A Tribe, But Of What?

A Family

North of the Arch and the Laclede's Landing entertainment district is a derelict industrial area. Not like Detroit, but thank heaven for small favors. One of them is a long, narrow building that looks like it contained an assembly line, the structure in the center of this Google Earth link

The place is covered with graffiti, inside and out, but when I drove by the other day I saw something new. It's hard to tell unless you can zoom in on the high res version but this group of - something - is all female. They are wearing briefs and shoulder sashes. None of them have hair. A few are missing a body part here and there, probably because the figures were put in the wall in sections, maybe of paper. It's enigmatic.

  1. Strange. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but not manner of dress.
