Bad, bad idea. When my apartment was robbed a few years ago, they took my remote, but not my TV. Someone told me later that thieves often don't make off with TVs (at least, not the old kind that I had) because they're too cumbersome, but DO take remotes because they can still resell them.

It would work in a similarly kitch setting. I could see it in a loft apartment with aged brick walls and odd ephemera and rusty vintage items here and there. But not - definitely not - in any traditional home.

It's certainly clever, but it makes me think of wagon wheel coffee tables which makes me think of Billy Crystal.

The clock in #5 looks like a Big Ben Moon Beam, though possibly a vintage one. You can get similar ones at L.L Bean.

I have only one *actual* ornament - a silver pig. So, I've stuck whatever other knickknacks I can find on mine, including a small tiki doll for the "star."

I'd offer to replace it if I were the guest, although, as the hostess, I would never expect anyone to do so. Glass is fragile. Sometimes it breaks.

Apparently naked chicks break, too, as illustrated in the stock image used for this article?

I wouldn't want it in the middle of my bedroom, necessarily, but if I had a huge bathroom, I'd love to have the tub in the middle!

I use Deva Curl "Low Poo." It's helped my scalp out tremendously and seems to be a good balance between those harsher shampoos and nothing at all. There's also "No Poo," but I've heard it makes your hair greasy.

I had that same one, Enamorada (but mine was pink)! I used to reenact Hitchcock's Vertigo with Barbies on the roof of mine.

Add me to this list of driven-up-the-wall victims. If people like grouping their books by color so much, why don't they just make their own book jackets for them and keep them in logical order?

Okay, seriously. What is that thing under the lamp? I'm thinking taxidermied llama. (But the lamp looks great!)
