Which Way Western Woman?

The first picture (not great quality in the sun) depicts a statue of Judith beheading the Assyrian general, Holofernes (as told in the Apocrypha). Judith is a Jewish widow from Bethulia, a town under siege by the Assyrians. As the story goes, she enters their camp, seduces Holofernes with drink, and cuts off his head after he falls asleep, saving her city from destruction.

The second picture is of that one lady famous….for being on her phone?
