It Made Me Smile

Given the amounts of snow North American has been getting recently, its not suprising that a large number of snow sculptures have been appearing.  However, a New Jersey family was told by police to cover up their snow sculpture after complaints from neighbours that it was offensive.

Mrs Gonzalez and her family had spent a number of hours crafting a nude sculpture in front of their home in Rahway, New Jersey.

The sculpture even attracted the attention of passing motorists stopped to take photos of their version of the celebrated Greek statue Venus de Milo, and several neighbours were complimentary.

However, Rahway police sent an officer to their home after they received an anonymous complaint of “a naked snow woman”, and asked the family to cover her up.

Although the Police officer was apologetic and appreciative of the snowlady and her assets, he insisted that the family dress the snowlady to present any further embarrassment of their neighbours.

“He said, ‘It’s very good,’” Mrs Gonzalez recalled.

Mrs Gonzalez said: “She was curvaceous, bodacious and booty-licious.”

“I thought she looked more objectified and sexualised after you put the bikini on.”

Mrs Gonzalez’s daughter Maria Conneran, 21,  said they had been made to cover up art.

She said: “Our snow lady looked like marble. It looked like a statue.

“Are you going to go to the Met and cover up all the statues?”
