GORMLEY PRETTIER IN PINK

Submitted by Editor on

Two Gormleys have again been targeted in fashion make-overs of dubious taste.

The figure in the pool at Bell's Mill Weir (pictured right) looked a shade downcast in tarty, mandarin poncho; the figure in Stockbridge (below) seemed more at ease in a skimpy dress combining pink, polka dots and flowers.

All just a bit of summer fun, but is it still funny?

When will people tire of these repetitive cross-dressing pranks in favour of more original and thoughtful re-interpretations?

For that matter, when will they turn their attention to other city statues using anything more imaginative than a traffic cone?

Spurtle says: Time for a change.
