...in pushing the limits of good taste/bad taste through the medium of resin statuary:

In the mailbox today, I found the new catalog, and -somebody PLEASE post that cover!!!-I gasped:

"AN ISLAND WELCOME FROM OUR GARDEN PYGMIES!"
"See our c'IBO-ODO' (a name that shall henceforth live in infamy, ed.), the Garden Pygmy!"
"Your neighbours will hear the rythm of the tribal drums!"

Imagine New Guinea masks, with lil'munchkin bodies, spears in hand...NEVER in the most absurd examples did 50s Polynesian Pop go this far....TOO far if you ask me!

Maybe this text from the catalogue will be more telling:

"The artist's fertile imagination has these delightful, troll-like caricatures, with bright thongs, dimpled cheeks and pudgy 4-fingered hands, standing ready to chuck their spears at trespassers. Our quality designer resin, fully painted home or garden works of art are way more fun than being boiled in oil!"

HA HA...HA...ha...ha
