hafitalSolid Gold Moss Statue Revealed.
This has been in the UK news all week (what can I say, I'm starving for stimuli at work, so I troll bbc.com) and I just CANNOT get over it.
A 50kg solid gold statue of model Kate Moss has been unveiled at the British Museum, in London.
'Ideal beauty'
Described by the museum as an "Aphrodite of our times", it sits in the Museum's Nereid Gallery, alongside its statues of famous Greek beauties.
Okay, leaving off what some people's opinions of female beauty equate to, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? Is that really a modern statue of Aphrodite?? All I can see is her crotch. I mean, okay, all right, put her in a yoga position, FINE, whatever (although why? Is yoga particularly indicitive of female beauty??), but jeezus why not bridge at least, or heck, even bow pose. One of the Warrior poses!
