"[T]his makes it rather clear that Janet Jackson, via exposing her right breast and her juxtaposition with Beyonce (representing the American spirit), was 'designed' to embody Lady Justice/Liberty - signifying or prompting the rebirth of the spirit of 'Columbia'. The prevalent 'blackness' additionally alludes to the pertinence of another related figure Mary Magdalene, recently made popular by the huge success of the book The Da Vinci Code, as this biblical/esoteric 'wife' of Jesus - embodying the feminine and sexuality - was sometimes portrayed as the 'Black Madonna'."

La casualidad ha querido que Tiphaine y Laurence Auzière, hijas de Brigitte Macron y André-Louis Auzière, decidiesen adentrarse en el mundo de la cultura al mismo tiempo y conscientes de que sus apellidos les van a procurar un extra de atención y también de críticas. Nada tienen que ver sus carreras y tampoco el rumbo que han tomado, aunque una mayor visibilidad acompaña a ambas. Tiphaine es abogada y acaba de publicar su primera novela, mientras que Laurence es cardióloga y, junto a su compañero Matthieu Graffenstadden, pinta en óleo "retratos celulares". Las dos ya cuentan entre sus admiradores, no solo con su madre, Brigitte, sino también con su padrastro, Emmanuel Macron.
"Ha sido un apoyo desde el primer momento (...) Es muy sensible a las artes plásticas", ha dicho Laurence en una entrevista conjunta que han hecho las hermanas en la revista Gala. Como amante de la literatura que es Tiphaine aprecia especialmente la opinión del presidente francés sobre su novela Asisse, ya que, asegura, es muy exigente. Afortunadamente, el veredico ha sido más que positivo ya que no solo le ha gustado sino que le ha felicitado por su escritura. "Eso me ha conmovido", ha contado la escritora que, igual que su hermana, mantienen una excelente relación con su padrastro, a pesar de que no siempre fue fácil.
Precisamente sobre esas dificultades que atravesaron como familia en los inicios del romance entre Brigitte y Emmanuel habló hace unos meses Tiphaine en una sincera entrevista en Paris Match. No fue en absoluto fácil convivir con los rumores y las calumnias que acababan rodeando una historia de pisaba tantos tabúes. Recordemos que el ahora presidente galo tenía 17 años cuando se enamoró de Brigitte, su profesora en el instituto, 24 años mayor. Era, además, compañero de clase de Laurence, por lo que en un principio era a ella a la que miraban cuando Emmanuel iba frecuentemente con flores a su casa. Sin embargo, las atenciones eran para Brigitte que pronto tuvo que afrontar la nueva realidad que transformaría la vida de su familia.
Después, el paso del tiempo demostró que la llegada a sus vidas de Emmanuel Macron les regaló un padrastro al que adoran y con el que siempre han podido contar. A Tiphaine no solo la ha animado en su nueva faceta como escritora, también la ayudó en su carrera como abogada cuando el presentó al que acabó siendo su socio en el bufete que fundó. Actualmente, la hija pequeña de Brigitte vive en el campo, cerca de Calais y lleva 13 años casada con Antoine Choteau, un cirujano gastroenterólogo, con el que tiene dos hijos Elise y Auréle. Laurence, sin embargo, dice que nunca podría vivir alejada de la ciudad ya que no le gusta la soledad. La cardióloga y artista está separada Guillaume Jourdan, con el que tiene tres hijos, Alice, Emma y Thomas, que a sus 15 años le encanta conversar sobre geopolítica con el marido de su abuela. Ambas tienen un hermano mayor, Sebastién, que es ingeniero.
The tallest monument in the United States was completed on this date in 1965. The Gateway Arch stands 630 feet tall and is the focal point of the St. Louis skyline. Constructed out of concrete and stainless steel, the arch has a tram system built within it that will take visitors to the very top where they have an amazing view of the city. The arch was built for two main reasons, first was to create jobs, but maybe more importantly to commemorate the Westward Expansion of the United States. According to reports, the cost of the project was estimated to be around $13 million which in today’s money would be around $190 million. The arch has more than 4 million visitors each year and is an important part of the city’s economy.
The last rivet was fitted which completed the installation of the Statue of Liberty on this date in 1886. President Grover Cleveland was on hand to perform the dedication ceremony as well as numerous American and French dignitaries. Lady Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States to commemorate their friendship during the American Revolution. The 151-foot tall statue was originally built in Paris then disassembled and shipped to the U.S. in an estimated 200 different crates. The steel framework was designed by Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel, who made a name for himself by designing the Eiffel Tower. But the overall design was done by French sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi.
3. 1922: First college football game broadcast nationwide on the radio
It was on this date in 1922 the first college football game was broadcast nationwide on the radio. The Princeton Tigers went up against the Chicago Maroons at Stagg Field in Chicago. The Maroons were heavily favored and were one of the most dominant teams in the Big Ten conference. Unfortunately, the broadcast wasn’t live during the game; that didn’t happen until two years later in 1924. What would normally happen was a reporter would sit in the press box at the stadium and would phone the details of what was happening back to the station. An announcer would be standing by to re-enact the play by play using the help of sound effects and sometimes an in-studio audience. Even though Princeton was the underdog, they managed to pull off a major upset and then went on to finish the season with an undefeated record.
Architectural Art, Rome, Arch of Septimius Severus, Temple of Saturn, Italian Antique Painting, 19th Century
$1,500
Italian School Arch of Septimius Severus in Rome Rome, 1st Half, 19th Century Watercolor and ink painting on paper 12 x 17.25 inches, image 15 x 20.25 inches, overall
Painting on paper of the Arch of Septimius Severus on the Via Sacra in the Forum Romanum in Rome. It was likely intended as a souvenir for tourists on the Grand Tour. The main arch and a smaller one in the background are painted in great detail, with the inscription on the attic of the arch and the relief friezes on either side rendered clearly. In the background, the ruins of the Temple of Saturn is also shown in great detail. Pedestrians on the road and seated on the ruins in the foreground provide a sense of scale and city life. The subject of the painting is surrounded by a painted grey border, as originally rendered.
The arch was built by the emperor Septimius Severus in 203 AD to commemorate the Roman victories over the Parthians, when Septimius Severus took the city of Ctesiphon and created the new Roman province of Mesopotamia between the years of 197 and 199 in what is today northeastern Iran. The marble and travertine structure is richly decorated with sculpture depicting scenes of battle, triumphal processions, and winged victory figures, as well as the seasons and representations of Mars, the Roman god of war, and other deities. The lettering on the attic is a dedication to Septimius Severus and his sons Caracalla and Geta who “restored the Republic and expanded the dominion of the Roman people.”
The Temple of Saturn was an ancient Roman temple to the god Saturn. Its ruins stand at the foot of the Capitoline Hill at the western end of the Roman Forum. The original dedication of the temple is traditionally dated to 497 BC, but ancient writers disagreed greatly about the history of this site. The ruins, comprising the front porch, have a partially preserved pediment inscribed: “Senatus Populusque Romanus incendio consumptum restituit,” meaning “The Senate and People of Rome restored [the temple] consumed by fire.” The pediment and eight surviving columns represent one of the iconic images of Rome’s ancient architectural heritage.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, an essential part of the education of a young “aristocratic gentleman” of England was to go on a “Grand Tour” of Europe, often Italy, to explore the great architecture, archeology, and culture of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Grand Tour members loved to participate in theatrical spectacles, and during this era, archaeological “discoveries” were sometimes staged for well-to-do visitors on the Grand Tour to give them a taste of the drama of making a find.

