tim and i were reading the latest LCBO food & drink journal today, and we were talking about one particular ad. the ad showed how much difference the paint can make, where as they actually have not only repainted the room but changed the bed, side tables, added a headboard, absolutely new matching modern set of linens, side lamps, a huge vintage/art deco ish poster instead of the smallish awkwardly framed smaller ones, a new white armchair… and of course they want us to think a $30 can of paint did all that.

regardless.

the poster in particular caught my eye. so i did some brave ebaying, and now i’m drooling over these:

WORLD´S FAIR CHICAGO OLD - POSTER.
ROSSLI CIGARS OLD AD - POSTER.
LOVE this one SO much: POWDER PUFF NUDE GIRL ITALIAN VINTAGE POSTER!
MELE ITALIAN SHOPPING FASHION - great shapes, colors (!)
these are small, but would look fantastic in a kitchen area: 2 VINTAGE ITALIAN KITCHEN PASTA CHEF SPAGHETTI POSTERS

maybe i can shoot something closer to this. but i like the abstractness of that style of drawing! (this picture is not mine:)

i tried to find a SFW image by him, but apparently most of his photographs involve naked people.

but, they are awesome.

okay, while this is not “what i wore today”, i’m almost there with this outfit! isn’t it gorgeous?

i just really like the look! someone, shoot me like that, i’ll even band-aid my fingers and paint one of them black! (or red, depending on the filters used)

mmm, wicked styling
juts awesomely weird
