Pimp Blimp

As I was working in the back yard yesterday I heard engines overhead, but they didn’t seem to be moving very fast. Looking up I noticed a blimp coming over the house, but it wasn’t like any blimp I’ve ever seen before. I went into the house to grab my camera and by the time I’d gotten back out it wasn’t over the house anymore. Fortunately, I was able to zoom in and get a decent picture of it.
For your viewing pleasure, I present the pimp blimp: (click for supersize)
This definitely isn’t your father’s Goodyear Blimp…

That gasbag was down here in the Austin area, also. Apparently the decor is the result of a contest where kids got to draw color schemes for the thing. I guess sort of a “Pimp my Blimp” for the younger set.
Roger,
Thanks for the info. It was starting to bug me as to why that thing was painted like that. I did a bit of searching on Google, but didn’t find anything relevant.
