The Winner Is.... Lush Standing in from of the Kõlner Dom in Kõln (Cologne) Germany. An oversized T-shirt for an oversized church.      This great picture shows one of the great landmarks of Europe, Lush! Wait! We mean the Cathedral in Cologne, Germany. The Cathedral is the heart of the City and forms the center, providing the measure for everything else. 144 metres long, 86 metres wide and with 157-metre-tall spires. It stands on a flat-topped hill that has been a place of worship since the beginning of the city's history.      Excavations on the site have uncovered remains of a Roman heathen temple, but also traces of an early Christian church, which was probably extended in the 6th century and replaced by a Carolingian Cathedral in the 9th century.      Lush, by the looks of her, has not stood yet for even a quarter of a century. We'd never be so rude to guess a woman's dimensions. She now forms the epicenter of a new Barrow-Downs craze on the continent that is sending shockwaves as far as the Pyrenees and the Carpathians. A true force of nature. What has she won?? This Beautiful Frodo Bust created by Sideshow Weta This polystone statue is 6.75 inches high and will now look great on Lush's desk or bookshelf. Wait! We picked a 2nd place! Bear-o-Downs by Stacey Uffelman (aka Samwise) The name was as good as the picture! What has she won?? A copy of J.R.R. Tolkien The Hobbit An illustrated edition of the fantasy classic Congratulations to our winners!
