PPS' Scrapbook

Pop artist Ron English and vinyl toy manufacturer Garage Works came up with a unique toy (sculpture/installation/statue) whatever you feel like to refer. they created a piece of art called: "Marilyn Mickies " limited edition fiberglass statues of Marilyn Monroe with Mickey Mouse ’s face as her breasts. I don't want to be judgmental here but I simply liked this weird or let say punk-ish modern pop art. it combines the most popular icons of the consumerism and mass appeal into one. some people might mind the nudity but it's not vulgar or erotic. here is the web link to garage works industries blog : http://www.garageworksindustries.com/blog/384/marilyn-mickies-statue Disclaimer: all images shown here belong to respected owners and shared here for appreciation purpose.

Situated on the bank of the holy river Ganga, 68 kms from Ghaziabad, Garhmukteshwar is a revered pilgrim centre. Also referred to as Khandvi Van and Shiva Vallabhpur because of its being an important centre of the Vallabh cult, Garhmukteshwar has been associated with mythology. It is said that this was the place where King Shivi, an ancestor of Lord Rama, had passed the fourth period of his life as an ascetic. Later, with the help of renowned sage Parshuram, he built a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is also believed that after two Ganas (disciples) of Lord Vishnu, Jai and Vijai, had achieved Mukti (salvation) at Shiva Vallabhpur the place came to be known as Ganamukteeshwar. With time, this name changed to the present Garhmukteshwar. Text source: http://www.mysterindia.com/article592.html
