(CNN) Happy birthday, Lady Liberty! <\/p>\n
The Statue of Liberty turns 128 on Tuesday, and shes never looked better. Still tall and regal, you may overlook this American icon because shes been around for so long. But this lady is very hip! <\/p>\n
Here are reasons why: <\/p>\n
1. Shes on her #selfie game <\/p>\n
Head on over to the Crown Cam to check out this hot statue selfie. Its just one of a few cameras set up at EarthCam.com to capture the action on Ellis Island. <\/p>\n
2. The hip-hop crowd loves her <\/p>\n
Want some street cred? Throw a line in your rap song about La Liberty, and its all good. From Jay Zs Empire State of Mind (Statue of Liberty, long live the World Trade) to Ludacris Undisputed (So put ya fist up, even the Statue of Liberty lit a flame for the way that I lit my wrist up), she is hailed. <\/p>\n
3. She celebrates holidays <\/p>\n
The Statue of Liberty will reportedly do some crossdressing for Halloween. <\/p>\n
Designer Nick Graham has said he will outfit her in a few bow ties to celebrate both the holiday and the launch of his new menswear line. The 60-foot, 35-pound bow ties wont actually be draped around the statue but will be flown near it using helicopters for a quick photo op. <\/p>\n
