I've Noticed a Tit-Cupping Trend!

My favoUrite genre of fellow-tourist is the variety that says, “I know, take a picture of me in front of that naked statue and I’ll pretend like I’m holding its boob!” Although the person doesn’t actually touch the boobs, it looks like he does because of a phenomenon known to artists as "perspective".

I saw this act replicated and re-replicated at such places as the Jardin du Luxembourg and the Louvre with the Venus di Milo. An extensive search on Google, with search phrases like “cupping boob/breast famous statue” and “grabbing tit statue Paris” convinced me that although people don’t hesitate to take these classy pictures, they do hesitate to post them on the internet. This was the only one I managed to find that represented the spirit of my original search.

Blog fans, please indulge me by trying a search of your own. I’m sure these “I’m cupping the breasts of a famous statue” pictures are out there, I just can’t get the wording in the Google Image Search right. If you do find some photos, or take some of your own, please feel free to share with a comment below!
