Crotch Shots Have a New Gold Standard
As Mr. Skin reported earlier this summer, a golden statue of Kate Moss, the largest golden statue since Ancient Egypt (and the most sinfully seductive one since Edward G. Robinson’s idolatrous golden calf at the foot of Mt. Sinai that so enraged God in the book of Exodus) will soon go on display at the British Museum.
Weighing in at 50 kilograms and expected to go for $10 million at auction, Marc Quinn’s new sculpture Siren has the contorted supermodel aiming her gilded crotch directly at the viewer.
"If there was a war or anarchy,” predicts the sculptor, “this will be melted down and turned into bullion, so it's a canary in a cage down a mineshaft."
Who wouldn’t want to stick his canary in Kate Moss’s mineshaft?
Before he went down to defeat and death at the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925, three-time presidential candidate, orator, and clergyman William Jennings Bryan exhorted the American people, “You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.”
Quinn agrees, asking, "Why should gold be worth lots and steel not?"
Besides the fact that steel is an alloy manufactured by human hands out of common metals and gold is an elemental substance that exists in limited quantities, nothing but good old-fashioned commodity fetishism!
And this gold, a million dollars worth of material, is worth much more because it’s in the shape of one of the world’s most bangable babes.
But Mr. Skin has always thought that Kate’s T&A were worth their weight in gold!
