SoHo Bids Farewell To Life Size Lolita

A frequent topic of conversation between a friend and I has been the gargantuan billboard that has occupied prime Manhattan real estate in the shopping mecca of SoHo.

The most disturbing half (illustrated above) showcases Kate Bosworth, one of the new faces looking like an emaciated pre-pubescent temptress.

Not only do my friend and I concur that her belly shirt is so "Britney Spears, baby one more time", but we take issue with the message this ad sends that good things come in small packages.

Fortunately, I am pleased to announce that the billboard has been taking down. To my disappointment, it was not replaced with the racy David Beckham Armani skivvies ad (for the record, I have been mere inches from the Beckster and he reeks of sex appeal, but that is another story). Oh well, I will take any victory, big or small.
