Brigitte Bardot exhibition

There were posters everywhere in St Tropez for the Brigitte Bardot exhibition so we decided to go. It was really fun! She was so beautiful, no wonder she was and still is such an icon! I took a couple of photos; do you see any here that you've never seen before? And has anyone seen her films? Are they any good?

Here is an original postcard that she wrote and sent from Capri! This is her handwriting - interesting!

The most gorgeous back

Are you familiar with Auguste Rodin's sculptures? There is one that I particularly love... I believe it is called La Danaïde.

Isn't this the most beautiful back? Can you believe it is made out of stone? 

Rodin apparently made five marble versions of La Danaïde. The one below seems to have been auctioned off at Christie's in 2006. I'm not sure I'm counting the number of zeros right but somebody paid ("price realised") $3,040,000 for this?! (click to enlarge)

Next time you're in Paris, go to Musée Rodin - 79, rue de Varenne - 75007 Paris

Shadow art

What does this look like to you?

It's supposed to be a dog. It's a bit of hand shadow art... created with my hands, I'm proud to add. Well, at least I thought it was pretty good until I saw...

These by a professional duo:

And these - made with rubbish! Incredible!

How talented a shadow artist are you?!
