Hanging New Artwork & Reminders to Live

A couple of weeks ago, I purchased three pieces of art at Z Gallerie. I brought them home and have stewed for two weeks over whether they fit in with my prairie style ranch home and interior decor.

The pieces are by
Booker Morley. I really like them; the leaf theme is consistent with my interior design inspiration; and the colors complement the others in the bathroom. They're just a little too contemporary. I'm trying to decide if that's so bad...

You've Heard "It" All...

then there's this!

It seeems that Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris has fenced off a famous tomb to prevent lewd acts being performed on a statue.

It seems that the reclined statue of a 19th Century journalist, Victor Noir (whose real name was Yvan Salman) is very popular with women, partly due to his reputation as a romantic figure, and partly... just because.

Noir was killed by Pierre Bonaparte, a great-nephew of the Emperor Napoleon, the day before he was to marry.

Along with the fence there is a new sign that warns: "Any damage caused by graffiti or indecent rubbing will be prosecuted."

Well, ok then...
