Kelly Clarkson visits Brooklyn shop to inquire about buying a wall-mounted bird mascot
Kelly Clarkson visited the Art of Play store in Brooklyn on October 10 to ask if she could purchase Molly, the shop's mounted bird mascot.
Store employee explains mascot status
A sales associate informed Clarkson that purchasing the mounted bird was impossible because it is not for sale. The employee suggested contacting artist Bliss Kolb to request a $15,000 duplicate of the mechanical contraption instead.
Clarkson shares social media reaction
The singer later posted on X that she felt people looked at her as if she could not afford the item. She mentioned being told about the specific details regarding the bird during her brief visit to the curiosity shop.
Artist discusses mechanical creations
Bliss Kolb creates crank-driven mechanical devices that imitate living creatures similar to those found in daytime talk show sets. The artist confirmed she makes duplicates of various items but noted the original mascot remains on the wall.
