 Hot!Hot!Hot! Pink Flamingos!
Pink flamingos are the ultimate in lawn adornment. Love them or hate them, pink flamingos can give any home a little tropical elegance. In 1956, Union Products of Leominster, Massachusetts hired a serious sculptor and classical art student named Don Featherstone. One of his first projects was to create a 3-D flamingo. Since live flamingos were not available, Don designed his iconic bird from National Geographic photographs. The original flamingos sported detailed wooden legs but proved too costly and were replaced with metal legs. The 1950s was perfect timing for the pink flamingo. America was moving to the suburbs with new lawns that needed ornamentation. People were also becoming more mobile, traveling to hotels and motels named after this flamboyant flamingo. It was also a time of bright, bold colors with hot pink a most popular color for everything from appliances to Cadillacs. Today, the company sells over a million flamingos per year. Authentic flamingos always have Don Featherstone’s signature under their tails. Each has a yellow beak with a black tip and they are only sold in pairs. Tacky or whimsical, a yard full of hot pink flamingos is always guaranteed to bring a smile.

Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this my marriage life was very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Leave a Reply. |
