This is a gift you get someone you hate. Why are you gifting someone you despise? That's not for me to answer. All I'm saying is that I've got a line on the "what" and "where" portion of this question. My sister-in-law and I spotted this at a Fred Meyer in Portland, Oregon. Giant, metallic flip-flops with a golden sheen. What in the fuck? We surmised that someone might purchase this for beach house, in a kitschy ode to summer. Who would hang this piece of "art" in his or her home? I want to meet this person - and heckle him/her for possessing incredibly bad taste. In a turn of complete irony and hypocrisy - I would stay at a hotel or motel sporting this wall eyesore. Bad taste can often begat a good sense of humor.
