(NSFW)

Can maybe the sculptor show her with some used condoms scattered around the windowsill? That's be kinda cool. Maybe they could just bronze some used condoms or something?

FTFA: The precise place where the statue will be laid and its title have not yet been announced, it said.

Excellent. It's getting laid.

If you're gonna honor prostitutes, having an erect statue seems appropriate.

In Amsterdam the whores make chit-chat with you from behind a window or open door. That photo reminded me more of Las Vegas than Amsterdam.

why would kittens tremble at a prostitute? headline makes no sense, if anything they should be fawning over their saviour, the one who keeps the hand away from the rod and the rod in the honey pot.

I remember postage stamps that honored prostitutes. They were 29-cent stamps, but if you wanted to lick them, they were a dollar.

Apparently, the Europeans like to commemorate famous prostitutes. Here's one from Lake Constance (Bodensee) in Germany. It's in the harbor and revolves on a pedestal--just like in real life!

You'd think in a world of prostitutes, kittens would have less to fear.

I'm surprised they haven't done this already. There's a giant pink granite triangle honoring homos.

The penis sculpture was gone last year when I visited. It was there the year before there in the Red Light District.

Maybe it was being "cleaned."

Aw, c'mon! You erect a statue, you don't lay a statue.

/also, all_I_have_is_Fark you may wish to expand your blurs. As lovely as the young lady is, she is verging quite closely on NSFW. Which is not ironic. I don't think.

I don't know why not...it's a perfectly cromulent word.

No. I've been yelled at for using it so often that it's lost its irony.

I cant believe they even put "self assured woman with her head held high" and "prostitute" in the same sentence. AND they're goingto erect a statue. If shes looking up, she should at least be on her knees
