ALIENS....PUMPKINS, and DINOSAURS......Part three.....

By now, my own bodily, part, and function of, err : Salivating, had kicked in.
The Museum had ended, and now for THE SHOP, at which point my husband and soulmate, was getting a bit worried.
For some of Giger`s work is for sale....
But, fear not, perhaps after winning el Big Swiss Lotto, with mucho Francs, put nicely, into a Nnnnn-Numbered account....but,
until then...(?)
A cool GIGER POSTER was Plenty to be happy with, by me :)
Of course, there are Giger Designed Watches, it is "Switzerland", after all...?

But, these are on a wall, in the Museum, as was a - and I joke with you not - "BAMBI ALIEN SCULPTURE", made in Aluminium, in 1993, by Giger, enclosed in a glass case..
Now, that one, I would have much preferred to have taken home with us, than a "Paint-your-Own" Calf..!
Does that make me: Dark and Macabre....mmmm...?

Anyhow.

Dear, Mr./Herr, Giger,

I would like to say that your Museum Shop in Gruyeres, is in desperate need of some RE-STOCKING !
Virtually none of the Posters were in stock.  There was only a sum total of 5 T-shirts, and Sweatshirts hanging, lonely-li, on a rack in the corner.
Though there were Calendars from 2008.
There was no edition of a 2011 GIGER CALENDAR to be found.
Now that would have been, an even more prized purchase, than a poster for us, my husband, and myself; "mere" visitors.

Finally, with all DUE RESPECT, WHY, oh why, was there a Hurdy-Gurdy of really Arb, and Naff, "Cheapi-Trashie-err-Touristy-Imaged" postcards for sale, even in your shop ?!  What on earth, or in space, do they have to do with your ART ?!

Sorry, and Entschuldigung, Simply do not understand this...

The depth of disappointment, and sheer weirdness of this part of the whole experience, felt like a balloon with the air draining out of it...
The shop was full, FULL of other "FANS", full of a speeded kind of desperation, as we all looked in an almost frenzied, frantic, way.... For something.
Something "worthy", to take home, with us, and back to all directions of the Constellations...

And so, we move quickly to your BAR, for some Consolation, and to breathe some air back into that balloon, of the "real-thing".

Only The Best of Regards, Herr Giger.
Yours, CFC.
