This photo from the Museum of Sex shows a bust of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, cast in resin, which was unveiled this week at the Museum of Sex in Manhattan. Calling his creation "The Presidential Bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton: The First Woman President of the United States," artist Daniel Edwards said he wanted to depict the 58-year-old Clinton "with her head held high, a youthful spirit and a face matured by wisdom."

NEW YORK — Well, it looks like Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidency is set in stone.
OK, resin.
A bust of the New York Democrat was unveiled this week at the Museum of Sex in Manhattan. And when we say bust, we mean it.
The statue by Daniel Edwards is called “The Presidential Bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton: The First Woman President of the United States” and captures the former first lady with very little covering her top.
“Her cleavage is on display, prominently portraying sexual power which some people still consider too threatening,” Edwards said.

NOT UNPRECEDENTED:
Edwards has a knack for creating pieces that attract publicity — his last work, unveiled at a gallery in Brooklyn, depicted Britney Spears on her knees giving birth on a bearskin rug.

JUST TO BE CLEAR:
Clinton is widely thought to be considering a presidential run in 2008 but has not declared her plans. | Only registered users can write comments.

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
