Throw bread crumbs and watch Ivanka vacuum them up. Endlessly.

This is fascinating and I don't know exactly what to think of it. I guess good artwork is often a bit striking and slightly uncomfortable - but I will say one thing.

She obviously needs much bigger kidneys.


Ivanka Trump hits back at hoovering lookalike artwork



Ivanka Trump has criticised an artwork that shows her lookalike hoovering up breadcrumbs from a gallery floor.

Visitors to the Washington DC gallery throw crumbs for the model to clean.

The gallery says Ivanka Vacuuming, by Jennifer Rubell, explores Ms Trump's "comically wide range of feminine identities - daughter, wife, mother, sister, model, working woman, blonde".

In response, Ms Trump tweeted that "women can choose to knock each other down or build each other up".

The performance is being staged by arts group CulturalDC for two hours every night until 17 February, and is also being live-streamed online.

CulturalDC's executive director Kristi Maiselman said Ms Rubell's work was "insightful", "timely" and "boundary-pushing" in its reflection of contemporary womanhood.

We are watching "Sherlock" on Netflix and I just love all the little British bits.
