Paris By Night: 1930s Paris - Prostitution

The photographs of Paris by Brassaï are beautiful and deeply expressive. Brassaï was a Hungarian photographer and artist who rose to fame in Paris during the 1930s. His book "Paris de Nuit" ("Paris By Night"), published in 1933, is a fasinating pictorial essay - from the elegance of the opera to the gritty world of prostitution. From high society to hookers and hoodlums, his photographs capture the essence of Paris nightlife in the 1930s.

Traci Lords - "Fallen Angel"

I came across this lovely music video of Traci Lords; the song, "Fallen Angel", is a beautiful and hypnotic selection of trance music.  A former adult film star who has successfully navigated to mainstream artistry, Ms. Lords has overcome a difficult and troubled past and is now a successful businesswoman.
