Giant woman graces German lake

HAMBURG, Germany, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- A 13-foot-high, 67-foot-long sculpture of a woman bathing in an urban lake is attracting attention in Hamburg, Germany.

"Die Badende" ("The Bather") will spend 10 days in Hamburg's Inner Alster Lake, CNN reported Friday.

The sculpture, made from a steel cage covered with Styrofoam almost a foot thick by artist Oliver Voss, is a massive advertisement for the 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," Marcia Kilgore, the brand's founder, said in a news release.
