Kim Kardashian West sparked a conversation about [body image](http://motto.time.com/4253003/kim-kardashian-naked-selfie-critique/) and celebrity after [posting a nude selfie](http://time.com/4249385/kim-kardashian-nude-photo/) on Instagram. So naturally, a two-story tall mural is recreating the picture in a Melbourne alley.

The massive mural of the reality TV star and [selfie enthusiast](http://www.powells.com/book/kim-kardashian-selfish-9780789329202) appeared on the side of a building in Cremorne, a suburb of Melbourne, on Monday. A local street artist who goes by Lushsux is taking credit for the eyebrow-raising painting, which shows a nude Kardashian with black modesty bars transforming the image from R-Rated to merely PG-13.

The mural apparently upset a local worker who alerted local [radio station 3AW](http://www.3aw.com.au/news/mural-painting-of-kim-kardashian-naked-selfie-in-cremorne-melbourne-20160314-gnici7.html) to the massive nude selfie decorating the alleyway. The worker told 3AW that “nobody had been consulted about the mural being painted.” While the mural stands, Melbourne parents should probably brace themselves for a conversation about body image, proper uses of social media, and Kim Kardashian with their children (who have probably already seen it on the internet anyway).
