bronzelife-sizeStanley ParkVancouver, British ColumbiaTo create the bronze statue, sculptor Elek Imredy first took a mold of the top surface of the rock. In his studio, he made a replica of the rock and modeled the figure in clay. A plaster of paris mold was made from the clay figure and the sculpture was cast in fibreglass. This fibreglass figure was flown to Rome where it was cast in bronze.On June 9th, 1972, the sculpture was set in place by a crane reaching out from shore to the rock 8o feet away and fastened to the stone with stainless steel bolts. The next day the sculpture was ceremoniously unveiled. Girl in a Wetsuit has become a landmark for visitors to Stanley Park and to boats that enter the harbour.

Canucks Fans

Now that we’re in the playoff finals (of what, you ask? are you FUCKING KIDDING ME I reply) it seems that the bandwagon-jumping Canucks-fans-come-lately are the most vehement in their love proclamations, sometimes to a positively obnoxious degree. Well, you know how it is with young love, fresh-plucked from the vine. At least they’re not feeding each other in public, though they ARE indulging in PDAs which might be counter to the concept of human dignity.

But that’s nothing compared to some Bruins fans. Check out this extremely authentic video of a Boston Bruins fan attempting to justify his crazed (and obviously futile) love for his group of losers.

It’s sad, really.

All hail Canucksistan!

All hail the socialist republic of Canucksistan!

All hail the newly-born socialist republic of Canucksistan! My predictive abilities have been pretty good recently, so I say the nation should last something like, oh, seven games plus overtime.

What do you mean you don’t worship the Canucks? Don’t you know they can fly, bitches? THEY CAN FLY!

Then again, maybe you do.

In any case, there are in Canuckistan currently no bigger celebrities than the Canucks (except maybe Ann Murray, of course) but as a token of appreciation for our foreign readers we hereby present the celebrity gossip roundup, one day late because apparently I’m so hot I can’t write uninterrupted in a public place anymore. At least yesterday the men bought be drinks: the one today just tried to break a window. On the other hand, that could be the difference between the DTES and Yaletown…
