Grove of a rocks

The Flamingo Flat

(not also the name of a hairstyle yet)

I moved into a new flat, and they had a flamingo.

The flamingo's name was Gay Gavin, and when I asked about his family history I was told that his parents work at Payless Plastics.

First I made a blue jean collar for him and stitched in "Gavin". Then a week later under the instructions to "make him look cool but not obviously gay or the other flamingos will beat him up" I made him a hoodie jacket, because hoodies are cool.


Some might say that wearing pink breaks the rules of making him not look gay, but then I figure it's the flamingo equivalent to tan.

It's coming into Autumn here in New Zealand. If you've got an idea for Gavin's winter warddrobe then please do share! (but keep in mind the above guidelines).

If you're considering sending in some ideas then you should know that he doesn't have any feet (just stumps, to push into the ground), and his wings are cast as part of his body. Thanks!

I have an awesome opportunity for Gavin to become famous! I am looking for a flamingo with a great sense of humor to take part in a photoshoot in Australia in early Oct. Gavin will be treated with the up most respect and will get to hang out with models and have his own makeup artist. What more could a gay flamingo want! His friends would no longer ridicule him as he would be a star. Please contact me if you are interested...

Dear Mary-Ann Nicholls,

As you're no doubt aware Joe Grasso from Joe Grasso Creative Management is one of this countries greatest exports, having picked up accolades from his peers and a pinstripe suit. Via flyers he's invited to public speaking engagements and takes an active role in guiding our city to it's fullest potential, northward. We respect that you're a busy woman Mary-Ann and that Ezi-Buy is a respected publication of clothes, and as such we'd like to keep this email brief; to the point; punchy. Joe Grasso manages many clients including Gavin "dynamite" Flamingo and his new enterprise "Sack Shoes Streetwear" made by hobo workers paid in stock options and longbeans. I would be more than happy to arrange an email meeting between Joe Grasso and your model manager person but last time I was happy I started bubbling from my neck hole and spitting biscuits so they've got me on these red-striped pills and thorazine because I'm no good to anyone if I don't think about projecting the principles of Joe Grasso Creative Management rather than Tim-Tams. With this in mind, we can provide a quality product for your modeling needs. Gavin is available for fashion shoots and Joe to paint your deck. Do you need references because Joe says Ned can vouch for him. And what kind of money are we talking about here? Joe says he knows people in the modelling industry so if you need cameras or hobo workers just say the word! I look forward to our collaborative business relationship! This is great! Bubble bubble!

Kind regards,

Bonita
