What's a fun way to cover up a nasty poster?

In the room of my study’s students society, some people have put up a poster on the wall. It’s nasty. No really, don’t click that.
Anyway, because we found it wasn’t the prettiest sight, me and some friends cut a bra out of a magazine and plastered that over the poster. That was fun and it stayed up there for a while, but it was recently removed.
Now, because it has nostalgic value (it’s sort of a souvenir), I don’t want to remove it or damage it. However, I would really like to cover it up again, and since doing the same thing again isn’t really fun anymore, I thought I’d consult the Fluther community for original, fun ways to cover up this poster.
PS. I should be writing an essay right now, but as you can see, I clearly have more important things to do.

Eh. Its just a poster. Surely its not too distracting
Oooh oooh- pasties. With tassles.
@gemiwing Ha, pasties are nice. And a picture of someone (I don’t think anyone knows who the dean is) is cool too.
@pinkparaluies It’s a kind of running gag, just to brighten up some days :)
i really shouldn’t have clicked the link
That poster is absolutely horrible. First, I would give it a fig leaf. Then I would put a flag kind of like this coming out of the gun pointed toward the head in order to cover up that unsightly face. Some slinky lingerie should finish the job nicely.
Little popgun corks in the muzzles of the guns.
Treat her as a paper doll and create a whole wardrobe of clothing for her, changeable, so that she can wear something different every day. Add accessories, and a collection of speech bubbles. You would have to come up with just a few basic templates for clothing that could then be designed just for her. You’d have to laminate her before anyone started taping and untaping clothing. That would preserve her original state.
Does she have a name?
First. Why is that poster turning me on?
Second, when no one is around. Paint over it. Cover the whole thing.
Problem solved.
Go for the classic way to disarm any disturbing image: mustache! Not that that particular example is disturbing, but you’re laughing now, right?
ribbon (for the face) even though I don’t approve of censoreship, thats one ugly mug.
In addition to the excellent clothing suggestions, perhaps you could do new hands, holding various things, to go with the outfits… Ooh, and how about overdone makeup!!!
I will NEVER click a link again
I have no idea but damn, who put that up there?
@ChazMaz Because of its nostalgic value, I don’t want to damage the thing.
Some excellent suggestions again, this is going to be fun :)
@PandoraBoxx We call her “je moeder met twee pistolen”, meaning “your mom with two guns”. The painting is by Maria Lassnig and is called Du oder Ich (You or Me). That’s all I know about it – I didn’t quite feel like visiting the exposition :P
Dress her as the statue of liberty.
Nostalgia it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.
But I understand.
Given the creator, I vote for selling her.
I was gonna go mustache all over this thread, but @aprilsimnel stole it. Hmm, it’s not the first time either. However, mustaches are so stupidly hilarious. You could buy one and hang it on a string.
@ChazMaz Hey, as long as everybody’s free to wear sunshine :) Love that song. And column.
Oh my! I wasn’t aware my grandmother was posing for pictures in her spare time.
Yuur grandmother is turning me on!
You people really don’t “get” art do you?
you can mix some dog turds with pigeon guano and boiled broccoli (not sure which of the three is worse) and smear it all over the poster
having disobediently clicked on your link, it could only be an improvement…
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK!
BURN IT! BURN IT NOW!
