Didn't JackLuis post about the new People's Daily building in China? (Article from The Guardian.) Owing to its bulbous shape with a rounded top, much fun has been had manipulating images of it to dangle from the TV headquarters building which have been nicknamed the Big Underpants. These piccies are banned in China, LOL.

Torre Agbar, Barcelona, nicknamed "el Pene" (the penis). Here's its light show:

A light up penis! I feel as if Christmas has come. :D

Barcelona FC, the most beautiful football played in the world happens at the Camp Nou. (And they are a socialist team, too.)

Homage to Catalonia (George Orwell)

Barcelona is my favourite city, and Las Ramblas my favourite promenade.

I love Barcelona too! I love to go to the Fundacio Miro, I make a pilgrimage ;) to a painting called something like Hands Flying to the Stars. I went to Barcelona once at the tail end of a very unhappy love affair. I was very thin, very unhappy and wearing a dress like two pocket handkerchiefs sewn together. There was a completely out of season rain shower and I had to wade up Las Ramblas in two inches of standing water. I tried to buy an umbrella, I was so sad that the tourist rip off merchants took pity on me and cheated themselves to sell me an elegant one under which I could look like a character out of a Renoir painting. (Except with a much shorter skirt.)

Some of Renoir's women had skirts so short they weren't to be seen:

When I was an undergrad many years ago, I interned for a curator at a NYC art museum. An elderly woman came in to see him, while I was there working, for an appraisal on a little Renoir she wished to sell. She was very embarassed during the conversation. He tried to calm her, and it eventually turned out that she had modeled for the artist when she was a teenager. He had paid her with some of his paintings and drawings. She was embarassed, though, because the Renoir nude that hung on the wall behind the curator's desk was of her.:)

Oh Tio, that is a fantastic story! And so appropriate to this site. How lovely.

We must have our dejeuner sur l'herbe one of these days. ;)

Your Barcelona dress - the soaked two-handkerchief one - would be perfect for such an outing, my dear. I shall bring some of our Canadian specialties, including a variety of our best ice ciders.

(That reminds me that there is a good article on travelling around Britain tasting ciders which I must post in Naked, as there are a number of cider fans in there.)

Delicious! I've tried the ice wine, but not the ice cider. For a Manet style dejeuner sur l'herbe, even my two wet hankies may be regarded as over dressing! but I will abide by your excellent sartorial judgement ;). If you are very good, I will even wear glasses and peer over them.

I was picturing you in the pond...;) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fc/Édouard_Manet_-_Le_Déjeuner_sur_l'herbe.jpg

Peer over your glasses! Purse your painted lips as well, and I am undone, milady.
 
I take it you're not reading to piglet from your "Little Black Book" LOL:D

I had to change the AV just for you LOL.:kiss:

LOL, how honoured we are to be allowed to see you getting up in the morning! No, I don't read to Piglet from the things that I read :devil: although occasionally there's a kitten video posted in Naked that I'm able to share :D.

I'm writing a blogpost called My Pussy ;).

But I'm afraid it will be all about safe sex! :D since my pussy ... cat fell pregnant even though she came with assurances that she had been spayed. :mad: She is walking fatly about consuming huge quantities of expensive cat food even as I type.

That sounds like a must read! How is the little slut doing, lol. Did you get a chance to take her to the vet?
