“[T]he ‘Forever Marilyn’ statue will be moved from its perch in front of the Palm Springs Art Museum
to a city park… Many critics did not object to the [26-foot-tall figure] itself, merely its placement…
However, some have said the statue is hyper-sexualized and misogynist, given that it shows Marylin
Monroe’s underwear… The statue recreates a famous scene [where a breeze] blows up the skirt
of Monroe’s character.”
—The Desert Sun

Fittingly, wittingly,
local authorities
plan to move Marilyn.
Nevertheless,

some might accuse them of
unconscientiously
skirting an issue they
ought to redress.
