Paris Part 2: Museum Bling

This post is pretty exclusively filled with things I found cool or would liked to have stolen from, the Louvre. I've been experiencing some writer's block so I think I'm just gonna free-associate this one.

Four horsemen + posse of the maybe apocalypse. 

Bird w/ personal bodyguard.

Chiseled. You are welcome.

Judging you.

Tiny nudists.

Perched. I love the pyramid.







Neck buttons lend an air of formality to even the dreariest of Tuesdays.

I'd be sad if I had to wear that hat too.

That lip color is really in right now.

Let's be honest, allegories and metaphors and religious meanings aside, I pretty much gravitate to the weird stuff in museums. Like the skull and other odd bits hanging off the belt of the girl in the middle. I love all three of them, but that girl can CARRY a skull and set o' keys.

This is just funny. I don't know why, but it gave me the museum giggles.

I get a similar look on my face when I realize at 7:01 PM that I have no dessert in the house and the grocery stores are all closed because Swiss people are so responsible that they buy chocolate in bulk.

Door bling. Napoleon had such humble taste.

Breakfast Nook.



If pressed, I'd accept this as a gift.

Or this.

This I would outright steal.

Along with these.



Beauty.


We're going to close this post with the single best item in the whole damn museum. Amongst all the hundreds of thousands of exquisitely crafted works of art spanning thousands of years of human history, this little creature is sitting in a glass case blowing a raspberry at me because I am taking it all waaay too seriously. Just a good thing to know. For perspective.
