... that the objects placed on Le Mur ("The Wall") of Cabaret des Quat'z'Arts (pictured) were meant to be seen rather than to be read?

Rosiestep, you have a nude dancer in Whiting 53-54, but it's not in the article? Drmies (talk) 03:41, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Drmies, what nude dancer? --Rosiestep (talk) 03:51, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

OK, Bru and Thacker p. 57 have it too: your joint is named for one specific ball, 9 February 1893, when those dastardly students from the Beaux-Arts Academy had living paintings with naked (or nude, or nekkid) women in them. And there was a lawsuit! Whiting 53 only mentions one nude dancer. Anyway, , of course. Nice. (Everything checks out, though I made a few tweaks to the Le Mur section.)

[What I'm also saying is that your hook is, well, great, but nude dancers and arrests are nice too. Drmies (talk) 04:06, 3 September 2013 (UTC)]

Whoa; I guess I missed all that! So in the meantime, I've expanded the article, and here's ALT1: ... that the Cabaret des Quat'z'Arts (pictured) was named after an 1893 costume ball at the Moulin Rouge which included naked women as living paintings? --Rosiestep (talk) 03:44, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Ha, trust me not to miss that. Can you tell I'm happily married? Ten years now. Drinking, nudity, and a lawsuit--that's the holy trinity of any Unforgettable Party. Anyway, hook is approved, a few minor edits are made. I just saw that you reviewed Der Busant, that I've been working on with User:Crisco 1492--don't tell User:BlueMoonset or they'll suspect collusion or even socking. Good to go!
