Laser Dinghy Number Versus Age
"Belle" [Amsterdam, Red Light District, Statue in honor of prostitutes]
"Belle" [Amsterdam, Red Light District, Statue in honor of prostitutes]
Inserito originariamente da Corscri Daje Tutti! [Cristiano Corsini] "Titled Belle, the monument depicts a full-breasted woman who, feet apart and standing in a doorway at the top of small set of steps, looks self-assuredly into the world.
It was created by artist Els Rijerse from ’s-Graveland, Netherlands.
The bronze sculpture — which stands on Oudekerksplein in front of the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam’s oldest church — was designed at the initiative of Mariska Majoor, of the Prostitution Information Center.
According to Majoor, herself a former prostitute, the statue is meant to show respect to the millions of people around the world who earn their money in prostitution.
The same square, bordered by pubs, coffee shops and bordellos, already sports a sculpture of a hand caressing a breast, one of several bronze and iron statues donated to the city of Amsterdam by an unknown artist.
In order to prevent vandalism, the statue is fortified with steel. Belle is perched atop a high, granite pedestal meant to deter those who engage in so-called ‘wild-peeing.’
Hours before the statue was unveiled, Mariska Majoor was physically assaulted by an elderly lady who apparently was not happy to have the statue close to her home. The woman was taken into police custody, and released after the unveiling had taken
place".

Open Locked American Tourister
Amsterdam pub
Amsterdam pub
originally uploaded by Corscri Daje All! [Cristiano Corsini] 
Amsterdam pubs I visited were a pleasant surprise. The owners, refractory to restructuring imposed by the designer on the franchise or taste of the season on duty, making a room like everyone else except himself, keep furniture and accessories of the past and use them in a surprising way. So I saw parts of chandeliers use liberty as dumbwaiters and paintings, just removed from the walls, used as coffee tables. I felt catapulted Brazil or Army of Twelve Monkeys (to be seen in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas I think it's enough to sneak Coffee Shop). In
local photo I have not set foot.
