Lovely stuff, Chris and Laura, but Manet was no more creepy than any other male of his day. His 'Olympia' is all about woman taking charge of their lives. He painted Laure (the African servant) three times, once in a portrait. He respected her.
I loved this piece. I'll never be able to look at a Manet again without thinking of him as a creep. I have three fur coats (all hand-me-downs) and only 3 pairs of stockings, so I'm way short on being able to be properly dressed. I'm dying to use the word "gumchewerish" and I'm sure you had to bite your tongue not to coin "over-elaborate bewhiskyment," which can happen. Now why don't you do THE OBVIOUS and write us a book about Paris? You've got one chapter in the bag right here. Onwards!

Sazeracs are what the gods would have drunk if only they'd made mixology the portfolio of one of their peers.
This makes me miss Paris and you and C all the more. As if that were possible.
