Visiting Logan in Chicago between Christmas and the New Year.
Freezing cold and a long walk led us to this beauty, a 26-foot tall statue of Marilyn Monroe by John Seward Johnson II (born 1930; also known as J. Seward Johnson Jr). The Blonde Bombshell is striking the infamous hot-air-up-the-skirt shot from "The Seven Year Itch" and people line up all day to take pictures of her.
A lot of art people (especially locals) hate it-- but I think it's hilariously perfect.
More detail on the story here.
