Does anyone else think Miranda looks like a man?

Speaking of Tempest, this is something interesting from music.  When asked why his Sonata No. 17 in D minor was so heavy with sturm und drang, Beethoven is believed to have said "Read Shakespeare's The Tempest!" which is why it's now called the Tempest Sonata.  It's disputed, though.

Oh, and the 3rd movement is wonderful, too:

Sorry about having to bring music into the discussion!

Napoleon - Madame de Remusat

Paganini looks at the naked woman.  Napoleon looks at Paganini.

I thought bras were from after Napoleon's death, and, according to Wikipedia, it's generally true, apart from the bizzare 14th century bra found in Austria.

Edit:  I meant Napoleon's death, not Chopin's.  Both are correct, though.

Seriously, though, why is she naked?
