Lego Minifigures 23: "Hip Hop"

My son calls this figure his "DJ"; Lego call it a "Rapper"; I'm calling the painting "Hip Hop". He's clearly old-skool, what with his goldie lookin' chain and cassette ghetto blaster. I'm not so sure about the shutter shades - they might be 80s vintage, but I got the impression that they were a new wave thing back then. Now, of course, I am reliably informed that Kanye West has been spotted wearing them. Hence the hip hop credentials. As for the amount of gold in this figure's painted-on mouth - well, it makes me shudder and recall Pam Ayres' most famous poem.

All that bling, however, gave me another opportunity to use some of that pearlescent tinting stuff noted in Lego 22.
