Venus in Furs
In 1651 Diego Velazquez finished his famous “Venus”, everybody knows her delightful back. But does anybody know the original version?

Velazquez, Venus at her Mirror, or Venus in Furs
As Leopold von Sacher-Masoch noticed later, Venus in her own furs feels much more comfortable and dominant. This feeling is very actual in the world today, as We advise gently.
Venuses from all over the world, wear your own furs and be proud of it!
If you, unfortunately, have no fur, as, for example, humans and snakes, please invent your own artificial fur. Use your knowledge and imagination, and never use other Venuses’ furs.
Thus speaks Zarathustra the Cat
