Well, I'm pretty sure you may have not heard of Don Featherstone, but I'm pretty sure you've seen pink plastic lawn flamingos. Those kitsch-tastic birds who have become the ultimate token of tackiness. Heck, John Waters even named a movie after them,
Pink Flamingos. Don Featherstone was the creator of the pink plastic flamingo shaped lawn ornaments and he recently
passed away at age 79 after battling a lengthy disease.
Our front garden. Pardon the weeds.
I don't remember how my pink flamingo fascination started, perhaps it's due my love of airstream trailors and everything that involves tackiness and kitsch. Like anything that starts off as a joke amongst friends, it has turned into full blown pink flamingo mania!

So, thank you Don for making this world that much more delightful with your pink plastic creations. I hope you rest in peace.
