I spy a giant-lady-sculpture trend.

First “Forever Marilyn”, and now “Giant Mermaid,” who’s sitting in Alster Lake in Hamburg, Germany. [Click here to see her picture.] Not sure why she’s called a mermaid because she clearly has knees. Also, why isn’t her mascara running? You can’t wear eye makeup under-the-sea.

Anyways, she was designed by art and ad agency owner Oliver Voss, who also runs the Miami Ads School. She’s 12 feet high, and she floats. You can kayak right up to her to check out her blue eye shadow, which is kind of cool.

Both Marilyn and the “mermaid” have a doll/figurine look to them. Kind of like if your mom’s Barbie from the 1950s suddenly grew to the size of the Marshmallow Man from “The Ghost Busters.” I’m just wondering what all this means.
