I don’t know exactly when I first knew about Venus de Milo, but it must have been when I was but a fuzzy-brained kid because I have always thought that she didn’t need arms to look hot. (I hope that adjective can apply to a statue.)
Anyhow, Venus de Milo’s original look featured arms. Alas, since it was retrieved from some pile of cool ruins somewhere in Greece in 1820, it’s safe to guess that she was either just manhandled or ravaged by the elements. It’s a good thing that she was recovered (after much fuss) and sent off to grace the Louvre in Paris, France. (Just check out the Venus de Milo entry on Wikipedia for the whole baffling story.)
Why am I fascinated with her more now? Well, I guess it’s because she’s one sex symbol who proves that one need not be anorexic or endowed with toned arms to get men’s attention and drive them nuts. It’s too bad that she can’t talk.
Yes, I know that Venus de Milo was never actually alive. But, hey, she’s still sexy after all these centuries. Who can beat that?
