"Viva Las Vegas Pony" is a tribute to the Showgirl. No other icon epitomizes Las Vegas like the Showgirl, known for her incredibly elaborate, baroque but brief costumes, her ability to sing, dance and sashay across a stage in sky-high stilettos, while balancing a feathered headdress atop her head. The Showgirl is considered a piece of art or a human sculpture. Although Showgirl revues are slowly disappearing on The Strip, the Stockton, this California artist who paints under the name La Marr, wanted to take us on a ride through Las Vegas entertainment history. This pony has a white coat adorned with the ornate diagonals pearly saddle and a colorful bridle. This pony's "baroque but brief costume" includes leg covers of gold and royal blue vertical stripes with small red painted beads. The neck decoration is so intricate, with peach, brown, blue, bronze, gold, green and red jeweled patterns. The entire outfit is lined with small red and crystal beading. The headpiece is magnificent, with real white blue and red feathers Made of resin. Dimensions: 7.5"L x 2.5"W x 8.5"H
