A woman was arrested after doing a nude photoshoot on a popular seaside sculpture in Mexico.
Olga Larrea was seen in video footage stepping on the base of the La Perla sculpture in the city of La Paz on Saturday and quickly removing her dress as a photographer prepared take snaps.
The 30-year-old then hurled her dressed at the photographer and climbed atop the monument, which resembles a pearl sitting in an open clam.
She posed on the sculpture as traffic along the two-lane avenue next to the boardwalk slowed and bystanders looked on in shock.
Larrea then signaled to her photographer to hand her her dress and clibmed down.
The Mexico City resident was approached by cops and she was placed under arrest.
She was taken to the local prosecutor’s office and released after paying a fine of 3,365 Mexican pesos, or about $163.
Larrea had posted the photoshoot pictures on her Facebook account before deleting them.

The nudist model was critical of the authorities for arresting and fining her. ‘Why is the human body censored, but not violence?’ she said
The nudist was critical of the authorities for not granting her the right to express herself.
‘Guess who was arrested for simply existing?’ she wrote.
‘Why is the human body censored, but not violence?
‘Nudity is not offensive, it is natural. Let’s stop the shaming, reclaim our freedom and normalize what is human.’
Users on social media blasted Larrea for the move.
‘Let her show off her body in another place where it is allowed to go nude, where she does not damage any sculpture,’ one said.
Another commented that authorities should fully prosecute her instead of letting her walk away with a fine.
