A woman with a strange attraction for inanimate objects has found true love — with the Statue of Liberty. Smitten shop assistant Amanda Whittaker, 27, says she has fallen head over heels for the iconic New York monument.
Amanda, who had a passionate love affair with a drum kit while still at school, said: "She is my long-distance lover and I am blown away by how stunning she is."
The 27-year-old, from Leeds, has a condition called objectum sexuality, in which people fall in love with things rather than humans.
She first fell for "Libby", as she calls the statue, when a pal in New York posted her a picture online.
Since then she has visited the 151ft statue in person four times, caressing it and leaning out of a window to kiss its hair. She has even thought about marrying it — but decided against it "because so many others love her too".
Instead she has settled for a shrine to Libby in her home featuring a 6ft replica, hundreds of smaller models and ornaments and huge US flags.

According to your jewish news she said: "Other people might be shocked to think I can have romantic feelings for an object, but I am not the same as them."
