Re: Flamingos in the Park
Plastic flamingos are often used as a symbol of kitsch, bad taste and cheapness. The movie Pink Flamingos is named after them and helped them become an icon of trash and kitsch. Some charities use plastic flamingos as fund-raisers. You pick a target, usually a friend or a local celebrity, fill his or her yard with plastic flamingos, and urge them to contribute to the charity and then place the flamingos and charity message on someone else's yard.

Re: Flamingos in the Park
Those are Arctic Flamingos (Pinkus birdus brassbollocus). They hibernate at latitudes below the Arctic Circle. > On 9 Feb 2023, at 21:55, Rick Womer wrote: > > It’s been an unusually warm winter in Philadelphia, but it was still > surprising to find flamingos in the park across the street. > > They must have been unwell, because they were smooth and shiny and didn’t > move. > > https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2023/February-2023/Feb-miscellany/i-f58Df2c/A -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Flamingos in the Park
It’s been an unusually warm winter in Philadelphia, but it was still surprising to find flamingos in the park across the street. They must have been unwell, because they were smooth and shiny and didn’t move. https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2023/February-2023/Feb-miscellany/i-f58Df2c/A Rick -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
