I guess that's where you slip (stuff) the bills.

OK, I'll take the one on the left.

Big gun, big . . .

I really like Viennese late 19th, early 20th Century art. I like that its style touched art, architecture, furniture, and every day elements. Also, if you want to get fat, its desserts can't be beat.

Doesn't he have to be in class sometime?

And I am imagining you without the pink . . . or black . . . green.

Are you giving or are you taking?

I think it is well known that during WWII before the Nazis occupied Paris the Louvre was closed for three days for "repair work" and much of the great art housed there was placed in wooden cases. It was then removed for safe storage to various French provinces. However, the gentleman (Jacques Jaujard) who organized the packing of the art and where various pieces were to go so that they were not found and taken by the Germans had coordinated just such an equally massive undertaking a short time before during the Spanish Civil War. At that time the League of Nations recommended that the contents of the Prado be carefully packed up and moved to various Spanish cities and eventually to Switzerland so as to elude being taken by any one side. Jaujard, along with delegations from other European and American museums, organized the evacuation. https://www.thecollector.com/jacques-jaujard-louvre-museum/

I'll get a smile from you yet.

As Harryinny mentioned the first time came be painful, more because you are not sure what to expect. The trick I learned was to always engage the person doing the waxing in conversation (of any sort). People like to talk (generally). I have found that a waxed asshole area makes "personal cleanliness" a whole lot easier. If you keep having it done it seems that you have to have it done less and less. I just have a "partial Brazilian" and the back so it doesn't take a whole lot of time. I am too hairy to have my chest done but the waxer can also do a trim of the pubic area and the chest. It might be a little uncomfortable the next day but not very. They actually provided me with a cream I could apply if I felt necessary but I don't think I ever used it. I just made sure that I kept really clean while it healed naturally. That might be a day or two. I have heard "sugaring" mentioned a few times but I have no idea what it is so I cannot compare it. It would be interesting to try to see which last longer.

Chita, honey, not one of those dancers is "looking into [your] eyes".

One of my favorite movies is The Russian Ark directed by Alexander Sokurov. It is filmed in the Winter Palace of St, Petersburg so I hope it is the right place. It is amazing because it is a documentary/historical drama showing the museum since its inception and really amazing because it is a 96 minute movie filmed in one shot depicting the movies 300 year history and various characters. The same director did one about the Louvre but I did not like it as much.

OK, what if I add another week of vacation . . . with me of course?

One of my favorite museums is the Rodin Museum in Paris which contains some of the namesake's greatest works, including The Thinker, The Kiss, Adam, and the model for the Gates of Hell. Besides the sculptures, the museum is surrounded by beautiful grounds where I shall one day be married. http://www.musee-rodin.fr/sites/musee/files/jm_4540.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f3s3zOjS824/Ua5TFT7vIFI/AAAAAAAAEu8/HaJf4JwzOiE/s1600/Rodin_TheThinker.jpg http://www.abc.net.au/news/image/7997008-3x4-700x933.jpg

"Take it like a man." I think in this case it might be the other way around.

Something tells me that he will be picked up rather quickly.

Talk about an abundance of riches.

Well placed tan lines go a long way.

I bet you will be saying those words to me in about 35 minutes.

I guess Pietro just needed a day away from the blackboard.

There is a lot I would give (?$) to walk into my bathroom and have those eyes looking at me.
