`La Basque Femme qui Pleure'

Aizu delinquents, last news from Paris say the Swiss
 collector who bought Picasso's `La Femme qui Pleure'
(part of Dora Maar's collection of Picassos auctioned this
week in Paris) discovered the real name of the painting and
 the model who inspired Pablo to paint the portrait of a
fiercely-looking woman with nail-shaped tears.  A piece of
 paper found between the frame and the canvas says the
title of the painting is `La Basque Femme qui Pleure',
  a dark-haired beauty named Gina Laxalt, Picasso's secret lover
who was once denied communion because she was wearing slippers!
 The paper is signed by Picasso who apparently hid it not to
make Dora jealeous. The painting went to an unidentified
 Swiss buyer for $6.6 million!!!

la vita e bella, with a little help from our friends!!
