Hornbrella
make someone smile with an umbrella that likes updrafts | |
Unless you have a Gustbuster type
umbrella, with a double skin, the chances
are that it will been inside out, and
wrecked on encountering the first change
of direction of the wind on a stormy day.
The Hornbrella waits in quiet anticipation
for such a day, for it has a set of features
that
take full advantage of this type of
wind.
When the wind catches the Hornbrella
from
below, it causes two horns to shoot up
using the chimney effect from the
updraft.
Simultaneously a pair of rectangular flaps
also flick open, under which are
concealed
two cat's eyes.
Note: Horns can be fitted with sound
reeds so that they blow out a little duet
of surprise when caught by the wind.

I guess another model could be Marilyn's legs. |

Froggy eyes and a croak - yes - that is
most acceptable, and so are the Marilyn
legs. There is also a "snail" option to be
considered. |
