Garden Of The Magnificent Mile: Chicks 4-6

Here are the last of the chick pics I have from the display gardens of the Magnificent Mile, "where style blooms" this summer.  This time you get 3 for the price of one.  

I found that these chicks being fully clothed made them quite boring.  Does that make me a freak?

This is another one of the cool chicks being displayed in the Gardens of the Magnificent  Mile this summer.  Her dress (can you really call this a dress?) is made mostly from bottle caps.  OUCH! 

It's called "Recap".

The Gardens Of The Magnificent Mile: Chick #1

2008_0823image0041

If you've ever been to Chicago you know that Michigan Avenue, specifically The Magnificent Mile, has beautiful gardens just about all the time.  And if you are lucky to be shopping when they are changing gardens at the end of the tulip season, they'll even give away the tulips as they rip them out. 

Yesterday while walking to an appointment on Michigan Ave. I noticed the current garden displays featured in The Gardens of Magnificent Mile.  It's chicks dressed in funny/interesting/weird stuff sitting right in the middle of the gardens!  It's funky and I love funky.

They are sponsored by businesses and I think you can even bid on them if you like.  I wonder what it would cost me to have one of these chicks sitting in the middle of my garden.  I also wondered what it would cost me to set one of these up with a card sponsored by My Skinny Garden.  Now that's my kind of blog advertising!

Here's the first one I ran across, which also turned out to be my favorite.  Can you guess why?  It's called God's Creation and it's from Moore Landscapes.

The theme is "Where Fashion Blooms".  Catchy, or Corny?
