COnfessions of a MAD Antique Dealer

\yoU CAN SEE MY FREIND fRANK FROM bUDAPEST GETTING EATING BY THE SAME hIPPO THAT TRIED TO EAT ME. i GUESS HE LIKES hUNGARIANS... The other two people....the girl with the magenta hair.. and the guy withe the tatoos....came into the store to browse....she is a photographer and wanted to buy props, but it was above budget, so they want to come back and use the props here in the store for a photo shoot..and I agreed.  I was going to dye my hair  the same color, but then I remembered I HAD NO  HAIR...so I canned that Idea.... Frank and his friend from BUDAPEST.."Ferri" which is Frank in Hungarian.....are in the city today looking to buy modern Hungarian art.....I had two pics of what they bought un in CAPE COD, but like a flying anus, I delelted them accidently.......( I was so tired before, I didnt know what I was doing, and had to lay down and take a nap...and I NEVER TAKE A NAP)

The store was very active today, business was good, and I gave a senior citizen super discount to a lady, who needed something..and couldnt affford it...so, I figured, just do a good deed.....and reinvest in something else..and get some brownie karma  points...She better not live in a 40 room mansion....hmmmmm, I will be pissed...and if there is a ROLLS ROYCE in her driveway, it better not be hers.....I might just have to steal her hup caps....and pu t    them on EBAY. All kidding aside, I think senior citizens shoul dget discounts  when possible...especially, I think retired people should get much lower rates on their city taxes, and not have to pay school taxes anymore...damn, unless great grandma is going to have wild sex, get pregnant and live near the school....she had paid enough in all her life....Now she wouldnt have to worry about loosing her house for back taxes, or having to move away form the house she loves..beucas ethe city got to friggen fancy.....and raised taxes much to high.  I just got a call from a LADY in IOWA, who owns a big hosue from 1840 in the historic district of DUBUQUE...... and she pays only 800 dolalrs a year...Now I wonder what we get that she doesn get....when the taxes here for the same house would be 10-14000 in bergen country.  They have roads, and schools, and water is extra here....and sewer is extra here.....and they have to have more snow removal than we do....what are we getting for the money?? CAN someone please tell me?..

Pink Flamingoes was the name of a MOIVE...starring a creature called DIVINE.. Divine was a man....who dressed like a woman, who was a fat yenta, who wore too tight clothing made from floral upholstery fabric, and wore over exxaggerated 1950's glasses...that came to a point and other odd shapes like butterflies...The movie got is ame from the over popular MIAMI based collectibles...from the 1950's when people put plastic and cement...and wooden pink flamingos on their lawns.....then they BIRDS were made into ICONS.....they  were mass produced in mirrors,salt and pepper shakers, figurines, prints, paintings, jewelry, printied on dishes and glasses..and finally, became a wild collectible, when the real ones, were no longer in fashion to be used as serious decoration..(yes they were taken seriously)....and when the collectors got hold of them, it was becasue they were kitch and campy..... Well, the photo above is from MALCOM and FRANKS yard....which has a trememndous amount of flamingos of all sizes and materials...I jus tmight do a special on them on my website so I can take dozens of pix of them.....Their yard is filled with them, and I sincerely hope that they think that they are kitch and kampy , which they are..They have some great ones.....and fun ones, .....and they really make the property....very happy looking aroudn the  pool an even in the garden between the tomatoes,corn, green peppers, coriander, mint , sqaush, and other wonderful things growing...
