King of Kings Statue burns










In today's emails I receive notice that the "King of Kings" Jesus Statue (also known as the "Touchdown Jesus" statue was struck by lighting last night and burned to the ground.   The statue and the area around it suffered approximately $700,000 in damages and thank God, no one was hurt.

I also understand that the church has already made a statement that it plans to rebuild the statue, which led me to contacting them, and offering our help.  The online articles have stated the original structure to have cost $250,000 and took over a year to build YIKES!!!!!!  Seriously?  Well,  I can say one thing is for sure,  we can certainly build that for less and a lot quicker (two months tops)!   We do not tote ourselves as the "King of HUGE" for nothing!  Simply reviewing this blog's history of oversized projects alone proves that!!!  Anyway,  I'm not looking to diss anyone, but I do hope that if the church is going to rebuild the famous and now even more famous statue, that they will award us the job.  If they do, you our fans and readers will certainly know about it!!!  Stay tuned!

One of our latest projects: Our Victoria's Secret PINK dog mirror balls make their appearance in this youtube video at 4:19 in. We made a total of 8 dogs at 3ft long each. We then scored the internet for pink glass tile suppliers and cleaned up everything out there. Yes folks, there are NO MORE pink glass tiles available. This was a great and challenging project to say the least, as there were the usual delays that happen when you take on not only a custom project, but a prestigious one as well. Everything had to be spot on to Victoria's Secret Pink Brand. The usual multitude of emails, texts and conference calls between our shop, the local production studio and the VS France office took place. Once we were off and running with our sculptures, we needed to find the pink glass mirror tiles and as mentioned above, there were not many out there and all needed to be special ordered and cut to our specifications. Those tiles then needed to be overnighted, or we would not b

Beard styles to chose from

So this is where you guys get to have some fun. Remember, the style with the most votes wins and I will hold on to that style for at least 1 month (maybe more, if I like it). But remember the rule is that you have to donate directly to Give Kids the World . They have a several easy ways for you to do so. One last thing... I am a publicly seen person in several places. I am also a member of my town's school board of education so, I WILL have to "sport" the look that gets the highest vote. To register your vote, simply make a comment on this post and the tally will be there for all to see. Now go. Go and donate whatever you can. As little or as much and don't forget to spread the word to all your social network friends! Thanks. Giovanni Calabrese This is what I used to look like before the beard! Man, I need a shave!
