Just Another ' HO ( HO ) HUM ' Christmas Party

Ah yes..... another HO HUM Christmas Party .

Having a man fall all over himself to light your cigarette is reason enough to start smoking.

But then again, I am no Holly Golightly. Are you ?

Let Me Be Sally Bowles For One Night

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.

Edgar Berebi And Foo Dogs

I think that Foo Dogs look like smooth coated Brussel Griffons.

I had one and she was the funniest little dog ever.

I love all flat faced dogs, they make me laugh.

( Botanica of Boca has the largest collection of Edgar Berebi that I have ever seen in any one store.
This one measures 5.5 H x 3.75" , made with a pewter base and with a 24kt museum finish.
That's in addition to Austrian crystals, enamels in cinnabar, lapis,jade and soft pink. )

This would be lovely on a night stand loaded with Viagra.

A living Foo Dog. LOL

Am I right or what ???

(These are what they call a rough coated Brussels Griffon)

Just bring me a spoon and milk, I could eat them alive.

Too Cute! When I see little hairy people like these, I am so sure about G-D. Sometimes when times are more than a little difficult, it is hard to feel connected to G-d, but I am always comforted by my chi chi little critters.

Only G-D could create theses adorable comedians.

Mine was exactly like this one.
