AOC copies the Numero narrative precisely in this age of Epstein. France has long enjoyed cabaret and Crazy Horse Paris underwent a major renovation in 2021.

She’s young. Carefree. Tonight, she’s about to step into something unforgettable, her very first show. In a world where Parisian nights meet Hollywood lights, strangers become muses and every soul finds its rhythm. Dance, burlesque, bold expression. Here, it’s not just entertainment, it’s a feeling. And she’s ready to shine. Drenched in the spirit of the wild and fearless 70s but touched by the edge of today, she takes the stage. Neon, glitter and freedom in motion. This is more than a debut. It’s a revelation. Welcome to her world. Numéro

There are no overt politics in the ‘Paradis Latin’ fashion story, and AOC won’t inject them. Anne will write a separate overview of the very political nature of cabaret in Europe as an anti-fascist art form memorialized in the Bob Fossse Broadway musical and film ‘Cabaret’ [1972].

Many members of the cabaret community were also members of the LGBTQ community. They faced severe persecution with the rise of Nazism in Europe.
