Hairong Tiantian: Art In A Box (With Crotchless Fishnets!)

Remember that female blogger in China who asked men to send her pictures of their flaccid penises? Yeah, us neither, but the Shanghaiist does and he checks in with an update on her latest saucy adventure. First of all, her name is Hairong Tiantian and for the last few weeks she's been living on the street in Beijing. Actually, not on the street so much as living in a glass box, alongside a male artist in his own box. They're sealed off from each other and the rest of the world, but completely on display for anyone who cares to watch. It's supposed to be an artistic comment on the "isolation of many couples in today's hectic, time-starved world" but it's mostly become an exhibition of Tiantian and the sexy lingerie that she spend most of her day lounging around in; the only symbolism that passersby seem to be contemplating involves her baby doll outfits and fishnet stockings. In case you haven't figured out that she's a bit of an exhibitionist, there's also some photos of her hanging out on a bridge without her shirt. Only a few days left to see the girl in the box, but we're guessing this won't be the last time she manages to garner some attention.
