WONDERING HOW THE STATUE IS ABLE TO STAND ON ITS OWN WITHOUT SUPPORT?

BRIDE AND BRIDESMAIDS, FIND SHADE UNDER THE STATUE

STANDING IN THE MIDST OF CHICAGO SKYLINE WOULD HAVE MADE MARILYN VERY PROUD INDEED

WHAT A FITTING TRIBUTE TO MARILYN IN THE WINDY CITY OF CHICAGO !

odds on that being the most photographed spot in chicago?

a little like the little offshoot in verona were they claim the romeo/juliet balcony is - and there is a statue of a bare-breasted juliet. so many young guys been photographed giving her a touch up that one breast is shiny and golden and the rest of the statue quite dull.

which also reminds me of the recent 'romeo and juliet' film that apparently features a brief but 'tasteful' nude scene of juliet. problem is that she is only 15 or 16 and the film has a rating that prevents her seeing it. the reason? her nude scene. so bureaucrats have prevented a girl from seeing a film because she is nude in that film. presumably she is blindfolded every night before she showers?

Great looking statue, but odds are that it will attract a lot of upskirt perverts!

It was fun having her here, but teenage boys were clearing the shelves of Kleenex. The sex appeal is still as good as it was some 50+ years ago. They took her away in several pieces couple days back.

Although I've always noticed, her dress doesn't NEARLY go that high in Seven Year Itch.

I have to say she was better to look at than the the cows on parade we had a few years back.
