Massive bather makes splash in German lake
Call it "The Bath of the 70-foot Woman." Or "Two Tons of Mermaid."
The real name of the massive woman in a Hamburg, Germany, lake is actually "Die Badende" ("The Bather"), and she's an ad for British beauty brand Soap & Glory.
"We launched Soap & Glory in Germany last year, and we've been looking for a way to say, 'Thank you!' to everyone for embracing our products, and making us a real success there. At Soap & Glory, we consider it our calling to bring more beauty to the world, and have fun doing it - 'Die Badende' does exactly that," the brand's founder, Marcia Kilgore, said in a news release.
"Die Badende" is the work of art creator Oliver Voss. It's almost 13 feet high, 67 feet long and weighs two tons.
The sculpture is made from a steel cage covered with Styrofoam almost a foot thick, which is then covered by a layer of special filler sealed with a polyester resin.
It will spend 10 days in Hamburg's Inner Alster Lake.
Apparently, "Die Badende" is as modest as "she" is massive. Soap & Glory promises a crane will be standing by with a supersize towel when "Die Badende" is ready to come out of the water.

They should have installed strategically-placed air tanks on the floor of the lake to release a large volume of air at random intervals.
I too would look as startled as the giant lady if while taking a dip a miniature boat showed up with tiny people in it.
Lets thank our customers by dumping 2 tons of metal and vanity in their lake?
Excuse me, but if you'd take the time to actually read the article you'd know that the people of Germany 'embraced' this product line. If there's a better reason to dump toxic laden advertising material in a lake other than 'embracing' I'm sure that I've never heard of it.
can you imagine how long would it take to shave them legs lol..
Creepy....
Just imagine what would happen is she farted...
Kinda looks like Madonna
Except Madonna does not bathe.
Time to go clam diving
I see what you did there!
Bow chick bow wow
Her expression suggests that there may be several divers stuck in a cave somewhere...
nice work Mr. Voss..very good 🙂
Where have I heard that before? A lake, a giant creepy sculpture made out of styrofoam and lightning rods...
Oh, yeah, Rest in Peace, Big Butter Jesus.
And thanks CNN for further propagating their advertising campaign!
I heard there was a secret tunnel
You win the thread!
Mermaids don't have legs.
To me, she looks like Christian Slayter in drag. Rather disturbing.
I wonder if their beauty products make you look as ugly as their sculpture.
