A provocative street mural of Hillary Clinton in Melbourne has been covered up following complaints by local council . The mural of the US Presidential nominee wearing a skimpy stars and stripes-patterned monokini was painted on a wall in Footscray last weekend by street artist Lushsux. After protest from Maribyrnong Council, who requested the artwork be removed, the artist has chosen to instead cover his work in a niqab, a full body covering typically worn by Muslim women.

LOL!

[EQAndyBuzz]

Now that’s funny.

This is one time I support wearing a Niqab.

Cute.

But the CRAZY EYES still show!

Works for me!

Note the commentary the artist put beside the painting.

"If this Muslim woman offends u, u r a bigot, racist, sexist Islamophobe!"

Now my response to the artist would be this, a woman choosing to dress like this has never offended me but a society that FORCES all women to dress like this, DOES!

I guess that is an improvement.

Should have kept the cash sticking out of her pocket.

Her hand is still showing.

"Should have kept the cash sticking out of her pocket."

But she can hide a lot more with her new fashion. And more than just money.

I was thinking the same thing. Save that image anyway - I have a feeling it’ll be paired over soon.

*painted* over (stupid autocorrect).
