But Neve, you can’t start a book and leave it halfway through,” he’d said implacably. “It’s almost as bad as turning down the corner of the page, instead of using a bookmark.

She is defined and differentiated with reference to man and not he with reference to her; she is the incidental, the inessential as opposed to the essential

Dita von Teese posing atop Victor Noir’s grave statue in Paris, 2003
“There is a myth about the statue of Victor Noir that has made it legendary.  The sculpture has a very noticeable protuberance in Noir’s trousers. This has made it one of the most popular memorials for women to visit in the famous cemetery.  The myth says that placing a flower in the upturned top hat after kissing the statue on the lips and rubbing its genital area will enhance fertility, bring a blissful sex life, or, in some versions, a husband within the year. As a result of the legend, those particular components of the oxidized bronze statue are rather well-worn.”
