As if the giant pink elephant that runs around Pink wasn’t enough, we now have a giant pink pig in tighty-whities invading NYC nightlife.
What will promotional agencies with access to full-body rental costumes think up next?
Last night at Todd English’s Juliet Supper Club in Chelsea, the pink pig landed. Naturally, crowds gathered and models (probably thrilled to be near a male who was a blatant outward, instead of hidden inward, pig) began to throw themselves at him. People lined up to take photos, while nightlife veterans like Mark Baker ushered the pig to his table, pouring glasses of champagne for the barnyard animal; all throughout the club one would’ve thought Brad Pitt or Leo DiCaprio was in the center of all this attention.
And you thought Halloween was over…
The 6-foot piggy, apparently named Skid Milton, is brand ambassador for cheapundies.com, a website that carries designer underwear, socks, pajamas, etc. at discounted prices.
Despite the fact that pigs don’t have thumbs or language ability, Skid Milton is hooked up to all forms of social media, meaning you friend him on Facebook (Skid Milton) or Twitter (@SkidMilton). Checking these outlets will tell you where he’ll be oinking next and code words to say to him to get prizes (I’m guessing, um, underwear?)
After a long week like this, I’m headed out tonight. Heck. Maybe I’ll see him.
