The Swine Flew – Prudential Pig Day
By Marilyn Newman
Not to make light of the recent A(H1N1) pandemic that has hit globally, or of the individuals who have been effected most, Prudential Vallarta wanted to bring a bit of relief to the otherwise serious perspective we are all experiencing at the moment by declaring Wednesday, May 27, as Prudential Pig Day.
Prudential agents were asked to create their own version of what a pig (a.k.a. swine) would look like in a perfect world, to be presented at their weekly office meeting. Everyone was told, “You must wear pink or black (black for mourning of the inhuman killings of the pigs in Egypt) and (Pink for hope of better times to come).”
A fertile mind can sometimes be a scary thing. The entries donned such names as: Swine Lake, a pink jewel-studded pig in satin ballet flats created by Mary Palomino, and The Swine Flew, a winged porcine fashioned by Marilyn Newman; Nicole Martin festooned her ceramic pig in gun-metal gray with a hygiene mask, three little piggy offspring, mini soda and cell phone, and there was even a Pork n’ Beans (should be self explanatory) which Luis Munozcano submitted. After much consideration however, the ultimate winner was… Porker Oats, created by Joan Gil.
The Winers Joan and Eduardo Gil
All entries will be on limited display at the Prudential office for anyone wishing to stop by and see these formidable creations for themselves.
