After the attack on the galleries, one tourist agency, after the intrusion into the world of sexuality of the western art, the Bad Girl is also on a billboard. The famous grinning character holding the attributes of movement, relocating tightly, saying "I stay!". The decisiveness of her attitude is not caused by any kind of politics, ideology, party programme. The decision is natural, implied because it is about a special kind, which is afraid that it will not function outside the context it was created in, where it resides, intervenes, and if caused by anything, than it is self-abnegating for the incapability to go away, to step out and a caprice because of the readiness to always replace travelling with a new pair of boots which will always be used for walking the same streets.
