l?Absinthe restaurant in Paris
France’s favourite naughty tipple (erm, 100 years ago) has given its name to this extremely reputable restaurant.

You may know the shocking images of Goldin’s The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, but this is probably the first time you will have seen them as backdrop for a slightly burlesque concert by English group the Tiger Lillies.

Nan Goldin & The Tiger Lillies à la Cité de la Musique le 19 octobre 2010
Porter The Ballad of Sexual Dependency (La Ballade de la dépendance sexuelle) sur scène en musique ? Tout un programme, mais pas inintéressante comme démarche.
