    Dig peeps- found this freaky Lass at the Junkatorium yesterday for 5 ducats (!!!) but before being hoodwinked by the Squares into parting with a parcel of skins I spied that this diminutive chicks ankles had been snapped off and glued back on-que' tragic !
    A Kreiss Psycho Ceramic Bearded Beatnik Chick- w/ a Leslie Caron 'Gigi' reference- frantically scarce man !
    This one was so weird I might've actually kept it. Guess I'll eat a few Miltowns and beat my head against my bongos for a few hours !

    Saw that Deb-only diff is the pedestal. It's one of the nuttiest MCM Boho things I've ever seen in my life-it could actually be in the 'scarce', maybe even 'rare' categories.I think the one you found had an offering price of $175 (not sure ?). Most Kreiss Psycho Ceramics seem to be $30-$60 ?
    The film 'Gigi' came out in '58, and Kreiss must've hatched this kooky concept soon after.
    Ah yes indeedy- the agony and the ecstasy of thrifting !
