I recently found out that the company that originally made pink lawn flamingos has gone out of business, so I really need to complete this goal before they disappear forever! (Sure, there are knock-offs out there, but if I’m going to do kitsch, I’m going to do it right, and I want the original Featherstone flamingo from Union Products.)
I’ve already got just the spot picked out for my flamingo-to-be, in a shady corner of my backyard garden where he can crack me up without thoroughly embarrassing me at the same time.
Side note: the Featherstone flamingo is celebrating its 50th birthday in 2007, and there will be gold-colored special-issue flamingos to mark the occasion! I’ll stick with pink, though.
