Rare Film of Monet, Renoir, Rodin and Degas
Fine art enthusiasts will appreciate these fascinating 100-year-old film clips of four of the most celebrated artists in history; Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Auguste Rodin, and Edgar Degas. In 1915, with the newly innovated film camera, a young Russian-born, French actor named Sacha Guitry captured some of France’s greatest artists and authors.

But do you know “bobo” in Paris?
This witty fusion of the words bourgeois and bohème to bobo refers to the mélange of traditionally polarized social groups. The term has penetrated the vocabulary of even the most reclusive Parisian.
If you’re Parisian and you are one part conservative bourgeoisie, one part young, progressive bohemian, you might just be bobo.

A few days ago I posted about a fashion model and her photographer that I saw in Paris. The model was very striking. I opened the New York Times today and saw the same model in this article:

Don’t know who she is, but I saw her in Paris and that was pretty fun!
