I have found most 'Arty' types to be a bit weird ,( appart from photographers of course) When I was a youngun and had long hair, I was dating an art student who dyed my hair black (I am dark brown, or was ) tied it in a ribbon, then wanted me to pose in a Roman Toga with a spear and shield, like a gladiator, so she could paint a portrait of me.

Thankfully I saw the light and the relationship never got that far.EmbarassedLaughing

I'm not into modern art as such, and certainly wouldn't travel to this beach to see these iron men. But each to his own.

A Roman gladiator huh! Wild!

LOL @ Wolf!  As the song says, "Love will make a man do things he ain't proud of and in a weak moment I might walk your sissy dog, hold your purse at the mall, but remember I'm still a guy!"  LOL!
