a little offtopic, but do you guys make statues of other greek historical figures?
A lot of Alexs out there, but anything for Pericles? King Leonidas? Or the ancient gods?

Haha,that's great.We're neighbours then.
It's funny how sometimes we call theia people we've got no blood relation with.

Yeah, she was my mom's hair stylist in the 1970's and she also cut my hair when I was a kid too But out of respect I call her theia.

Speaking of which, I specifically remember getting my hair cut at this salon near her house, a couple of blocks away, where there were some very good looking girls there One girl admired my tatoo of Kefallonia, she was also a Kefallonitisa.
