Sculptures of Rosa Verloop

Dutch artist Rosa Verloop creates sculptures out of nylon stockings. She writes that she likes this material because it is "soft, cuddly, and easy to shape." Though when I look at her sculptures, 'cuddly' isn't the first word that comes to mind.

Why doesn't she just skip the placebo of nylons and go straight for the bacon which she is, subconsciously, channeling?

Is it true that in 1970, the average age of a person at a nude beach was 25.

And this average age person is now the average age person today? 😊

To be fair, that's more artistic than a lot of "art" these days.
