At the moment the adverts for go compare car insurance feature the fictional character Gio Compario which have been voted "most irritating advertisement". You know what they say - no publicity is bad publicity! The character is actually played by Welsh tenor Wynne Evans who is a very talented and amazing guy (not that you can tell that from the adverts).It's amazing how much I learn each time I make a piñata!
As the adverts are very annoying, in fact as I'm writing this I have the theme tune from them stuck in my head which I'm seriously going to have to banish by listening to something else as soon as I've finished this post!
This piñata was part of pinatafest. The biggest piñata bash in the UK on
the 3rd of August, with bands, burlesque and a magician. It was a very
unusual event but it went down really well with everyone who came. We
had people from all over the country, I not only spoke to people from
local cities such as manchester and Sheffield, there were people there
from London, Liverpool, chesterfield, all over! It was an amazing event
that we'll be repeating next year! Although I think we'll chose a more
accessible location next time. The only complaints we had were about how
difficult it was to find the venue!And I did a lot of market research
(networking/chatting to random people). There will be more pictures and
information about the night to come! 
I did most of him the night before the event so he's a bit last minute. I think he's turned out pretty well considering, but I think he'd look better with a little more detail, including more of a flick to his hair!
We didn't end up smashing him up like we were meant to so at the moment he's in storage. I'm not quite sure what to do with him but if I don't think of anything by next year I'm sure he'll be a welcome addition to Pinatafest 2014!
