Goines On: Dalida’s purse

Click image for more vignettes
A friend of Goines in Paris sent him a photo of the bronze bust in Montmartre’s Place Dalida commemorating the French music icon Iolanda Cristina Gigliotti. The friend reported that “everything is going to Hell in a Hand-Basket these days. In days of yore, as I remember them, the patina on the sculpture was uniform, but step by step in the General Degradation of Public Mores, Dalida’s breasts were polished, thanks to the attentions of passers-by.”
    Goines told his friend that Dalida was fortunate her bronze didn’t include her torso and pocket book. Otherwise Trump visitors since 2016 might have polished her purse and pussy as well....


Iolanda Cristina Gigliotti (1933-1987)
Wikipedia: “French singer and actress, born in Egypt
to Italian parents...won the Miss Egypt beauty contest
in 1954 and began a 31-year singing career in 1956,
selling 170 million albums and singles worldwide...
died by suicide in 1987.”
