Cow Parade

No, it's not what you think.

The exhibition, an alternative public art event, hits the streets of London in just 4 days.
CowParade consists of 150+ life-size fibreglass cows, which are colourfully painted and decorated by artists, celebrities and members of the general public. The cows will be on display on the streets of London & the underground, for 12 weeks from June 18th.
Great for photo-ops, if my pics from Chicago are anything to go by.

Ooooh Miaow!!!!!

I saw some piccys of this when it happened last year. Its actually quite cool, though I imagine a bit unnerving if you are just driving along minding your own business and all of a sudden thers a cow on the edge of a zebra crossing or something

Ooh, I saw some of these when I was in New York in September 2000. You can have great fun cow-spotting!

moxymous I live in my own little world........but its ok, they know me here.

I know it sounds wierd but it's a fun thing to happen in London. We've not had much luck recently with sites/attractions, i.e Dome, Millenium Bridge.
At the end of the exhibit the cows are auctioned off for childrens charities.

Anyway, plastic cows are fun, just ask anyone from Milton Keynes.

Starts today - 18th June and lasts for 12 weeks.
So if you're out and about in London mind the cow pats.

Ishtar There are more important things in life to think about than shoes... but not right now.

the woman who has been making clothes for the highland cow was on the midlands news yesterday. she's knitted it socks and everything. she needs someone to sponsor it.
