New York – The Statue of Liberty whose crown is scheduled to reopen July 4, threatens to quit her job if she does not get a new hairstyle before the commemorative day.Since her crown was closed to the public on September 11, 2001, maintenance workers have tarnished Lady Liberty’s nose and robe and made improvements to her expanding waste line, leaving the ‘mop of hair’ atop her head untouched.
“My client can see all the latest hairstyles on New Yorkers, and she is left with a raggedy style from the 18th century,” the statue’s lawyer Ariana Funkle said.
First Lady Michelle Obama immediately responded, saying that despite not being made of steel, she can relate to the statue.
“Girl, my stylist needs to come out there and give some volume or a retro fro,” she told the statue during a press conference earlier today.
Since the news broke, stylists around the world are lining up with suggestions in the hopes they will be the one chosen to do this historic work.
French President Nicholas Sarkozy has even offered to send top stylists from Vidal Sassoon to America to do the job, saying that France’s gift to America ‘should never go out of style.’
“I would offer her a bottle of wine or espresso, but I do not think a statue can move her arms.” Sarkozy said.
