From Paris with love

Is it a sign of the times? In case you missed it, the Parisian metro system is sponsoring an erotic exhibiton at the national library. Over 350 texts (lisiting addresses of former brothels and the likes), photographs and sound installations are on view, to those over 16 that is. Even the metro is getting involved with a quickie erotic passage on the line 10. And meanwhile, French president Nicholas Sarkovy gallavants across the globe with his ex-model girlfriend and pop star Carla Bruni. Once a consort to Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton (not to mention an awkward father-son combo) and a declared polygamous, Ms. Bruni is rumored to be settling down with the French President with perhaps a baby in tow. In the city of loud cat-calls, quieter presidential mistresses and bare it all advertisements, this is just your daily news. “Hell at the Library, Eros in Secret” (L’Enfer de la Bibliothèque, Eros au secret) is on display until the 22nd of March.
