Humans are weird. Being a tourist makes us weirder. I passed the Molly Malone statue while walking in Dublin. Lore has it that rubbing her breasts will bring you luck. Molly herself looks exhausted by it all. #humansofbluesky #urbangaze #eastcoastkin #travel✈️🗺️🌍#streetscape #photography
There is a campaign by a woman called Tilly Cripwell to get Molly some protection 🙏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
There is a brass sculpture marking the grave of a slain journalist in Père Lachaise, I think he was slain by a romantic competitor, local legend says if a woman rubs his junk they’ll get pregnant.
We should introduce him to Molly Malone. 😁
yes! LOL
Can't. She died o' the faver, and no one could save her, and that's how we lost our sweet Molly Malone. She'll no more wheel her barrow through streets broad and narrow singing "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o"
Sort of creepy.
Yeah, says so much about our society.
That song is stuck in my head now 😂
I agree.
Same with the Juliette statue in Verona.
I feel like we should put together a statue support group

She looks totally bronzed off
😂
She was a fishmonger, and that was no wonder, her mother and father were fishmongers, too. She pushed her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow, singing cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o.
Jesus Christ....smfh.

She’s seen some things… 😂
Indeed 😂
The statue is often called “The tart with the cart” by locals.
Poor Molly gets no end of abuse 😄
