but it had to wait: the day before he had broken three fingers while climbing El Cap's Aquarian Wall route.

 A Daughter of Eve by Honore de Balzac - FLORINE
Moreover, Florine's actual means were precarious; her revenues came from her salary and her leaves of absence, and barely sufficed for her dress and her household expenses.
No one could ever understand how it happened that Florine, handsome as she was, had remained in obscurity for seven years; but the fact is, Florine was enrolled as a supernumerary at thirteen years of age, and made her debut two years later at an obscure boulevard theatre.
Florine thereupon offered to deliver over everything in eight days for eighty thousand,--"To take or leave," she said,--and the bargain was concluded.

Her Portrait of Myself shows the artist dressed in a diaphanous gown; she floats beneath the arch of her signature, which ends in a radiant sun and dancing mayfly.
