Whenever I am in Brussels, I always try to be sure that I see the Manneken Pis, the little boy who is one of the symbols of the city. Normally, he is naked and is peeing into a fountain, but on special occasions he is clothed in one of his many costumes. Yesterday, he was wearing an athletic suit, with what appeared to be a Belgian flag, and running shoes. The statue of the boy is not very big and I am also posting a shot of the alcove in which he is located to give you an idea of his size.
I will try to check him again before I leave and see if he has changed into a different set of clothes. If so, I’ll be sure to post another photo.

Love the creativity…Seattle has the statue Waiting for the Interurban that gets the same treatment. They are local jokes, but so much fun. If you pass weekly they are always wearing something new.
Dressing a statue must be an awful lot of work!
The mind boggles as to how they got those clothes on him.
