A Room of One's Own

It's that time again where I become obsessed with having the perfect room. I'm generally more interested in adorning my body but the lack of furniture is really putting a damper on my time management skills. The artist posted doesn't sell dressers, however the Bigfoot Boudoir set may be something that I need to have.

Color Me Illuminated






Photographed by Alfred Cheney Johnston in the 1920s, The Ziegfeld Girls were performers in the Broadway show known as the Ziegfeld Follies. Inspired by the Folies Bergere (missing the grave accent because I'm hopeless in figuring out how to make that happen) in Paris, the visually stunning hybrid show of broadway meets vaudeville charmed it's spectator with elaborate costumes and sets. I took a particular interest in the set "The Illuminants" which are pictured above. The surrealist concept and it's subtle hints of irony make me want to run away and join the circus.
