All dressed up in love
[Brace yourself folks, this is gonna be a long one]
Recently i've found myself utterly fascinated by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a french painter who is famous for portraying provocative images of the decadent Parisian lifestyles,
mostly involved in theatres and near Montmarte, which he loved.
Theres just something about his tragic life that seems romantic
[though i dont know why, due to an illness his legs ceased to grow so he was extremely short...plus he used to spend a lot of time at brothels...but still, its romantic dont ask me why,heh]
The picture above is one of his most famous paintings,
of dancer Louise Weber who created the French can-can,
and performed at the Moulin Rouge under the La Goulue.
Here lies another tragic story but pls google urself if u wanna find out more about le toulouse or Louise Weber
Moving on,
