Home furnishings, that is. Bev Hisey has a new collection of round "petri dish" rugs that are patterned after magnified bacteria. My favorties are the E.Coli, Botulism (great for a kitchen) and Influenza (shown) designs. Even with these alarming names, they are hard to resist. No flu masks required.
As a continuation of yesterday's theme and my misery at work, today's posting is all about BOOBS - as in the "boobs" I work for. Besides, I felt the brand new Lady pillows from Jonathan Adler were just too fun to resist posting about. I'd be very happy to see one on my own little settee in my living room, but I believe they would look quite at home on the pink furry Cipria sofa from Edra. Maybe I'll send my ideas off to the Bunny Ranch in Reno.
Well, today is not a good day at work. Crazy bosses and drama all about. I bet I'd be better able to deal with this insanity if I had a desk by Maarten De Ceulaer. Course, if I could afford it I wouldn't NEED this stinking job.
I have always been a fan of Pierre et Gilles fantastical style of photography. I happened upon a new genius that I feel has the same quality. Uber homoerotic, yet soooo beautiful in style. The "love-child", so to speak of Pierre et Gilles is a young man, Mikel Marton, who goes by "Toxic Boy". Check out some of his other work and you'll agree with my new found fascination. Not to mention how incredibly gorgeous he is himself! Perhaps I spend too much time on his two websites?
Madonna looks absolutely amazing in the Louis Vuitton ad campaign for Spring 2009!
When I was a small lad I was apparently incredibly competitive with my older sister. She could read and I couldn't. So, I complained to my mother. Her response, "So? Read!" I grabbed a book (ate age 3 = child prodigy) called ANN LIKES RED and began reading. That inspiration stuck as I still get a little (ok, a lot) excited when I see the color red. Hence, this post. How great is this "throne" chair by Blackman Cruz? It makes me want to rethink my living room decor and start a new theme centered around RED!!!!
As long back as I can remember I have loved the house of Chanel. I've read and own pretty much every book on Mademoiselle Chanel and have admired and coveted the work Lagerfeld has done with the iconic brand. Confession: I even wear Chanel No. 5 during winter for special occasions. In any case, the latest collection is simply beautiful. It's at times like these I wish I were a woman so I could pour into one of the black and white printed cat suits. They have even put out a Coco Phone - I WANT ONE!
I'm going gaga over Flavor Paper's wallpaper designs!!!
I have always loved paisley and still remember my favorite paisley shirt I wore to death back in the early 80's. Maharam Design Studio has revived the classic print in a wonderfully over-sized rendition and a few gorgeous colorways. Here they've used it on a bench which would be great at the end of a bed. 
I hated the Fonz on that ridiculous Happy Days show. How in the hell did Henry Winkler (even the name sucks) become such a sex symbol? In any case, he did start the whole "thumbs up" revolution which obviously inspired this cute "Vous" mirror by Art Lebedev Studio.
I hate, no - LOATHE, to do laundry (sorting, washing, folding - you name it). My second least favorite chore is to walk my normally overloaded bag (due to enormous procrastination) of laundry to the laundromat. I don't even DO my own laundry either so that's how much I hate dealing with it, people. But, when I came across this "money laundering" bag by Kikkerland I couldn't help but smile. I doubt this will change my distaste of unclean clothing, but it WILL make my jaunt to the "Wash-n-Go" a bit more fun.
One of my silly past times is to use the digital camera in my phone to take random pictures of random stuff. Often times the subject is my kitten Shelley. 
Today, despite the L train drama this morning, is turning into a beautiful day!!! 
My friend Olive recently moved back to London - just after we completed the design of her living room it so happens - and I'm missing her a lot this week. Even more so after stumbling across this super snazzy Union Jack chair by Dan Marty Design. I am really drawn to the hap hazard-y look the upholstery has as if made from a vintage flag. Lovely!
