Dita wrote in her journal (Jun 2003) about this shoot:

"The shoot at Mr. Victor Noir's grave went well, it's a gorgeous statue! He is life size, lying down, and is made of bronze. He's from the 1800s, so he's fairly short, about 5'5 or so and he is quite handsome! He's dressed in a suit, but his shirt is unbuttoned to his waist, and what's really interesting is that it shows the bullet hole where he was shot. He was killed in a duel for having criticized a relative of Napoleon III. The statue shows him as he fell. He died in 1870, and had a reputation as a playboy. I don't know how the legend came about that women take a ride upon him in order to increase their fertility, but he has been seeing alot of action in the past decade and a half!"

Dita wrote in her journal (Jun 2003) about this shoot:

"Buried in the Pere Lachaise cemetery is Oscar Wilde, whose extravagant tomb has an art deco statue of some sort of Greek god whose penis has apparently fallen off. His tombstone is covered in lipstick kisses, hundreds of them. I am a big fan of Mr. Wilde, but I chose not to leave my lips on his grave for two reasons. I felt it would be inappropriate while having such an intimate encounter with Mr. Noir (see below), and there was a sign displayed asking visitors not to deface the tomb!"

Howdy Y'all...these comments were meant for yesterday.  It was going to be Marilyn and Mosh Monday for D and Bettie Page and Dita for "No More Monkey Business" Monday (12 monkeys quote and I heard it in Brad Pitt's voice everytime I think of that phrase). However, I could not find videos and I ran outta time (if anyone has good Bettie or Marilyn video links, help a sister out lol). So Tease Me Tuesday Love Mwaaaaaaaaaaaaah
