Ugh.

Walked past here on the way to the water taxi and the way men were “interacting” with this statue was revolting. As if Marilyn asked to have guys pretending to lick her and stroke her legs. Kids witnessing the scene were perplexed, although one young boy screamed “I see her underwear!” As did a number of adult men.

On the plus side, Chinatown was nice again. :)

This reminds me of the Bruce Lee statue in Hong Kong. You should have seen how people “interact” with him.

You know, I think it’s been years – literal years – since I’ve bothered to go down to the Mag Mile. This just makes me want to stay cooped up in Rogers Park. Ick.

I am so disgusted by this! Why would anyone think this was ok??

I guess women and girls have no friends on the committee who made that decision.
