I saw the lipstick but had no idea that the tube inflates and deflates--yikes. I'll be sure to stop by Yale on my Oldenburg tour. Hey, Sassy J mastered the hyperlink!

The lipstick tube inflates and deflates. The piece was stealth installed at Yale in the middle of 1970, during much Vietnam protest (and the base is a tank)—without the administration knowing. This was also the first year the University was co-ed. Four years later it was permanently acquired by the University, funded by students and professors.

But that one truly has a more J-Lo ass-esque quality to it than the one I was thinking of. Kind of bubbular if you know what I mean. The one I was referring to is right off of Interstate-75 about ten miles south of Macon in Middle Georgia. I googled it and couldn't come up with a picture, next time I'm down that way I'll be more than happy to bring my camera. Now that I think about it, this might make for a pretty good photo assignment. Nah, that’s not it. But that one truly has a more J-Lo ass-esque quality to it than the one I was thinking of.

You get to see real art just by walking around. The only big, artsy, Oldenburg-esque, sculptural item in Georgia (outside of Atlanta) is a water tower painted up to look like a giant peach. Unfortunately it more closely resembles a humongous ass. Actually I was going to say it looks more like a "camel toe", but I didn't want to offend. It really does though. Lucky you.
