Retsy Series 1 · Card 1135 · 10-MEM
One leg up. Lean way back. Hold it.
Posing for photos on one leg while leaning impossibly far backward, like a flamingo caught in a strong breeze.
The story · 2013
It started with one goofy vacation photo and spread to every school picture, wedding and diner booth. Lift one leg, tilt way back, arms out like wings. Bonus points for doing it somewhere unexpected, like a pumpkin patch or a museum lobby. Group shots of twenty flamingos became a yearbook staple.
The record for the longest flamingo lean belonged to a gym teacher who held it through an entire school assembly.
Six finishes
The Flamingo Lean comes in six finishes: 100 Base, 50 Holo, 25 Laser and 10 Gold copies, plus one Super Laser and one Misprint that exist exactly once. Every copy is minted to the wallet that rips it, with its own serial number.
