Still single? Nip over to Ukraine to marry your own real life Sleeping Beauty.
It seems Fairy Tales and Happily Ever Afters are not just a figment of our imaginations nor are they only to be found in children's books.
Ukrainian artist Taras Polatajko has found a way of bringing to live old time favourite classic Sleeping Beauty with a very 21st century twist.
The National Art Museum in Ukraine has a woman on display laying asleep up to two hours a day in the public gallery, as scores of people pass by deciding if this "Sleeping Beauty" is worth their Kiss of Life. If any plants a kiss on the "Sleeping Beauty" and she opens her eyes, the couple will marry. Legal documents obliging to this have already been signed by visitors and the "Sleeping Beauty" prior to this charade.
Like poultry on display at the farmer market, the "fattest chick" gets picked by buyers.So too is the concept of this "art piece" whereby women are displayed under baying eyes of public who inspect them, to determine if they are worthy of rescue from their single life.
Fear not Lesbians. Ye have not been forgotten. This piece of art is not in any kind of way discriminatory or overlooking same sex alliance. If the Sleeping Beauty opens her eyes to the amorous Kiss of Life from a woman, the two will still be allow to marry. However as Ukraine does not recognise same sex marriages, the couple will be free to pursue this in another country which acknowledges this.
Sleeping Beauty runs at the NAM Ukraine from 22nd August to 9th September.
