Wall Street Bull Sculptor Says NYC Violated His Rights With ‘Fearless Girl’

According to The Associated Press, Italian-American sculptor Arturo Di Modica is accusing New York City of violating his legal rights by permitting the installation of “Fearless Girl” in front of his bull, without his permission.

Di Modica is expected to explain this accusation in a news conference on Wednesday, his attorney Norman Siegel claimed. The sculptor will be challenging the city officials who issued a permit for the bronze girl to stay until February of 2018, demanding that the city provide documentation behind the decision.

A day before International Women’s Day, “Fearless Girl” first appeared on the Wall Street traffic island, meant to symbolize the lack of women on the boards of U.S. corporations. Designed by artist Kristen Visbal, the statue was celebrated by some as a model of female empowerment and criticized by others as a form of pinkwashing.

Just to clarify… Charging Bull isn’t meant to represent the exact opposite thing Fearless Girl is opposing. Having her standing defiantly opposite is distorting Di Modica’s artistic intent. I’d be pissed if I were him, too.

I love Fearless Girl but not where she’s at. Seems to me a bit of advertising in the guise of women’s rights all while coat-tailing on another’s work. It’s the right message delivered by the wrong people to the wrong place.

Maybe State Street Corp should’ve installed Fearless Girl in front of Trump Tower.

I snapped the one of Maggie and she snapped the one of the drawing mannequin at the organ ❤️

Me: the first thing when operating the new Fuji is putting the strap around your neck like this.

Maggie: so the first thing is basically looking like a dork.

Peeps, here’s your get-it-underway jam to power through the rest of your Thursday work day.

Lyrics only video because the original is dumb. Still one of my top 5 fave bands from the 90s.

Yesterday some of the co-workers had a client meeting of sorts. Afterward one of the guys brought out the remaining Dunkin Donuts for those of us who didn’t attend. I had two donuts and I’m not proud of that.

For the record I’d also like to admit that I have just now visited every room in the office, looking to see if any happened to survive the night. Sadly, none did.

😞 🍩 #worknews #donuts

It’s navy blue and I love it.

Peeps, here’s your when-the-sun-comes-up-ill-be-on-top jam for this rainy Thursday.

The video isn’t the original recording but it’s in color and has stop animation Barbies. And we get Question Mark doing what he does best: shaking and snapping in his slithery dance and forcefully gesturing to whoever 96 Tears is about.

I’m so glad I’m not in a relationship like the one described in the lyrics. I can relate of course but I don’t want to anymore. Not in the here-and-now. I never wanna make another person cry from some kind position of twisted retaliation/dominance.

PS- They have vintage Vox Continental organs on eBay and by no accident my birthday is June 11th.

Judge found dead in Hudson River was ‘force for good’

A pioneering judge, who became the first Muslim woman in US history to serve on the bench, was found dead Wednesday — washed up on the Manhattan side of the Hudson River, sources said.

…

Her husband later identified her body. Sources said it showed no obvious signs of trauma or injuries indicating criminality or foul play, and that her death appeared to be a suicide.

…

“She was a pioneer,” he said. “Through her writings, her wisdom, and her unshakable moral compass, she was a force for good whose legacy will be felt for years to come. I was proud to appoint her to the state’s highest court and am deeply saddened by her passing.”

After reading the article a couple of times it just doesn’t sound like she would be the type to commit suicide. You never know about people of course but considering where a good vocal percent of country seems to be regarding Muslims I doubt if she just jumped in the river to do herself in. Do people really do themselves in by drowning?

Is it me or does the rain seem to bring every turtle and their umbrella outside for the daily commute?

Traffic’s trickling around at a slug’s pace and I’m eye rolling not so pleasantly, “who’s the buttplug that’s gumming up the works??”
