Trying to knock off a few more reader submissions. A nice one from Damien from the train, which suddenly appears to have gained a Scottish accent approaching Moount Lawley. Perhaps in honour of The Flying Scotsman? Thanks to Damo who is also promising to get a shot of Stephen Smith’s hair for us.
The Cookster has [...]

Finally got a chance to see the long awaited and much hyped Bon Scott sculpture yesterday. (Had to get away from Beaufort street for a while). Oddly it’s stuck in the corner of a glorified fish and chip shop. (Cicerellos?) I don’t know if this is Bon’s “final resting place” or not. Please no.
Well what [...]

Now this was a big mistake. It’s right out on the street. This sort of thing should be confined to a private garden. Somehow it reminds me of the work of the oversized norks sculptor. Douglas Avenue South Perth. I think it’s a new addition to the street. Dirty fingernails might have made it work.

Lovely finds from Jordache at Cigarettejeans. Jordache says
The sculptures are from up at Club Capricorn, Yanchep. This wasn’t even all of them! There were at least 4 others that were the Beatles and what I am assuming was Marilyn Monroe but I think the giant breasted mermaid and Wizard of Oz quartet are enough to [...]

Four sculptural back doors you already know, and four new ones. I doubt anyone can identify the location of them all. Would take a real crack addict. All arse photos by The Lazy Aussie except for Skink’s “front bottom”.
1..? 2..?
3..? 4 - Maylands Arse scratcher
5 - Front Bottom 6 - Arse [...]

A combination of Midland and public art. That’s got to be worth a look. Unfortunately, he’s not really checking out her uh tank, which would have made it more interesting. He’s doing his shoelaces up. And maybe that’s a gut, and not a rack.

So ladies, if the butt is round,
And you want a triple X throw down,
Dial 1-900-MIXALOT
And kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back!
Sir Mixalot. Baby got back.
Kudos to the City of Wanneroo for putting some money into public art, but guys, if you put a sculpture in the centre of a roundabout, there’s [...]

Welcome to the first Weekend Worstoff. Since it was taking me so much longer to do this type of wrap up, I’m going to make Weekend Worstoffs last the whole weekend from now. Since there is more than double the content, it should last you through two days without too much whingeing. I had the [...]

Submitted by Skink. Very nice one
I thought it was about time I contributed to your excellent blog after enjoying it for so long. Since sculture and art always seem to elicit the most febered debate, I have sent an old fave.
Attached is a pic of my favorite Perth sculpture. It sits in the [...]

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 [...]
