Here's a very Milwaukee spin on "A Christmas Story" icon.

Miller High Life is releasing ...

A pink bunny suit with straws for beer attached to the ears? No.

An "official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle" that sprays beer? Nah, "you'll shoot your eye out."

How about a limited-edition Leg Lamp Beer Tower? Yep, that's the one.

It's "modeled after the historic and beloved Girl in the Moon who has graced the iconic bottle since its 1903 debut," according to the brewing company's website. Instead of a black stiletto heel, it features a red boot. And fishnets have been swapped out for red and yellow striped tights.

The lampshade has black fringe around the edge, like in the legendary film.

The Leg Lamp Beer Tower, which stands at 3½-feet tall, can hold a six pack's-worth of beer and is illuminated with battery-operated lights, the website said. When the lampshade is removed, beer can be poured into a tubular opening at the top of the tower. Beer gets dispensed behind the ankle.

Will it make you say: “It’s indescribably beautiful! It reminds me of the Fourth of July”? TBD.

The product, which costs $120, comes in a box labeled "Fragile" ... or as Mr. Parker pronounces it, “Fra-gee-lay."

And we already know the proper place to put it: In the middle of the front room window. Warning: Don't water your plants near it.
