I was passing through town and saw a Living Statue Street Artist
Living Statue is when some one pretends to be a statue in case anyone doesn’t know :)
I wasn’t going to go and take a photo (I don’t like taking photos of people) but my fabulous hubby persuaded me to go over to take some pictures
She looked Awesome. Her outfit was Brilliant.
If you drop money in the tub at her feet she moves, little kids where mesmerised by her :)
I dropped my money in and she twirled her umbrella looked at me and gave me a wink and a tip of her hat at which point I blushed red.
I don’t like attention from people, I’m not used to it :)
I didn’t know what to do or how to react, so I stood there grinning like a little kid turning red in my cheeks :)
Missing the perfect picture of her winking at me, ‘argh well’ these things happen I guess LOL
Funny thing is I’d love to do that and it wouldn’t bother me in that situation ‘Weird’ :)
She was absolutely cool, an Awesome piece of Street Art in Skegness.
Hi Happy Lady
Yes I saw her too on Saturday< I saw her again on the sunday and she was dressed as golden guardian angel and evey time the kids put money in se gave them a shiny stone as a keepsake….
She was dressed as an angel Cool
Shame I missed that :( will have to keep an eye out for the Angel.
I do hope she stays all season, it’s nice to have something interesting in the high street to look at.

I have always like street artists. I know some people scuff that they are not in theme with the area, but they make people stop and think for a while.
I have also said if I ever had no money, I have heard you can make a reasonable income if your idea is right.
I thought about a barber shop quartet in traditional candy stripped uniform in Europe. It is something different.
Those are nice photos.
People scoff at street artist? Some people are strange :)
She has nothing to fear in Skegness of not being in the theme of the area, Here in Skegness she adds a bit of class :)
Skegness is so gaudy you wouldn’t notice if someone threw multi coloured paint around town :)
As for the money she was making a far bit, I would say more than most buskers. children where eager to throw a coin in the tub to see what she would do.
She got lots of interest, people taking photographs and like you said stopping and thinking for a while
Maybe if times ever get hard you should consider being a living statue, a lot easier than a barber shop quartet.
Come to Skegness in the UK and you could help with giving the locals a bit of culture :)

As the Angel statue she also had a pot of I think what were polished stones which she was giving out when people dropped money in the pot, whilst I was there I noticed the kids were most impressed getting something back and thought they will remember that moment in time for a while….
