One of my all-time favorites! I felt this sculpture captured the non-traditional beauty this model gave off. I liked having this sculpture in the studio not only due to it's beauty, but because it got a reaction from everyone who came in. The young, brainwashed by the media's images of thin beauty were openly appalled by her rolls of flesh -her "weight problem." Women loved it because she is round, womanly and beautful. Couples nudged each other often saying something like "Look at her -if she can pose nude, you could certainly be a model too." In the end, a day after I said "I shouldnt sell this one," a very nice couple came in and bought it for their new house.
