Fine Taxidermy


I was at Le Club the other night (or as the kids call it, Ms. Mae's) and I noticed that my favorite taxidermed squirell had been removed from its perch above the bar. I hadn't been to Le Club for about a year, and I asked the bartender about the squirrel. He said that it didn't make it in the fire they had last year (the one where the patrons refused to make way for NOFD because there was a Saints game on).

A few days later, I happened to read an article on this Paris establishment. I often fantasize about what I'd do if I hit powerball, and I definitely think I would buy some fine Parisian taxidermy. Unfortunately, Deyrolle had a devastating fire of its own last year (VF doesn't have a link to the article on their website)but I understand that it is well on the road to recovery. Incidently, I don't read French, but I still spent a few minutes gazing at the pretty pictures ysterday.
