When I saw these pendants...........Sally Bowles, the lead character in Cabaret came to mind. I was just a kid when I saw the film. It was so great, Liza Minnelli was so great in it, that it ' Made Her' . Her famous family didn't hurt any either.
I could definitely see these Jake Phipps pendant lighting fixtures in a woman's dressing room or closet.
Maybe even over a pair of sinks in the bath. I think any of these fixtures would be the bomb in a boys room, or even better, in a powder room. Jake Phipps hit the jackpot when he dreamt these up.
Just think , you are all alone , so you put The Cabaret Soundtrack on really loud.....pour a glass of wine and begin to relax.
But the lyrics from; ' Don't Tell Mama ' & ' Perfectly Marvelous' won't stop calling.... Yes, it is time to grab the fishnets, hot pants , the bowler, the very high heels, and lastly the black satin halter vest. Now I am feeling it !!
Let's not forget the perfect chair , and THE MAKE -UP !!!! Yes, that's it, I Am Sally Bowles !Boy, that was fun.... Do you remember doing that for hours as a kid ? ( keep in mind I use the term very loosely )
These are dreamt up and manufactured by Jake Phipps.
I think they are so kicky. Anyone with any sense of style coupled with fun has a place for one of these or a grouping.

I've loved these lights since I first saw them. I think I would use them in a dressing room, I'd be afraid of putting them in a bathroom, but I think your idea of putting them in a boys bedroom is great!
ReplyDeleteI cannot think of the DIVINE Liza without thinking of Cabaret! LOVE IT!! Possibly my favorite movie of hers.
They are darling! I could see them in a man's dressing room or closet!
ReplyDeleteI love the both, but am a sucker for the top hat. I saw Cabaret when I was young, too, then again when I was older. I was stunned at all the nuance I missed the first time.
ReplyDeletemaybe when he heard the term high hats , he got the idea for top hats.. Tee hee
