Oprah and Kate Moss statues

Two icons of different physical dimensions have been immortalized in gold statues. Oprah and Kate Moss have joined Paris Hilton and Britney Spears as the subject of Daniel Edwards sculptures. Our canons of beauty have exploded, so that Greek Golden Rule porportions no longer hold true. I wonder what the subjects think of their statutes?

"Controversial American sculptor Daniel Edwards latest work 'The Oprah Sarcophagus', is a very full-figured sculpture of Oprah Winfrey - and that's where the likeness begins and ends."
