Because you need a distraction away from the shock jock and his minion who clearly doesn’t own a mirror I bring you textured loveliness from Paris with love. My gut reaction: this home feels used and live in. Friends have been here. Memories have been created and you can tell that this apartment’s decor was no rush job because the texture of it says it all. The pieces that fill this apartment can’t be found in a casual day after Saturday brunch at the flea market. It comes from being in the right place at the right time over time…So could you live here?

This mood board is all about the not so serious side of you and we all have one. It’s the side that gabs on the phone for ridiculous amounts of time, eats pints of Butter Pecan & Rocky Road, flips through Marie Claire, reads a trashy novel, takes plenty of bubble baths, and doesn’t care about the stupid rigid rules of life. You just wanna live, girls just wanna have fun, and you don’t want to have to apologize for your choices in men, shoes, or makeup cause we’re all learning life as we live it. It’s so fun making this up as I type along...

Just like The Color Purple I desperately need to know your favorite parts/lines/characters of the movie classic Coming to America. As I upload the pics and  type this a case of the serious chuckles can’t stop cause this movie is like healing laughter for the comedic soul. Eighties Eddie will always be a Demi-God of humor. Because GT is emotionally invested I seriously want to know what Eddie’s childhood was like cause everything about Coming to America is laugh out loud perfection. In spite of Norbit. From the multiple characters to the timeless funny if you want to cheer yourself fast forward to your favorite scene.  It’s a guaranteed side splitting laugh…

I swear on a stack of decor bibles that if Liberace were alive he’d order about ten each of these custom made Bokja furniture high-end pieces, slap on diamonds and rubies to make it less Woodstock, New York and more Reno, Nevada only to make sure that no one layed as much as one left butt cheek on them. I wanted to go somewhere with this…oh yeah..unless you marry rich, strike oil in your backyard, or play the right winning combination these strikingly beautiful gypsy furniture finds are for sight seeing only. So what say you? Nauseatingly dizzying or your MO?

It’s the hope and prayer of seeing someone snatch Beyonce’s million dollar wig piece as she finds out backstage that Jay dropped divorce papers on CNN. It’s wanting to see Lil Wayne procreate three sets of rapping sextuplets. It’s having Oprah finally coming out of the closet to marry Gail and having Madea Tyler Perry as the best man. It’s the hope of witnessing Lady Gaga’s penis fall out of her leopard leotard and Kelis becoming a welfare mom peddling WIC checks. It’s crossing your fingers that Rihanna will gain twenty more pounds in her forehead and the prayer that she’ll have a reunion with Chris Brown’s fist. It’s waiting for the day where Serena will pull out the razor that she uses to shave her back and the sweet confirmation of Amber Rose admitting the she’s a bot from Uranus and that Gabourney is the reincarnate Ms.Biggie Smalls.
