A fibre-glass cow called "Moulin Rouge, Homage to the world's biggest cabaret" designed by artist Marika de Moro Giafferi. The cow is one of 110 bovines in all manner of poses and colours, that will be bringing a Pop Art stampede to Paris.(AFP/Eric Feferberg)

I saw "Paris" and "cows" in the headline, and thought this was an article about Paris Hilton.

Authorities have taken care to protect the cows from vandals, anchoring each to a 150-kilo base and varnishing them with an anti-graffiti veneer.

But are they flameproof.

Been there done that....Toronto did this with fibreglass moose some years ago and I don't think they were even the first . I believe they got the idea from some other city previous to them.

Last year Corpus Christi, Texas had a bunch of dolphin statues placed all around downtown. The exhibit was called "Dances with Dolphins".

If one of them was clamped and titled "Moohammad the Steer" it could start a real stampede.

I wish someone had put socks on each leg of a fiberglass bovine and stuffed each sock with documents so they could have one named Samooel Burger.

This one caught my eye and their idea of fashion has become a little lot strange....


A fibre-glass cow titled "Time for Seduction," and dressed by French lingerie designer Chantal Thomass is stored at an art studio outside Paris before being displayed along 109 other bovines throughout the French capital as part of the Vach'Art exhibit.

Milwaukee had the Beasties a few years back. Basically fiberglass cows and such on the sidewalks.
