Statue to the Unknown Stripper

A few days ago, Bilbo had an essay on who should rate a statue or some other kind of honor.  While politicians (oops, statesmen!), military figures, and allegorical figures are often publicly honored, some communities have unique statues.

Metropolis, Illinois has a statue honoring the Man of Steel. 
Yes, Superman.

Enterprise, Alabama has a statue of a boll weevil.

Dublin, Ireland has a statue of a character from a song, sweet Molly Malone, which wags call "the Tart with the Cart."

And Lviv, Ukraine has a statue of Ritter Leopold von Sacher-Masoch.

I conceive of a bronze monument to a stripper to be displayed just off Exit 7 near Ardmore, TN.  She would be doing an intricate pole dance.  Who knows?  It may become the premier sculpture of southern Tennessee.

  1. A great idea! Maybe place it at the Tennessee Welcome Area!

  2. Will you be the model for the statue?

  3. That's a great idea. Here we have a topless mermaid underwater for diving. Her nipples are always shiny.

  4. If this would be feasible, I would definitely apply to be the model!
