Via Salon: "The same sculptor who created the statue of Britney Spears naked and giving birth on a bearskin rug, which caused a stir a few months ago, will unveil his latest work at Manhattan's Museum of Sex on Aug. 9. The piece? 'Presidential Bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton,' Daniel Edwards' armless, chesty likeness of Clinton in a revealing evening gown. (There's a video of the artist at work up on YouTube.) The museum's director says the piece is meant to create a discussion on whether a woman has to 'squelch her sexuality in order to succeed as leader of the free world.' Edwards, meanwhile, tells Rush & Molloy he strove for anatomical correctness: 'It's hard to find many images of her [breasts]. She usually covers herself up in a professional way. But there are beach photos of her.'"
