MY MUMMY WAS BEAUTIFUL

On Sunday we all went into Liverpool City centre, clothes shopping. We had the usual look around kids clothes shops, and ended up getting a coat for Heather in the last place we looked. Whilst walking around, Ian and myself were talking and Matthew was very happily running in front of us, and Heather was in the buggy. You can imagine my surprise when I looked up and saw a poster of six very naked ladies breasts. "What's that all about" I asked Ian. "Who knows". We walked some more, we see more breasts. I was just waiting for some comment from Matthew - luckily he didn't notice. Ian always jokes that I am to0 naive - innocent even. I say it's due to being taught by nuns and very strict ones at that. Also it was a all girls school. Well I'm sorry, but I was shocked - it's not the type of thing you expect to see whilst shopping. As we walked on Ian kept pointing them out to me, then there it was O.M.G I actually blushed,how sad is that? The poster had changed now. Not a bare breast - now a very naked crotch. O.M.G
The posters are in fact Photographs by Yoko Ono of a woman's breast and crotch and are adorning public buildings across Liverpool.
The project, My Mummy Was Beautiful 2004, is one of 40 new works by 40 artists commissioned for the Liverpool Biennial International exhibition.
Ono said: "This work was initially about my mother. But when I decided to do it in Liverpool, suddenly I remembered how John loved his mother, and it choked me up. So this one in Liverpool will be my tribute to John.
"I think it will look very beautiful spread over this highly energised, beautiful city, the one John loved so much, and the one I've grown to love."
Lewis Biggs, director of the third Liverpool Biennial, said: "Naturally I hope that it offends nobody because there is no reason why it should offend anybody. The photographs we are being given are of a body that is very beautiful. So why should there be a problem?"
I'm sorry but it offended my. Fine its art and if Yoko Ono wants Liverpool to be the home of her work great but put it on display in a closed exhibition or museum.

i couldn't agree more. if it was ok to see naked bodies in public then why would we be charged with indecent exposure if we wandered round naked?
