My friends Chris and Nicole are getting married this afternoon. :)
One of the things I love about weddings is finding out what the bride and groom have chosen for their “first dance” wedding song. I know, most people like the romance of it all, the […]

I am SO IN LOVE with this Orbit retro wall clock!!
I want one so bad… and if I didn’t already know that it would be tacky as all get out to put more than one of these in the house, I’d put one in every room. Isn’t it beautiful?

I love bio flicks like this in general, like Ray and Walk The Line, but I don’t know what it is about […]

There’s something about that long, lean, stretched-hourglass figure that’s often featured in vintage ads for champagne. Tattinger used it (”it” being Grace Kelly) in one of their pieces, and here we have two by Poto Leifi for a company (that may be fictional, because I can’t find any info on it) called Golden Sable.

Anyone got a movie room in their home? You know what I’m talking about, with the huge screen, the big comfy chairs with the coolers in the armrests, surround sound?
I’ve only been in a couple of these, and no, they haven’t all been that extravagant, but people do love movies and they do love to […]