Lea Thompson finds bits of her past everywhere she goes.
The actress, 63, shared a post on Instagram in May, in which she could be seen posing with a DeLorean while on vacation with her The Chicken Sisters costar Wendie Malick. (The car is a main plot point of the Back to the Future film series, where Thompson portrays Lorraine Baines-McFly.)
"In a weird twist I ran into a super tricked out #deloriantimemachine #bestdayever❤️," Thompson captioned the post, in part, at the time, while sharing an image of herself striking a pose next to the vehicle, which had a "McFly" license plate.
Now, Thompson recalls the moment to PEOPLE in an exclusive conversation, stating, "I don't think there are more than 40 or 50 of them in the world that are fixed up like that — it was just so weird."
"They follow me everywhere, those damn DeLoreans," the mother of two adds.

The Back to the Future film series follows Michael J. Fox's Marty McFly and the various obstacles he must overcome after traveling through time through the use of a futuristic DeLorean owned by Christopher Lloyd's Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown.
According to Thompson, she and Malick, 73, stumbled upon the DeLorean replica twice during their stay.
Noting that the owner of the vehicle had it "all lit up" when they saw it at night, Thompson explained that the individual instantly recognized her when their eyes met.
"He was like, 'Is that Lorraine McFly?' And I go, 'Yeah.' It was so funny," she says. "I really wanted to meet him because I just think it's so funny to be in this little tiny town in British Columbia and bump into Lorraine McFly."
Thompson's latest project is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by K.J. Dell'Antonia. It follows family feuds tied to rival fried chicken restaurants in a small Southern town.
The first two episodes of The Chicken Sisters are currently airing on Hallmark+, with new episodes dropping every Thursday after.
