Vivat le Taxidermie Francais!

French taxidermy is alive and rich in the heart of Paris! I recently visited this animal-crazed land and fell in love with their impressive commitment to all things zoologique...

Our new taxidermy Mecca is Deyrolle in Paris. Visit their site to see the "stuff" that taxidermy dreams are made of....

Also, Bettinna Rheims' photography series, "Animal," (exhibited at Deyrolle) is exquisite. Our new taxi dream-team: Betinna Rheims photographing Polly Morgan's masterpieces. Ahhhh...........Vivat natures mortes!

Gastronomy + Taxidermy = Freeman's

Dermigirl recently celebrated a birthday, and what better place to host the event than Freeman's, a restaurant on the Lower East Side that serves fantastic food in taxi-heaven surroundings:

Bird trophies behind the bar

Giant Panda's favorite: a landing goose!

Antlers overhead!

At Freeman's, even the bday girl is a trophy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DERMIGIRL!
