For her art project "The Pedestrian Project," costume designer Yvette Helin decided that she's going to bring to life the "lady" from the ubiquitous street sign.
She's done this since 1989, but stopped after 9/11 - now, she's restarting the project for Art in Odd Places in Manhattan: http://www.pedestrianproject.yvettehelinstudio.com/

She did this in Waterloo Ontario a few years back. The overall reaction of the public was "huh?" I'm sure there is some kind of meaning or message she is trying to express, but nobody I talked to seemed to get it. Most people were just kinda creeped out.

I love the way she looks with the colourful wall behind her. :)
