Ceramic bald Lionel Richie bust wanted
Date: 2010-02-01, 9:40AM CST
I am looking for a replica of the bust made in the Lionel Richie "Hello" video.
However I'd like it to be bald as I intend to recreate that lovable fromullet with some sort of cream cheese dip at parties. Not that I have many parties, but if I had this, I might start. I'd like it to be maybe about a foot tall.
It really has to look like that bust (which oddly enough doesn't look like Lionel Richie at all) or it won't be worth it. Hopefully it can be the same orangish-brown matte finish that is in the video but I understand making it safe for a cheesy-afro might lead to some compromises.
Please email me with a bid including a breakdown the cost of supplies and labor. I can also exchange for computer repair (mac/pc, virus/malware repair, etc) or maybe a 12" G4 iBook,
Thank you to Curtis for informing me that terracotta would not be a good choice for a food-safe sculpture.

Hahahaha....Two Dogs F**king is one of my favorite jokes of all time.
ReplyDeleteOk, I think this is an excellent idea. I absolutely love entertaining and get ultra excited in the party platter/serving dish section. I can't even imagine what I could do with Lionel's head. Party on.
I would think the labor and materials for this project (if done right) would be worth more than a 5 year-old iBook.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your Chia Ritchie, dude.
He wants to serve head cheese at parties. How classy. Martha Stewart needs to meet this guy.
ReplyDeleteI want the real sculpture. I'm serious.
ReplyDeletelefty, I think a six-year-old computer for the bust in a twenty-six-year-old song is a fair trade.
ReplyDeleteCary, I'll bet you could find one. The girl in the video was blind and I'm sure she knocked a bunch of those busts off table a few times, so they had to have had extras.
HA! I wonder what ever happened to the real one. It would have been hard to predict that it might be worth something to someone in the future when that video first came out. The idea of dipping a chip into Lionel's hair doesn't sound very appetizing to me. :D
ReplyDeleteNot for dip, Daisy, I agree. Maybe broccoli florets. That'd be a better match anyway.
ReplyDeleteNot that I would eat them.
