This morning, around 8 am after taking T for a walk and feeding him, I walked over to the government building to get a beach pass only to find out that you need to show a car registration. So I walked over to target to buy new hair conditioner and then continued my walk to a coffee place that I like in the city center. The place had closed down. Bummer:(
So, I walked over to Latham Park to take pictures of the giant statue of Marilyn Monroe that they put up yesterday. Stamford is full of life size statues of people in action, all in 40-50s style. Like, kids playing, someone taking a picture, men in suites going to work, veterans hugging their loved ones, woman walking her dog etc. This series is called “Timeless” and is created by artist Seward Johnson. One day I’m gonna walk around and really look at them all. Right now they are just something I walk by.
This Marilyn Monroe statue is called “Forever Marilyn” and was previously placed in Chicago. When my parents visit Chicago we tried to find her but they had taken her down 2012. She is 26 feet tall and weighs 30.000 pounds. Pretty cool actually. The opening is tomorrow and they are showing “The Seven Year Itch” on Avon Theater. My neighbor mentioned this awhile ago that she is going tomorrow, but it sounded like something else, I didn’t expect a giant statue like this.
