Hillary Finds her Inner Vamp

It took an Australian artist to expose Hillary Clinton's well-hidden inner vamp. The image was painted on a wall in Melbourne by a street artist named Lushsux. Some people consider it to be profoundly offensive so it might soon be taken down. Thus, in the interest of posterity, we can preserve it here:

Maybe it will be replaced with a cartoonish image of Muhammed.

Fortunately on the web, nothing ever disappears, but its nice to have the source too. I imagine if he draws Trump, The Donald would be proud to sign a copy of the art work.

The creator of the painting, the street artist who goes by the name Lushsux and who has also painted murals of the likes of Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian, branded calls to remove it "pathetic".

The provocative mural is on the wall of a small business in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray, and reports say the business has been asked by the local Maribyrnong Council to remove it.

"We believe it is offensive because of the depiction of a near-naked woman, not on the basis of disrespect to Hillary Clinton, in accordance with the Graffiti Prevention Act 2007," the council's chief executive Stephen Wall told Fairfax Media on Friday.
...
Lushsux accused the council of being out of control, telling Fairfax the mural was "on par offence-wise" with a deodorant ad.
...
Asked what he planned next, Lushsux told listeners: "I might paint a big mural of Trump in similar style."

I'll have to see what ordinances my city has, but I imagine it would be painted over quick here, whether it looked like a public figure or not.

Anyway you can learn about the artist too, in case you're interested in sponsoring his next street art project:

Lush is an artist from Melbourne who is known for his public works on the streets, walls, panels and subway trains. His work is confrontational, provocative, humorous and challenging, and it provides a commentary on the existing street pieces. Lush ones said: My art is nothing new really; loads of people did similar stuff before me. I just stole Their ideas and ran with them. Hence the title "Graffiti Asshole."

Far too attractive to be Hillary!

Plus that graffiti doll has a waist; the real Hillary hasn't been acquainted with the tops of her shoes for years!
