A Set Designer Sent from Heaven

This morning Pinky awoke to a honking car horn in his rural driveway. As he hurriedly tried to get his pants on and cover his tattoos, a short round woman with a huge beehive hair-do stepped out of the Monte Carlo with a box that could only have been containing a huge wedding cake. It was not a huge wedding cake, however. Miss Alma Bacon, set designer to the stars, had arrived all the way from Cleburne, Texas with the first maquette of many she plans on designing for Pinky's opera, The Zoo Keeper's Lament. (It came complete with miniature spot lights, too!) Can't you just imagine the miniature hippo resting on this golden hay pile serenading the barn rats?! Pinky about wet his pants.

See Pinky in the Flesh


















Thursday, May 22, is a rare opportunity to see Pinky D in the flesh. From 5:30-9:30 PM at Gray Matters Gallery, 113 N. Haskell Ave in Dallas, TX, Pinky and Miss Love will be hosting a gala art exhibition benefiting Pinky's zoo keeper association and rhino conservation. Required donation of $5. Free beer while it lasts. Animal fabric art by the Tom and Judy Show. Watercolors galore by Pinky himself, and photos by Ken Craft of Pinky as Darwin. (Hey you GilmerMetcalves, this sounds like a roadtrip! Bring the band and a bag of kazoos and serenade the zoo keepers of America.)
