As someone who lived in Dublin I can only heave. At least toes are somehow less weird/gross than breasts? Wait....are they? I don't know

[i_prefer_scummy]

Wait why? Do you think people will like deface them? Why the toes specifically lol I’m so confused

[anterrabre]

It's bronze. As a medium, figures sculpted in bronze tend to get a little lighter in the extremities (noses, fingers, toes, etc) as the other areas get darker with age.

Did her taxes pay for the statue?

That's her 3rd statue too!

Anyways for good luck and blessings!

lol she was in a park once and a wild boar stole her purse and she was like "and no one did anything!" as if bystanders were supposed to battle a wild boar for Shakira's purse
