My favorite French Curve is a profile of an unclad young woman. Green plastic. Based on the pose she is apparently seated on a flat surface (but no butt indent), with one leg extended and the knee of the other leg raised. Same genre as the naked woman (in chrome) on a truck mud flap. While it has limited practical use, it does make digging through a taboret drawer full of French Curves/ship's curves, circle and ellipse templates, flexible curves etc. a bit more enjoyable.
