But I remember the beauty. -
Even sexual. -
It must be in the eyes of onlookers.
Just a few feet away, museum visitors witnessed a peep show at celluloid centuries ago.
In a large box with eight windows, there is a female mannequin in Middle Eastern clothing.
According to the logo attached, men will pay through the opening of the "exposed slave girl.
"In addition to several sculptures and paintings, a new exhibition shows the art of original posters selected from hundreds of people in the Exodus collection.
Even people who are completely uninterested in watching porn have to laugh at the people who hyped off on "M * a * S * H, it is called "N * U * R * S * E * S ".
