rhythmaningOn Tuesday I watched a tv programme about Paris. Rather than the in-depth inverview with Ms Hilton I had been expecting, it was a travelogue of the city. It reminded me that I hadn't been to Paris for many years (which made me a bit sad).
It was a fairly cliched travelogue - lots of pictures of Montmartre, the Eiffel Tower, patisseries, cafes and bars; and the Louvre. But in the Louvre, as well as Gericault's The Raft of the Medusa and the Mona Lisa, they showed a full screen image of Courbet's Origin of the World. The reviewer in the Independent described this as "the greatest crotch shot in world art", and it was kind of surprising to see it given such prominence on BBC2.
On the radio this evening, they described Jacqui Smith, the newly appointed Home Secretary, as "a former teacher, mother and housewife". I am still trying to work out how she could be a formerhousewife mother.
