Lauren is on to something. We have been considering this a picture of Marilyn Monroe (as Lillian Russell) when in fact it could be a new design for a public bicycle stand. Imagine if instead of the black "S" shape bicycle locking tubes on our streets, we had Marilyn stands (and seat warmers) or Brad Pitts. Perhaps we would see more commuters.<br />
