She's All Peaches



This photo was taken with my Blackberry Pearl last year at Circular Quay. Circular Quay (pronounced "key") is the ferry and train station near the Sydney Opera House. She was a ginormous sculpture made of fake peaches. Yes, weird and pretty and awesome all at the same time-- sounds like some of my closest friends.

I was all stoked until I read they were fake peaches! Not as sweet as I thought, but I guess it makes sense with all the rotting and bees!

PS - I soooo want to ride a kangaroo too! How in the world have you been there that long and NOT ridden one??? Now that would be an awesome picture! Okay, I'll stop now. ;)

What do they do with all those fake peaches when they're done?

Man, you have the coolest stuff where you live.

A giant lady made out of fake (not even real) peaches? Geez. All we have in Chicago is a giant metallic kidney bean.

Marvin said...

That's pretty cool!

I think it's pretty awesome. However, real peaches and you would have truly awesome.

Oneal- I hate bees and am scared to ride a kangaroo.

Captain Dumbass- I would like some fake peaches scattered around my backyard. Btw, have I mentioned that I love your name.

JD- I know, you should totally come visit. There's a nude beach like a 5 minute ferry ride from my house! You could totally go there so I don't have to.

Marvin- Totally.

Free Man- Are you still drunk from vacation? You're usually so proper and whatnot.

Can you ride a kangaroo?? I've seen those "when animals go apeshit" shows and they look pretty feisty. Haha

I'm assuming they glued all those fake peaches together? That's pretty cool.

Laura said...

Seafood Punch- Hahahaha.

Corrina- I'm guessing if you try to ride the kangaroo they'll beat the crap out of you... I'm not that adventurous so I'll never find out.

Bea said...

p.p.s. can you imagine trying to eat it if it was made from real peaches. especially eating the bum. *giggles like a little schoolgirl*

Laura said...

Gnu, eating the peach girl's bum-- seriously- You are killing me! You're my new bff. On the whole Farmer Takes A Wife thing-- I have to admit, now I'm wishing I would have watched it.
