(T)It's A New Statue!

The Island governement announced a while back that it would be installing a bunch of new statues around the island. They weren't sure how many or where they would be though. Or when it would happen.

Well, they have installed a few now, and, I must say, they are really nice.


They even put this new one out at South Point.






You can imagine how long it took me for to get this picture. I had to wait for all the tourists guys to have their pictures taken by girlfriends and/or spouses. Guys, I have news for you. Those aren't real tits. And kissing them does not bring you good luck. More likely some sickness from the multitude of guys before you that day who have kissed or licked them.

Despite the junior high school behaviour that this elicites from all the guys who see it, I do think it is a nice statue and very well done.

Nothing like being kept abreast of the cultural news. (Sorry. The 8 year-old in me could not be controlled.)

I can just imagine the pictures that were taken ;) Oh boy, I think I will stay out of this one.

Well, at least she doesn't have the head of her baby hanging out between her legs like that other 'tasteful' Ixchel out at Punta Sur. I'll have to make a trip out there in June to get photos of the male gawkers. Ha!

Those breasts look more real than a lot I have seen on some humans ;-) The city fathers (and mothers) surely realized what was going to happen there with a lot of wild and crazy tourists - milking them into a lot of silliness. ;-)

OK Isla, I have to nibble (pun TOTALLY intended) - WHO was the the artist? Lovely job - but no (have to say it) exposure for the artist?
Cheers!
