Uh-oh...

I hope they didn't run the one where I have that awful teal veil I borrowed from my wife. Teal is *so* not my color...

I thought the same--a prop. Cheeks aren't right at all. Action cavity height is totally wrong. And the logo's totally wrong. Also, near as I can tell, that thing has no plate. If it had one, we'd see light reflecting off those gold bars. My guess is it's a styrofoam mock-up.

Looks like a work by "I hate edges" designer Colani.

She does look a little absynthe minded.

I painted a huge oil on canvas copy of Van Gogh's "Cafe Terrace" and put him (ear all bandaged) and myself at the nearest foreground table, with a bottle of absynthe between us and his severed ear laid on the table where the light from that yellow lamp shines through the green liquid across it. I named the thing "Abysnthe Maketh the Heart Grow Fonder".
