Louvre - 1st visit

Arriving early has its benefits...

...almost no queue!

Venus de Milo is always shown in postcards and books front-on.

I think that there is a reason for this - she seems to show a serious case of 'plumber's crack' - an inevitable side effect of wearing your robe so low down on your hips. Not just an early 21st century fad.

Hey! Don't point that camera up MY NOSE!!

But.. I think she is very elegant from every angle.
