Flying Monkey Pinatas

Pulp Parlour Makes Bizarre Custom Pinatas for All Occasions

— June 28, 2011 — Unique
Pulp Parlour is a Connecticut-based business that specializes in making awesomely outrageous pinatas. Pulp Parlour's pinatas are handmade to order, which means that they're often a lot stranger than the ones you would find in your local grocery store.

When I say strange, I am talking flying-monkeys-from-The-Wizard-of-Oz strange. Each pinata takes about four to six weeks to make, and each one can hold about 10 pounds of treats. Of course, when your pinata looks this cool, you might not want to break it. Pulp Parlour understands this, and also makes pinatas as art pieces if requested.

You can check out a few of Pulp Parlour's creations here. Next time you plan a The Wizard of Oz cosplay night, you know who to call.
