More clearing the backlog of submissions, but this one is astounding. This apparition, complete with nappy is in Belmont, the home of a few worsts in it’s time. This one is from Mulberry. Mulberry went on to condemn pointy knobs on houses as a worst architectural feature. I’m not actually anti knob Mully, but I have to respect your maiden with the knockers, so maybe you do know what you are talking about.

That maiden has had an effect on me that very rarely happens.
It seems I’m completely lost for words…
What the?
I came for the knockers – but I stayed for the nappy.
Got it wrapped??
(Ye Gods, Humans are so.o..oo…ooooooooo dumb )
Spectacular! This blog plumbs new lows every week. I wonder if this was $1150 from Waldecks as well? A shame she doesn’t have a face and her hands look like lion paws…I guess the sculptor made the breast of a bad job?
golly. good choice with the last one. its a fineal. the darling of the project home designer. people of balcatta unite, rip off your poorly glued pine sticks and burn them!! i hate fineals more than anything. they are the most useless( now) and over done feature ever. DIE. also see eggplant feature walls.
There’s an incredible piece of mock Tudory along the beach road up the northern beaches – somewhere north of Mullaloo. Sorry that I’m not more specific, will have to pull over and clock it properly next time.
Hey Tom! I haven’t been over to your side for a while. Must make the time. Good to hear from you.
I think the real question is, what the hell is she doing with the pot? She’s got a grudge against roses (hogging all the glory in peoples’ front gardens, not leaving enough room for bogan sculpture?) and she’s about to bean the one in front of her?
Oh how I hate gable finials – that one is particularly dismal, held on by a piece of hose pipe. Oh dear oh dear
She looks like she’s waiting for her drunken, abusive husband statue.
She’s sending out mixed messages Tony.
LA – clearly. When a statue says ” “, she really means ” “.
Weighed down by a pair of balls. In order to pay sufficient attention to the centre of attention certain other aspects of this artwork had to be neglected eg. legs , knees , bum , face , a reasonable sense of human geometry etc No doubt another “promising ” and “aspiring” “Perth artist”.
Look at all those gravatars. Very attractive. I wish all the small ones would work. Nettie, are you connected to Howling Wolf Wines?
Juffy she is bathing. sluicing away whatever’s in the nappy.
David – makes sense, in a “I ran out of ideas for a water feature” kinda way.
Sculptures like this will always have their knockers… btw, the “doily” curtains in the background have a certain je ne sais quoi too.
Phwoar. You don’t get many of them to the pound, gaffer.
thanks la. your welcome at my place any time!
Do people titter as they walk past? Or, trying to hold in laughter, do they bust?
Wasn’t the finial was added to stop unwanted visitors (spirits/witches) landing on your roof and affecting the harmony of you abode? but only on gables it seems. Bet you they dont work for Jehovahs Witnesses and why the bad guys couldn’t fly through a window or door I don’t know.
Personally I much prefer the terracotta dragons through-out Mt Lawley.
Hey LA have you noticed that I am time travelling – I can type this now at “7:40″ ,an hour into the future whilst here in suburban Perth it is still only 6:40 -even though some say Perth is one decade behind any-way so what is another hour.

It’s worse on wiliam Bowe’s Pollbludger site, his timestamp is 3 hours ahead.
I think they are on EDT, and the rest of country don’t change back till the weekend.
EDT is Eastern Demon Time? You’re saying you want me to change the time?
[EDT is Eastern Demon Time? ]
Eastern DAYLIGHT Time :-)
[You’re saying you want me to change the time?]
Basically yes, we would like to post in local time :-)
No wonder she’s stooped over. That’s one impressive (clay) rack!
Do you think she is related to the busty big cat?
Is there a correlation between breast size and arm length in women? She certainly doesn’t need to crouch to put that pot down, her hands would practically touch the ground if her arms were by her side.
Her breasts are growing out of her armpits!
Exactly. And those arms would drag on the ground.
Does someone have a long arm fetish? Check the length of the pair in Alsatian Rampant…
Texan, interesting you should mention Alsations Rampant. I also noticed the connection.
In fact Hokusan and I were discussing the possibility that this sculpture is intended to be in a forward horizontal position so that her vessel – so to speak – was upward. In this position, combined with her unusually long arms, you could certainly argue that both artist were of the same school.
If nothing else, at least she may collect enough some change from a passer-by to buy some better underwear.

And they both have 3 jugs.
Ahh… the finial. It was once considered a show-piece of craftsmanship – a piece of fine wood-working to adorn the front of your abode. I think the class fell out of the idea when they started using aluminium tubing and pine slats as cheap and easy replacements.
I mean, they haven’t even plugged the ends of the tubing or concealed the screws holding it to the barge board, for goodness sake! And they’ve trimmed the pine to fit around the ridge capping, instead of the other way around!
I notice you avoid mentioning the oversized jugs rewey

Can you take a photo of the ROFL Street Sign? It’s on Alexander Drive, just before Light Street. I’m always too busy steering a car in heavy traffic when I go by, you could go out on your bmx or skateboard and take a snap?
ROFL?
Got it.
oh i send it to this website thankyou.
you sent what where? not here you didnt.
Send – future tense. I am REALLY looking forward to TL101′s original contributions.
But it means having to change our witticisms to G rated.

I still don’t believe it.
Oh. He’s quite convincing.
No, definitely older person doing some sort of schtick.

Bento are you refering to me as a little S… well you know maybe im plotting on you.
Wouldn’t dream of it, TL101. I was referring to the little shit on Triple J.
But now you’re freaking me out.
Read what he said, L101, he was referring to the cockatoo, not you.
You have to be able to read English.
Strine
Ooh, your getting threatening now, Legend, a bit like this kid
