Does Primolut N Contain Horse Urine

London!


Good idea sent by Amandine. Because yes, this blog is TOO International (the class). Thank you Amanda!

This summer, the sculptor Antony Gormley invites people of the United States to participate in the creation of an amazing living monument.

They moved to occupy the fourth pillar of empty Trafalgar Square in London ... a place normally reserved for statues of kings and generals. They become the representation of all mankind.

All times, 24 of 24 for 100 days without interruption, a different person appropriates the pillar. People selected can use their time as they wish. One and Other is open to everyone, from anywhere in the UK, with at least 16 years and wishing to participate in this unforgettable artistic experience.

According Gormley, the use of the fourth pillar is the very expression of what makes London a unique city: its people and its diversity.

When I Brush The Back Of Tongue I Spit Blood

Fire! The thing


This image is that of destruction, published at the time of reconstruction ...
Deyrolle, the famous Parisian taxidermist shop-office-more than curiosities burned in February 2008. During the fire, affecting the first floor, some furniture and animals is passed, reserving firefighters strange surprises ...
The revamped store reopened its doors to the public. You can again see all sorts of beasts legs small (butterflies, stick insects, beetles etc. ..) and large (the fawn to the giraffe), and reptiles, and some shellfish. In short, anything edible, but enough to feed the curiosity and the jointers to the eye.
From the fire, the photographer Laurent Bochet fired a series of both funny and apocalyptic, where animals half-eaten by fire still seem to pose with firefighters in their middle-class home and yet devastated.
images are named as the heat reached the heart of the inferno: 1000 °. They are exposed at this time in their models among Deyrolle cerrains which have become stars of advertising. A book
beautiful but expensive (120th) is published for the occasion from Assouline.
Visit: 46, rue du Bac, 75007 Paris.
