On the eve of the eighth anniversary of Princess Diana's death, she has been honoured with a new sculpture dedicated to both her and her companion Dodi Fayed, who also died in the 1997 Paris car crash.
The bronze statue, entitled Innocent Victims, was commissioned by Dodi's father, Harrods owner Mohammed Al Fayed. Created by family friend Bill Mitchell, it is due to occupy a special place inside the legendary London store.
The work depicts Diana and Dodi smiling into each other's eyes as they apparently run along a beach together, with a bird poised for flight at the tip of their joined hands. Dodi's shirt is unbuttoned and the Princess is clad in a skimpy, clinging dress.
I read that for such a rich guy Dodi was quite the deadbeat.
Ahh, they've gotten over it. They have taken Camilla to their bosom. Princess Diana always looked so sad. Her life really was like a Fairy Tale. The original versions where life didn't end happily every after.
Hmm.... I don't think that fits with the theme! :-)
Looks like a parachute or a family-sized butt-pack.
I failed art appreciation.
Several times.
Where is the statue to Mother Theresa?
When she passed a few days later, and all of the the MSM was "forced out of shame" to cover it I took it as proof positive that God was real. And that he had a sarcastic sense of humor to boot.
Diana was a spoiled little rich kid in the vien of Paris Hilton. Just with a tad bit more class.
I think Charles was happier in the first week of his marraige to Camilla than he was in the whole time she was married to that tart.
I can figure out where her legs are supposed to be; but I sure can't figure out WHY.
Is she running?
You can say that this is a sculpture of Diana; but it sure doesn't look like her.
ALBATROSS!!!!!
