gilding a sow's ear, so to speak.

Is this actually Gold?

I got a "golden" Lomography camera. It is chromed and then got a transparent orange varnish, the typical way to make cheap gold-effects.

Even a pig has more honor than this.

I'm sure it's like yours AgX, cheap fake gold paint or something. Someone finally owned up to having one! I hope you bought a bling "gold" chain strap for your too. No shame, I want one badly myself. I also want one of those black velvet paintings of Jesus (or Elvis, either one will do) w/ the working clock built into it, but since we moved from the Southwest I can't find any.

Pigs are very smart creatures. Don't eat them!

I kind of like it. It's a neat example of the whole Lomography(tm) concept - cheap, shitty cameras sold at eye-watering prices.

I have a gold Holga. It's called the Hollywood Holga. It's only plastic paint, but I like mine. What's not honorable about a Holga? Or a pig, for that matter.

You can polish a turd, but it's still a turd Isn't that the saying?

 

[John Koehrer]

Not a bad deal. The description says "solid gold" camera. Wonder if it's heavy.

Beautiful analogy - Perfect

OK people first of all - don't mix Diana and Holga ! Second - gold or silver or black plastic or pink edition - all is nice and good .
I just got myself Holga again - been using Diana lately , but I need flash in this winter days, and Holga with flash is cheaper than flash for Diana.

Is the camera for the 2 percenters that want to be creative? Here's a $68 Louie Vutton condom. As a photographer and a guy, the stock version and the expensive version shoots the same
