He's finally fully painted and DONE! Flying the sign du jour and
a couple of those TEMU rubber chickens which I may make into
earrings instead.

Otherwise, I'm washing my hands of this one. He sent his first
postcard to his former handlers last night. It was only a
headshot w/chickens to begin with. They may have not recognized
their former pig .... yet.

From a friend. They probably won't press charges...

It's porcelain, but partially hollow. It weighs about 25-28lbs.

No trolling, please. Jill won't like it that you are trolling.

Built in Crewe from 1959-68, the Rolls-Royce Phantom V. was a vehicle for a certain type of customer: The Queen and Queen Mother, Elton John’s pink number, Imelda Marcos, the Shah of Iran and even Tito.

One Nicolae Ceaușescu bought a ‘67 example but returned it after being frowned upon by the Politburo.

Probably the two most famous examples of this Roller owned by Elvis and John Lennon.

The American’s was originally painted Midnight Blue. On visiting his mother, Elvis found the free-roaming chickens pecking the paintwork which he then had resprayed silver. The King’s car came with air conditioning, telephone and, being the entertainer, a microphone. The rear armrest contained mirror, clothes brush and writing pad.

The Beatle’s was a Mulliner Park Ward bodied V, originally black. Lennon asked for a black radiator; Crewe refused.

The car was furnished with cocktail cabinet, seven piece his n’ hers leather luggage set and portable TV. When purchased, Lennon hadn’t passed his driving test, instead being chauffeured around. Later additions included rear seats that converted to a double bed, telephone, cassette deck and floating record player – for an additional £2,000. This car became the sixties icon after its use in the film “How I Won The War.” Lennon commissioned fellow coachbuilder’s JP Fallon Ltd to create a Romany Gypsy Wagon with artist Steve Walker applying the colourful swirls.

I'd say you rescued it from dying of neglect in the friends' garage. ;)

Boy, they really fucked up that paint job. And no sign.

I'm pretty convinced these are some sort of clay/sculpture 101 art
project in some school in France. Because they're all slightly
different, yet the same. Most are un-painted though (that wasn't
part of the assignment.

[I meant to say "ceramic" rather than porcelain in a previous
post. I had "porcine" on my brain].
