That's the name of the giant statue that reaches down to passersby on 5th Avenue in Portland. I understand that there are similar statues in other cities, though that particular one is apparently copyrighted by the sculptor. (Possibly interesting trivia: she's the second largest of her construction type in the US. The first is the Statue of Liberty.)
Portlanders call her "Pull My Finger". If you Google "Portlandia" and "statue", you'll see why.

A month ago I have seen her in real and I have nearly the same photo ! We were all disappointed she is so small you have to look twice to see her in the crowd !
You went to Copenhagen?

Mermaids are especially intriguing. They long for what they do not have, yet they are saddened if they attain what they think they want.
ReplyDeleteSimilar to humans, I dare say. ;)
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
