Colombian artist Fernando Botero’s enormous sculptures inside the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle get a lot of attention, especially a rather small (but shiny) facet of the male. Named Adam and Eve, the portly couple towers naked over shoppers passing through on their way to William Sonoma, Whole Foods and the other shops inside the commercial center. But unlike many sculptures that are easy to walk past without noticing, Adam and Eve seem to entice people to stop–and touch. In fact, so many people touch the sculpture’s small but prominent penis that it has been worn to a golden shine.

... ist der Spitzname der US-amerikanischen Metropole New York. Hier die Sicht vom TOP OF THE ROCK in Richtung Empire State Building. [Die für New York City verwendete Bezeichnung „The Big Apple“ wurde erstmalig in dem 1909 herausgegebenen Buch von Edward S. Martin "The Wayfarer in New York" (der Reisende in New York) gebraucht. In einer Metapher, die die Gefühle erklären sollte, die im Mittleren Westen bei dem Gedanken aufkommen, daß New York mehr als seinen gerechten Anteil vom Reichtum des Landes erhält, sagt der Schriftsteller: “New York war lediglich eine der Früchte jenes großen Baumes, dessen Wurzeln im Tal des Mississippi gründen und dessen Äste sich von einem Ozean zum anderen breiten... Aber the big apple (New York) erhält einen unverhältnismäßig großen Anteil des nationalen Lebenssaftes.]
It's been nearly a year since my wonderful trip to NYC hosted by Yahoo! It was seriously such an incredible experience and I hope someday that my future career path will take me back to the Big Apple!
