A new low for tat?

Spotted in a jewellers on Oxford Street:

A pewter statuette...

...of a dragon...

...wearing leathers...

...and aviator sunglasses...

...on a chopped motorcycle....

...with crystal wheels.

I'm not sure if it's possible to make it any tackier...

I think I speak for everyone when I say I am SO glad you didn't accompany that with a photo.

Maybe it's an anti-theft device, to put people off smashing the window by scaring them away.

No rainbows?

Rainbow crystals as the wheels...

As ciphergoth said ...

... a rainbow

plus

A unicorn (in pastel colours) in the sidecar, carrying a teddybear, which is cuddling a kitten. The unicorn is wearing a Charlie's Angels retro t-shirt and a peace emblem necklace.

... and the motorcycle has a bumper sticker (sure, why not) which says "Honk if you love Bilbo" and "my other bike is a landspeeder".

And the whole thing is inside a sparkly snowglobe ... that plays music! Probably "The Rainbow Connection" from the Muppet Movie ... as arranged by Liberace!

Well the crystals wheels were rainbow crystals...

I'm almost surprised it doesn't have a dolphin as a passenger.

I recall some idiot trying to see "authentic" dreamcatchers with dolphins on. Guess you'd see a lot of those when crossing the plains with your tribe.

it *could* be tackier
- real handstitched leathers
- a 'handpainted' flower fairy riding pillion
- lines of wizard hats and knight's shields on the petrol tank with crosses through...

giggle. I myself was hoping for a photo!

Phlosque!

a dragon...

...wearing leathers...

...and aviator sunglasses...

So? ;-)

You have no idea how glad I am...

[the-ogre.livejournal.com]

...that you refrained from posting a picture of that. *Whew*.

Only if the dragon had a unicorn riding "bitch" on the back.

It's like a dictionary definition of "kitsch" or something! Almost to Terry Pratchett-like levels of parody!
