The Irrepressible Pink Flamingo

Nothing says cute and tacky like the vintage pink flamingo yard ornaments.....and I want a pair for my yard! They may be gaudy pink, tacky and plastic, but they are an icon. The pink flamingo was all the rage in the 1950's and no respectable front yard was without a pair.

However, the rage didn't stop at the front yard, the pink flamingo began showing up on dishes, mugs, shirts, ashtrays, clocks, lamps, and all manner of knik-knaks. I'm a true fan of this beautiful bird in all it's forms, even the cheap plastic ones. LOL

I think every respectable yard should still boast a pair of these little wonders...even if it's just to say, "Hi, I'm here and I'm fun!"

I hope you enjoyed your tour of my own little gallery of Irrepressible Pink Flamingos.
