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.

The Best Store Bought Bedding Around

For me .................
It is the DETAILS that separates the boys for the men.

For bedding that you ac buy ready made, I am not sure if you can do better than Neiman Marcus.

My bedroom now are these colors. My walls are the green on the headboard and everything else is black and off-white.

So I love this one.
Delicious store bought bedding, imagine.... that if you look, it's here.

I do not like anything South West but this could be cool for a Hippy Chic. Check out the details, nail heads on the pillow, and suede fringe pillows too.

Go to the site, you can really get a close up look at all the bells and whistles.

I put this one in because these were the exact colors of my bedroom growing up.

I thought my Mom would get a kick out of it.

Hi MOM !!! xxx

Jackie, ( From Jackie Blue Home ) aren't you impressed with the elaborate trims etc ?

This is appropriately named ' Ann Gish ', and is silk.

Here is something for you 'Beigiacs'

I really do not like these colors, but I know some client will. YUCH.

In my opnion, this is sooooo depressing. It makes you want to get in a hot bath with a razor-blade and a tall cocktail.

But the trim is Fab-Boo
