To all you poor souls in the throes of snowy disaster: I know you are without power, and therefore not even reading this (and if you have — by some miraculous happenstance — found electricity, then you are almost certainly doing more important things than blog trolling, like taking hot showers and cooking food and flushing your toilets), but I’m giving you all a shout out nonetheless. Because living like a cave (wo)man in the ice age is totally lame (especially in the absence of exotic fauna, like saber tooth tigers and woolly mammoths) but y’all are some badasses, so I know you’re gonna pull through with style. Also, I would like to congratulate you on snagging the most bitchin’ moniker for a natural disaster ever: Snowmageddon. There is solace to be found in that kind of excellence.
Well, whenever you get around to reading this, just know that I’m rooting for you. And to show my support, I’m shining some bright lights your way. I hope this post finds you soon.

Alright people, let’s work together to kick Mother Nature’s ass and ensure there are no more natural disaster posts, because the only disasters we should be discussing are entirely domestic. Disasters like: Erin desperately needs a new couch! Erin is dying to move baby Ike’s crib out of her room! When can Karly remodel her kitchen?!
You know. Important stuff.

Very nice! I wonder if the light installations in Elton’s room and the photo below it are both Tracey Emin…who btw is part of the current Desire exhibit at the Blanton, along with Marilyn Minter.
The “What the hell are you thinking” sign is pretty much making my morning. I’d turn it on every Saturday night…
And when will Ally finally get some lights for her kitchen? The Sasa Antic photo has two styles I’m loving right now in one room! (I posted about bare bulbs today.) I need to save that pic for my ongoing search . . .
Benny Franklin-hahahahaha. I wonder if his mama called him that. So much food for thought here. You’re brilliant as usual. I love Bambi and the Chain. Hmmmm, that might make a fine moniker for a rock band.
your postings are amazing lately. wow!
Andrea, you have a super keen eye! I do believe they are Tracey Emin.
Nkp and David, thanks for the nice words. They seriously made my day.
thanks so much for the shout-out.
and that skin one? i think it is skin — probably goat skin. my shop-next-door-neighbor just got back from africa with two pendants that look *exactly* like that. yep, goat skin.
Anita, that’s creepy. And normally I like creepy things, but… I don’t know about that.
Inspired by the recent post about crediting artists, the neons at Elton’s, “I know, I know, I know” and “And I love you,” are definitely Tracey Emin. The photo above the couch however is Darren Almond, and the painting in the bedroom is Gary Hume. I suspect the skull on the bedside table is Damien Hirst, but it’s too small to tell for sure. Also the little mushrooms on the Yves Klein table could be Murakami, but again too small to tell.
Lady, you are a walking contemporary art textbook! I love it.
I do what I can
I could happily move the entire grouping featuring the Yves Klein coffee table into my living room.
I did say “happily,” didn’t I?
I love that Yves Klein coffee table, too. In every color.
I think the sign should say, “What the hell were you thinking?”
The title of my snow pix on Facebook is “Snowmaggedon.”
kisses for baby Ike.
Man I need that Bambi light for Ms. Tallulah Fawn’s bedroom. I already have 3 deer lights, but really whats 1 more at this point.
