can be said about Sid-he was a flunky, a drunky,
and a junkie whose underwear was always FUNKY! Since Sid's untimely
demise by a heroin overdose in 1979, his legacy has grown to legendary
status! He has become the ultimate Punk Rock icon. He's better known
now and more appreciated in death than he ever was in life- kind
of like Jesus Christ ( hemmm , makes you think, don't it?!). Now
if you are a true Punk , this klock is bound to get your "Chinese"
rocks off! On the klock face is the unmistakable classic image of
a defiant, sneering Sid! This picture was one of the most popular
off-stage photos taken of Sid. His facial expression says it all
, don't it! As we all know, Sidney's personal hygiene was basically
none existent, I bet Sid had a skid mark in his undies that you
could land the Space Shuttle on! His complexion usually resembled
a pepperoni pizza with black olives and extra cheese! He could have
been the poster boy for Clearasil! To pay tribute to this, I hand
apply red glitter zits to accentuate his acne! Now in the right
light these zits shimmer and they give off the illusion that these
festering' pus filled pimples are gonna pop all over the place!
Yechhhhh! Those who partied with Sid , will tell you he would snort
just about anything that was put under his nose. This being the
case his nose was constantly dripping with thick mucous and choked-
full with big, green boogers! So taking this fact into account,
I hand paint a big green glitter booger dripping out of Sid's nose
onto his upper lip-what could be a more fitting tribute to Sid's
Sinuses! It's funny, when people view this klock in person they
will almost always wipe under their own nose with their finger without
thinking- I guess gazing at all that glitter goober sparks some
kind of inborn "booger in view" phobia! I always make
sure I keep a box of tissues near this klock for this very reason-
I don't want anyone (except Britanny Spears!) to wipe a freshly
exhumed booger on my apartment wall! Zits-n-boogers aside, let me
now take your attention to the background of Sid's Klock. It is
a classic leopard skin pattern that was modeled directly off of
one of Sid's vests that he is seen wearing in many promo pics of
the day-the details on this klock are amazing! Now take a look at
the kustom made klock hands- The hour hand is a replica of Sid's
famous Fender Bass, the very bass he smashed over the head of a
audience member during a show of the ill fated U.S.A. Sex Pistols
tour! The minute hand resembles a crusty well-used hypodermic needle,
yep kids, Sid was a junkie before it was the "hip" and
"trendy" thing to be- Sid was a junkie punk who was way
ahead of his time! Now while designing this klock I knew I had to
have Sid's love, and punk rock groupie extraordinaire Nancy Spungen
on it somewhere. So if you look in the very center of the second
hand you'll spot a little Nancy head that revolves around and nags
Sid 24 hours a day! Sid was defiantly an over the top personality
so I decided to go nuts and make this timeless tribute to him WAY
over the top 'cause ain't that what punk is about anyway?! Surrounding
the outside of the top and sides of this klock is genuine imitation
Sid Vicious Spikey hair, you can comb it, spike it, glue dead flies
to it, be creative- this gives you a chance to interact with your
Sid klock! Now for the grand finale, hanging below Sid, outside
of the klock, is Sids trademark necklace-a real dog chain and metal
pad lock! UNREAL! This is more than just a Klock- its a work of
punk art, a "MY WAY" tribute to St. Sid and his legacy.
This treasure is to be past down through the ages! |
