naughty-bits - le 14 juin

Just before walking onto le Pont Alexandre III, we couldn't help by notice this lion-tamer...



Not all kiki are kiki. Some kiki are in fact buildings, or other monuments, but have very 'kiki-esque' qualities. Case in point...

Say what you want, La Tour Eiffel is one massive metallic phallic symbol.



This next one I might have missed. And you're right, it's NOT really a kiki, however... in a book I purchased, entitled "Les zizis de Paris" there are multiple photos of both the men and women statuary on le Pont Alexandre III grasping what are easily viewed as 'naughty bits'. How surprised were we when, after reviewing out photos we had numerous such pictures...



It can also be pointed out that while a great many statues in Paris show off the 'splendour' of the subject, it's not always human. It's astounding how much detail many sculpture have, and it's next to impossible to NOT see a well endowed cheval...



Some times in fact, as with this massive statue on Le Grand Palais, facing le Pont Alexandre III you have both human and bestial together...



And again as mentioned some monuments, are indeed 'monumental' if you know what I'm saying; Le Obelisk Luxor ...
