Mar 5, 2010: Venus de Rahway
 
Venus de Rahway, in the tradition of the Alexandros of Antioch's famous statue, Venus de Milo.
Except she's in Rahway, New jersey... and made of snow. ;)

Quote:

"Curvaceous, bodacious and booty-licious," said Elisa Gonzalez, a court reporter who built the snow goddess with her daughter, Maria Conneran, 21 and son, Jack Shearing, 12.

She attracted a lot of attention and admiration... people even stopped to take pictures.

But then...

Quote:

When the officer arrived, Gonzalez said, he was apologetic and appreciative of the snowlady and her assets.
"He said, ‘It’s very good,’" Gonzalez recalled.
Despite his appreciation, the officer then asked the family to dress the snowlady. Nonplussed, they complied with a green bikini top and a blue sarong around her ample hips.
Instead of enforcing the law, the poor cop is sent out on a political correctness mission, enforcing "community standards" set by a few puckered butts.
At least they didn't get maced, tasered, hauled off to the hoosegow.:rolleyes:

Yeah pretty sad..

And nice work!

The fact that they were asked to put clothes on the snow lady makes me very sad and sort of pissed. Is there a LAW that says I can't have a naked statue of snow? Coz i wouldn't put a bikini on her. Maybe pasties and a G-string. Would that make grandpa feel better?

damn freaking Puritans. Ruin everything. We should put them on a ship.

I'll bet Venus de Rahway is frigid anyway.

Griff 03-05-2010 05:28 AM

Stupit.

It appears we can distract kooks by keeping them busy monitoring snow ladies...*wheels turning*

Paint 'em on with food coloring, or better yet, paint in the details. ;) Maybe they should have built some Calvin snowmen.

I guess you can't go out in Rahway with your ice box and snow cones showing.

Do I have to label this as NSFW now?

Idiotic perhaps we should resurrect the dead and have all of them covered. WTF?

lol - THAT was poorly written on my part. Doh!

Shawnee123 03-05-2010 08:27 AM

Hahahaha!

You reminded me...when I was pretty young my older cousin and I were looking through an art book. She told me that the Venus de Milo was a statue of a woman who couldn't stop biting her nails, and ended up chewing her own arms off!

I was like "wow, really?"

So, I've been trying to chew my own arms off so I can be commemorated in this way. I've gotten through part of one thumb.

I’d like to take a “crack” at her. I’ll bet she’ll just melt in my arms.

Which "part" was it poorly written ON? ;)

rditlkustoleit 03-05-2010 12:16 PM

I feel sorry for the poor cop that had to take a “crack” at this case and “bust” them. I’m sure he felt like such a “boob”. OK, I’m done. Wait, one more… I hope nobody “snatches” her outfit.
