Postcard From the Countryside – No Pain No Gain

Penzi (renamed) is a McDonald’s keyholder teddy that doubles up as a pincushion in the Naytches fashion studio.

Every day, he’s stabbed with all those pins. He takes it to make sure none gets missing or finds its way on the floor to hurt someone.

Every day, though, that smile, written in permanent ink, resides on his face.

There’s a pain in the process, but the end results in gain that brings pleasure.
