It did make me think a bit of two wolf heads howling at the moon though:)<br /> But shouldn't it be called a vulva rather than a vagina?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-75502348480358945862010-11-12T23:52:23.070-06:002010-11-12T23:52:23.070-06:00LOL - is that why they are called beavers?!

To me, it looked like a 'being' with fairy wings or maybe a flower. Guess I am just 'common' when it comes to art because I prefer something to look 'normal' - - - instead of a mural on a figure, dress the statue with paint clothes like a doll. You can paint a design or pattern on the clothes but when you look at the statue, you can see the face, etc. without a problem. . . . . like the other statues . . .Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-71728466160656243512010-11-12T14:10:34.414-06:002010-11-12T14:10:34.414-06:00After checking out the news article, I think I act...After checking out the news article, I think I actually this one the best!!!!!!!! joWest Side of Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306258644484219373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-53188333523638894302010-11-12T13:30:00.516-06:002010-11-12T13:30:00.516-06:00Since you mentioned it I saw it, but if I hadn'...Since you mentioned it I saw it, but if I hadn't any clue I would have just seen the beauty of the flower.LynneFtWorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266589506682171698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-62203092894064962842010-11-12T12:57:15.164-06:002010-11-12T12:57:15.164-06:00No ladies, that's the flower, the inappropriat...No ladies, that's the flower, the inappropriate part has been cropped out.
