Just as everyone has a Doctor Who so with Popes. Mine are respectively Tom Baker and John Paul II. So I can't get used to seeing this hollow-eyed munchkin steppin' out. Such is life. Not to be put off though I have endeavoured to celebrate the Papal visit with a classic DM desk ornament - the Pope-Pourri. Fifty have been posted and I will be hand-deliverin' some more tomorrow as His Holiness sails into the harbour. Check out those shoes. This guy knows about style. I am not a Catholic but I did once achieve an accidental audience with JP II in a minor Rome airport whilst awaiting a flight back to the UK. Sitting atop a suitcase, chomping on a Marlborough Light (me, not the Pope)a seamless entourage of men in black bristled along a laid red carpet 3 metres ahead of me. A sudden parting of the human cloak revealed the Pope who waved and smiled and then he was gone. Amazing!
The Pope-Pourri comes in two parts and you fill the conical head with the sweet-smelling wooden chips and place neatly in the Papal body. Oooh, he smells gorgeous!If you'd like one text me on 0405 593123 and I'll put one in the post. CHECK OUT www.alipellatt.com for more photos and while yer at it commission me to come up with some ideas for you!
