Union Products, the company that produced pink lawn flamingos for nearly 50 years, closed its doors yesterday.
The kitsch icons swept Florida then the nation. Union Products made 250,000 of the patented flamingos annually. With these off the market, a huge void will be felt in the world of yard ornamentation - what will be next? (via ozoux) -regina
My understanding from the news a couple days ago was that another company was buying the molds in order to continue production.
They're so kitschy. I love them anyway. I do have a couple in my backyard under my orange tree - hidden from public view. They bring a laugh every time someone stops by.
Now those crazies who have that kind of stuff all over their front yard? I have no words.
