Garden Kitsch

Yes, it is April Fools Day, but the plastic pink flamingo is no joke! Created in 1957 as many families, including Betty's, moved to the suburbs, this garden accessory became all the rage. Even Betty couldn't resist. If you have a fondness for all things pink and plastic, but don't want to display your love for kitsch on your front lawn, than plant-sized flamingos are for you! At www.perpetualkid.com you can get your very own mini pink flamingo. As if that weren't enough, they also sell a mini version of the lawn gnome, fawn and jockey. So give in to your desires - your neighbors will never have to know!
