Meatpacking District to Get A Boob Job

A boob removal, to be exact.
Apparently in 2008, somebody decided they should put up giant stone boobs in a bunch of the plazas on Ninth Avenue.

I think this was a much better idea in their head, as the giant stone busts (HAHAHAHA) are apparently going to be removed soon, because people are tired of the boobs jokes.

Also, no offence, but those are not the more beautiful boobs I've ever seen made out of stone.

""They’re the breasts. They just sit out there and do nothing," said Matt DeMatt, owner of the Gaslight Lounge on Ninth Avenue, of the round mounds capped by nippled-shaped white cones."

Matt DeMatt, I have two things to say to you.

1. What do you think boobs normally do?
2. Your name is pretty weird. Just saying.

Thoughts on boobs as public art projects/barricades of plazas?
I can't say I'm exactly for it. I would have just stationed topless ladies where the giant stone boobs are instead. But that's just me.

The BraBall

This, my dear friends, is the BraBall.
Created by Emily Duffy, the BraBall stands 5 feet tall, weighing over 1,800 pounds, and is comprised of 18,085 bras, hooked together.

That is, almost literally, a freaking ton of bras.

If you want to read the full backstory, see pictures, and read all about this crazy project, click here.
It's pretty interesting stuff, talks about self confidence, breast cancer, friendship, all that.

If you want to see this thing in real life, you can go to the James Rouse Visionary Center in the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland.

It's a pretty crazy idea, I'll give her that.
