Peace Be Upon Sunny Ali Toy Piano

I was recently in Greenpoint, Brooklyn shooting a video for the Polish Saturday school I used to go to when I discovered a dollar store that happened to be having a clearance sale. I discovered this electronic toy piano and got an amazing deal on it.

Upon purchasing it, I immediately thought of my favorite Philadelphia musician, Mr. Sunny Ali of Sunny Ali & the Kid (www.sunnyaliandthekid.com).

The functions on this piano turned out to be quite advanced for a dollar store find, so I decided it needed to be custom bedazzled immediately:




Only the owner of this piano needs to know what these magical jeweled buttons do:

Dickfish Watergun

Was browsing the dollar section of the local Target when I came upon a fish-shaped water gun. Naturally, it needed to turn into a bedazzled fish-shaped water gun that vaguely resembled male genitalia inflicted with pimples and sores:

Disco Poodle

My boyfriend was in a thrift store one day where he found a broken (and glued back together) poodle wall ornament that was reminiscent of the cherub wall ornaments I previously bedazzled (http://fineitsart.blogspot.com/2012/01/merryxmas-intestine-babies_01.html).

Being the swell guy that he is, he purchased this rare gem for me and this is how it ended up:



The pink disco ball came from a pair of disco ball sunglasses that unfortunately/fortunately broke:



Disco Poodle currently hangs in my bedroom until I find a good home for him.
