The original Moulin Rouge, Paris, 1914...I visited in the late 60s on a tour of Parisian tourist traps: grossly overpriced offerings to enjoy while watching poorly costumed ladies dance to canned music...disappointing even to a naïve undergrad...

Garb of a state executioner, India, 1903...
We have a few of these lamps, which don't have a common internal lamp shade arrangement. M'Sahib found a place in BKK which will change the material of the lamp shade, so we sent a couple from upstairs off last week. Just got back today.

Pretty good job, and only 600 baht per lampshade plus postage.

They were around 14 years old, and were more of a contrast to the previous colour of the walls, plus not a bit threadbare. M'Sahib is now going to send a further three shades off to be re-covered.Quote:

This 1,700-year-old blue glass bowl, a little more than 8 inches in diameter, was found buried next to a woman at the center of a cemetery at the Roman settlement of Emona in present-day Ljubljana in Slovenia.
Its Greek inscription reads: "Drink to live forever, for many years!"
Hippies at the original 1969 Woodstock festival sell LSD for just one dollar...(probably teakddoor members now)

OhOh you should have been to some of the raves in the GMEX in the late 90's the VIP section had hotties dressed as Red Indian Squaws with either hot pants or mini-mini skirts and shot glass bandoliers and side pockets for tequila and vodka bottles - they straddled your chest and poured straight down your throat if you were bad :)
