Oct 13 2009It's Just So....Beautiful: Amazing Sand Art
This is the winner of the hit television series Ukraine's Got Talent, Kseniya Simonova, showing off her sand manipulating skills. And let me tell you, it's impressive. Almost as impressive as the time I made a three-bucket sandcastle at the beach before the ocean washed it away. DAMN YOU, POSEIDON, YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF ME!
Thanks to Joemo, Misa, Harriet and naas, who have all kicked sand in an opponent's face during a fistfight.

Last time I drew my name in the sand box they asked me to leave the children's playground and never come back..... is that sand art?
Or maybe Pee-Pee-Caligraphy?

Not an original concept by any stretch but she's hot so she deserved to win in any case. Having Metallica in the soundtrack doesn't hurt either.

You should've just put him back in the box, taped it up, then wrote "Return to Sender" on the box.

actually not that impressed. This seems easy to do. Even if one does make a mistake it's really easy to fix.

Apocalyptica was the actual artist, Metallica cover.

Now THAT is talent. I get so sick of seeing works from lame untalented wannabes. Like that steampunk table. Really? That wasn't art at all. It was plumbing.
13. this guy - October 13, 2009 12:56 PM
@4, really?
called apocalyptica. they played the Helsinki world championship in 2005.

Anyone know what the words she writes at the end translate to?
23. theurbanraptor - October 13, 2009 5:55 PM
Actually, feist does this at her concerts too.
EVERYONE and their mom's do/does sand art.

24. Billy Rapture - October 13, 2009 6:07 PM
naas, i believe that is the only appropriate response.
25. D - October 13, 2009 6:54 PM
Nice work, Very nice indeed. Just one thing that bugs me...
WHY MUST THE JUDGES CRY ALL THE DAMN TIME.
26. lissy - October 13, 2009 7:06 PM
were the people really crying? wow...
27. Conspiracy - October 13, 2009 8:06 PM
Why are people crying? It's just sand it's not like kitten blood. Well i guess that would be more funny but you get the point.
28. DASH - October 13, 2009 8:48 PM
at 7:38 the song goes to whatever Metallica ripped off 'Nothing else matters' from
29. ganmerlad - October 14, 2009 6:28 AM
It is a sand movie! Imagine the hours and hours of practice, how much sand must be everywhere, how uncomfortable in beds and shoes and underwear. Also, her hands must be rough. But it pays off in the end. Cool.

Red Spectra - it's something like "you are always with us" or "you are always in our hearts", got it from When this was shown in the Guardian months ago.
31. Brian - October 14, 2009 10:02 AM
