Brum vs Belfast #7: Sculpure Women

In Birmingham we have the Floozie in the Jacuzzi that sits in Victoria Square, created by artist Dhruva Mistry:

In Belfast’s Thanksgiving Square there’s The Thing With The Ring (actually called The Beacon of Hope by artist Andy Scott).


She’s also known as The Ring of Thanksgiving, Nuala with the Hula or The Doll with the Ball.  Whatever her name is, she’s a bit scrawny, ain’t she?  I prefer my sculpture women a bit more curvaceous, just like me.  Birmingham’s Floozie in the Jacuzzi wins for having a more meat on her bones.
