A while ago we were watching a doco on the Crazy Horse Cabaret of Paris; it followed some new dancers through their training. I was a little surprised when they interviewed some of the parents who described how proud they were. Then I remembered that the thing about French people being more open about nudity is not just a stereotype, e.g. topless bathing is more common than in English-speaking countries (but they do, in fact, shave their armpits; the French claim that it's German women who don't).
Then it went one step further - Cindy's mum thought that it would be good for us to have a cultural experience and decided to shout us tickets to see the show. It was excellent, very artistic:
Apart from the erotic dancers, there was a pair of male tap dancers to prove that it was a real cabaret and not just a strip club. They had quite a funny routine and were obviously talented. It must be hard competing with all those boobs.
