The Londoners will be brutal.
An albatross?????? I mean, has he read The Ancient Mariner???The work commissioned by Mr. al Fayed shows the couple, who were on vacation together when they died, holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes beneath a soaring albatross — a symbol of eternity and good fortune.

It would have been a somewhat more interesting piece if they both were naked...ah nude. Diana has a very thin slip on and Dowdy Dodi has what two piece business suit...give me a break.

If you like this sort of genre, the new sculpture in Times Square of the V-J Day Kiss is much better and has lot more feeling to it.

I wonder if he's got a collection of Elvis pictures on black velvet to serve as the proper backdrop for this work of art?
