Bronze Brit

A co-worker of mine was talking about Britney Spears appearing on Will & Grace this week and happened to mention that an artist had made a monument of sorts honoring a pregnant version of the pop-star,

I couldn't believe this was true, so I did a quick web search and low and behold there it was in all it's freaky glory.

The Capla Kesting Fine Art museum in Brooklyn, NY is featuring artist Daniel Edwards "Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston."

The sculpture depicts a nude Britney Spears on a bearskin rug giving birth to her firstborn. Marking a 'first' for Pro-Life.

The life-sized statue celebrates the recent birth of Spears’ baby boy, Sean, and symbolically 'applauds' her decision of placing family before career. Natural aspects of Spears’ pregnancy, like lactiferous breasts and protruding naval, compliment a posterior view that depicts widened hips for birthing and reveals the crowning of baby Sean’s head.

I am both intrigued and repulsed at the same time. Now some of my thoughts are abstract, but who thinks of making a statue of Britney having a baby on a bearskin rug?

Why... oh WHY do we put that woman on a pedestal? She'll just slip off of it and bruise herself. Ugh.
