Les Raboteurs de Parquet

Jump to Comments

Well, I don’t like to write those kind of posts too much about how wonderful and great and hot and sexay my life is and how awesome it is to be, you know, *the* Bitchy fucking Jones – queen of the motherfucking dominoes. But, oh, ’cause sometimes it so rocks to be me.

‘Cause everyone (who I haven’t enraged yet) loves me and I get teh pretties.

A dear reader sent me this 19th century painting by Caillebotte (well, a picture of it – not that actual painting, which you can’t really do using internets anyway).

Ni-ice, huh?

And really, so innocent. They’re just scraping up/sanding/somethinging a floor

  • Well, BJ, you do rox0rz :)

    Innocent. Yes. That’s it.

  • That looks like it would go well in HDFU…

  • I saw that painting in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. It held my attention for some time…

  • Oh cha-ing! (? Random onomatopoeic sexy(ish) noise?) I love that painting. Thanks for reminding me of it.

    I promise I will send you sexy naked artistique men piccies I find, especially if they are dirty or chained or working hard or suffering. :D

  • Er if you want them I mean.

  • OMFG! I have a print of this up on my living room wall! It is one of my favourite paintings; it’s so beautiful. I’ve seen the original in the flesh (also at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris), and yes, it is as sexy as you might imagine; more so, actually.

  • Raboter = to scrape (sorry, I have a French-fetish), so their somethinging is scraping. It’s a lovely painting.

  • “parquet” is referring to the floor. So “The floor scrapers”.

    I am currently torn between “Ooh-er!” and “How did I not see that when *I* was at the Musée d’Orsay?” Currently the former is winning.

  • Yes, this painting really has an erotic athmosphere about it…
