here are my Christmas Flamingos, not a very good photo but the only one that turned out, and you can't see the little sleigh they are pulling, will have to try again next year.

here is a photo of "Ken" feeding one of his home-made cupcakes to one of the flamingos. As you can see this photo was taken in Autume, and a warm one it was too!

THINGS PINK!

"Designed for Union Products, by Don Featherstone, a serious sculptor and classical art student, the first plastic flamingo was "born" around 1957. In the 1960s this fake-feathered friend became the 'proto-type for bad taste and anti-nature.' By 1970 even Sears had removed it from its catalogue. "

In 1984, Miami Vice kicked the sales of pink flamingos into full throttle. For the first time ever Union Plastics sold more flamingo than they did ducks. Bans have been placed on the Pink Plastic Flamingo all over the united states, so people painted them blue". - Get Flocked

This famous bird continues to add colour to our lives all over the world...
