We've all heard about casting pearls before swine. But what about casting them before chickens? Chickens in themselves are beautiful. And if they are washed and combed, wined and dined and then given little tiaras and necklaces as extra perks... well, then they are nearly irresistible! Here is a series from Peter Lippmann, shown to me by Wojtek Ziemilski (thank you!). Here is the link to the whole series http://peterlippmann.com/lippmann3/commissions/marie_claire_2/mc2_luxurychicks1_peterlippmann.html
but these are my favorites (notice the delicate little bejeweled butterflies!)
