Saturday was the first taste of spring weather we've had in the Gateway City, so Forest Park was crawling with people. I thought that as long as i wasn't looking around in suspicious, shifty-eyed paranoia that no one would mind if I was scaling the statuary.
the execution was swift.
Once my handiwork was documented, I dusted off my trousers and naturally whistled my way in. I chose Helen Frankenthaler's Draft from 1969.
Back outside, I sat on the steps to see if museum-goers would notice bright red mustaches on allegorical cement ladies. I was pleased to see every passer-by giggle and point. I was quite amused by a brother-sister debate over the material. paper? felt? no one went to investigate.
By this time I had to dash to work. But I went through the park on my way home to see if museum staff would notice bright red mustaches on allegorical cement ladies. I like to think that museum staff really ARE observant and they just preferred my additions. This was taken at approximately 1 am on Sunday morning:
As you can see, these moustaches rouges really add another layer of dignity to these already-regal classical ladies.

Yes, votes for redness, foamness and length of staying power! That's pretty darn awesome, right there.
Incidentally, what did you have to say about Frankenthaler?
Bright red moustaches that stay put on large art museum statues?
I'd call that Skillsomatical, because it gets hard to think of words for awesome after a while.
Vote, and favourite!
Rocktastic.
This is spilling over the brim with awesome sauce.
Fantastic!
I absolutly love it.
I call for more bright red 'tasches on statues!
First person to get one on a lion in Trafalgar Square gets a CD of my greatest hits. :D
Hmmm...if I catch a night flight...

Actually I am in London next Sunday :D
phenomenal. i've been there. i prefer your alterations.
I had the pleasure of meeting the head of security for the staff there today. I asked him if he knew about this, and he proudly replied about how quickly they took them down, as soon as his staff found them that morning. He was on the verge of saying they couldn't have been up for more then an hour when I told him they were there for nearly twenty four. He was amused at the prank, but upset at his employees for not catching it sooner. I found the entire exchange amusing.
oh, i wish there wouldn't be such things as retired tasks.
YES!!!
