She's been in a lot of movies from airport lobbies to cruise ships to restaurants.

RFK Jr should come out with a statement saying this is what happens eating all the poisons put in your food and she does not represent a healthy person

The public art piece is part of a series called "Grounded in the Stars," which "confronts preconceived notions of identity and representation," according to Times Square's website.


I know we are all creatures of our past sometimes and one of the things I don't get about today is this whole "I get to wear this because.. my culture" is complete bullshite.

When I was in high school boys couldn't wear braids. Black teachers used to tell the black dudes who complained about it "you should be thankful that you can't look like a thug". There wasn't all of this "well its who I am and its about my culture and you not allowing me to do this is racist". The whole "its my identity" is bullshite.

In middle school, when Ice Ice Baby came out, I wanted lines in my hair like Vanilla Ice. I got them and thought I was cool as shite, I was going to a catholic school at the time. I wasn't at school five minutes when the principle called me in, he called my mom, told her she had to come pick me up and cut that shite out of my hair. There was no "but this is my identity and you are taking my right to be me away". That's just dumb to say. What is the statue saying? "We celebrate being basic!"?

Say what you will about the content/meaning/symbolism of the statue. At least this shows that man is still capable of crafting well done statues. This has come under major question the past 10 years or so.


I agree. I just finished one myself. Thoughts?

would’ve been more realistic to have the statue with her hand extended as to show her expecting government benefits.

Should have been named “Grounded in the Mars bars”.
