After seeing the show, it appears that Conan didn't give a **** about your bust.
The bust being broken, it didn't help either. Anyway, congrats on your
evergroing celebrity.
Might I say, I don't know if this project helped your celebrity in a good way
though. I know you didn't have much time to do it, but the bust didn't look
that much like Conan and it broke during shipping, giving a live image of a
not-so-good bust which I'm not sure would help you. I hope it will provide more
good than harm, because you trylu are amazing at what you do.
