Sortof strange therefore fantastic by Joshua Ellingson.

AOTD: todd hido

These are from photographer Todd Hido's "homes at night" and "landscapes" series. They're creepy and ominous so I can't stare at them too long but I love the moodiness about them.

It's true, I'm an heiress.

I think I'm about to inherit this loft in the top of the Smith Tower. Yes, I had that chihuly commissioned for this space.

Tuesday AOTD

Really hot mixed media by Eduardo Bertone.

It's over

I still wanted to post my christmas window. Annie and Megan helped me make it because they are awesome. I just took it down last weekend which is sad because it was pretty. But I'm so over christmas.

This is kinda funny. Sam L: "say blogosphere again". [source: boing boing]

Here's to a better week: AOTD

These photos are part of "The Thought Project" by Simon Hoegsberg.
"Over a period of three months I stopped 150 strangers on the street and asked them about what they were thinking the second before I stopped them. Using a mic and a dictaphone I recorded what they told me, then took a picture of them....all quotes are exactly what they said during the interviews"

Carpet art

This is John's carpet. New Years rules. I love it and I love champagne and cigars and john's tiny stanky ass apartment is the perfect place for it. Oooh! I thought of another resolution: see more art shows. I'm really gonna do that one.

Shameless

I know, this is bad. But it's cute and most people like puppies.

Why not?

People seem to really like sushi everything. And by people, I mean me. I kindof want this.
[the sushi disk from solid alliance]

I forgot that the internet has everything.

Including this guy's "personal collection of aquariums and fish tanks". The "fish tank of the month" section is particularly enjoyable. It has SIX AQUASPACES! I don't know why this is interesting. Ok I don't know why anything on boing boing is but I've accepted that. This is a pic of his newest endeavor: "palmtop aquariums". Hot.

Resolutions. Kindof.

Happy NY from Toon Club.

Resolutions:
1.) Become more in tune with my natural psychic abilities.
2.) No more weekday drinking.
3.) Learn to golf.
4.) Learn to shoot.
5.) Continue mission: hot-bod.

Holidays vs. Mansionmogul

Holidays: 1 Me: 0
Vacation has officially kicked my ass. You people visiting from out of town have also beat me down with your week o' fun and drinking. Fun is exhausting. Well, I'm back on the blog wagon now...I will be posting pics soon (the ones that are less humiliating) of all the shenanigans.

Christmas birthday slut.
Merry christmas, with love from one of the most viewed youtube video over the holidays.
How seattle celebrates '07.

Happy holidays and belated birthday to me!

Yesterday was fantastic. It was my birthday and I was too busy having a totally awesome day to post. Oh well! Happy Christmas Eve everyone.....in celebration of the baby jesus here is a fabulous manse. This is the very manse that inspired Disney's Haunted House. [evergreen house]

Warning

I feel like this is something I would do when I was wee. Actually, I might have. Weird kiddos are hilarious. [from ballard ave blog]

This is why I love art.

I mean, wtf is this? It's amazing. This installation titled "Head On", by Cai Guo-Qiang is totally amazing and I wish I could see it in person. In the information on the piece it says: "99 life-sized replicas of wolves and glass". It's perfection. [Cai Guo-Qiang]

Target rules!

Since Target is so awesome in their support of design for everyone, they partnered with AIGA to launch several projects that would bring design into the classroom. This poster was designed by Rafael Esquer. It was influenced by Picasso's vases and was accompanied by an activity for students.

Utilitarian Wall Fungus.

That's exactly what this is.

[fadspdslpugvoiware]

I have heartburn bad and I think I need to go home because of it. FYI. This blog is going off the deep end. Somebody send me somthing post-worthy that doesn't have to do with heartburn.

Little box of lies

Cool Hunting dug up these buttons from Fling (badasses aiming to bring fine art to the public). They have generic small-talk phrases that are not the most sincere like "I'm listening," "It's great to be here," "I promise" and "You look great." I really want the "I'm listening" one, because I'm totally never listening.

Manse post. Long overdue.

It's been a while since I've posted a hot Manse...and I've found a goodie for ya. This is a smokin' wine country estate in Sonoma, California. I kindof get carried away when I start thinking about my wine country manse. It also says this property is great for the "horse enthusiast". Phew! I was worried for a minute there.

Yay Holidays!

Celebratory internet-is-back post.

Glamour is dumb, but these stats are mildly interesting:
10: Number of minutes, on average, it takes to decide if you want someone as your friend.
7.5: Average number of hours per week women spend with their friends.
82: Percent of women who wish they had more time for their friends.
396: Number of friends, on average, a person makes over the course of a lifetime.

Dear Samantha,

Dear Samantha at Metroblogging, I quite enjoy your bus commentary amidst the flood (haha) of boo-ring postings about Windapocolypse 2006.

Vintage Playboy Manse.

It's the Playboy Townhouse!! Circa 1962. This manse is the hotness and everyone knows it.
[playboy townhouse]

The Design Disease!

Haha. Y'allz know I have this. I might have even given it to you. "A graphic designer in London" (aka Ben Terrett) talks about this crippling disease on his blog. Oh and I like how he uses "proper" in a sentence.

Seattle-Monsoon 2006

My friend just emailed to say that he straight saw a girl just get blown down the ground by the wind. WTF? Seattlest reports. Q13 meteorologist M.J. McDermott also gives the week's weather (MJ needs a new hairstyle something fierce btw). But maybe I just hate because I love Walter.

AOTD

What a badass. I love this artist because he doesn't limit himself to a canvas. His works are installations, creating an entire art space. Also, I like grizzly bear art.
[more art works from Blaine Fontana]

haha. religion shelf.

This is amusing. Shelf/artstatement that puts all major religious texts on one level. And it's only $2,500!!! Bargain.
[available from Mike and Maaike]

AOTD: dedicated to Kim

Kim, today's art is dedicated to you. It's by Marilyn Patrizio and it's called, "Portrait of Timmie".

Guess the bar.

This poor guy passed out on the table and then his friends left him there. Actually, maybe I don't feel bad for him. Right of passage or something. These guys were toasting "to the 8th grade" earlier in the evening.

Haha! I also want this.

Ipod speaker dock from Specktone. $149.

AOTD

Justin Hillgrove has just updated his web site and added a bunch of new smallish, affodable paintings to his art store. [impsandmonsters] This is also a tribute to yesterday.
