Richard: Some of us assumed that this lothario, like his naugahyde settee, is of foreign origin and therefore possesses different aesthetic sensibilities. Then someone suggested this might be a fantasy room at one of those low-end hotels in the Catskills—something with the theme of “Opposite Day, Where Everything Wrong is Right!”
Unfortunately, this gem is too truly, truly outrageous for either of those flimsy excuses. From the orange wall treatment (created with a feather-duster, which we know because we remember the 80s) to the over-abundant leopard print, to the unfortunate sartorial decisions (there’s more ladypants in the bathroom), it’s pretty clear: we have seen the truth of Timothy Leary’s Eternal Philosophy of Chaos and it’s rooms like this.
Thanks for crushing the last little bit of Pollyanna we had left.

I saw this same room in a “classy” Italian furniture store in Massachusetts. I think he ordered it as a package deal. Faux Play is never hot!
Obviously the guy is drunk in the pic and OBVIOUSLY he was high on meth when he attempted this faux finish on the walls. I think it is also obvious that he is straight. Someone should tell this poor soul that the gays don’t do leopard print unless it is in a drag show and that Betty Boop is sooooooo 1980s.
Tex: is all yours baby. Hit away. LOL
If it’s faux, it’s gotta go………
I can smell the Paculli Oil form here.
Collages! Now I know what to do over the easter holidays! Collages!
But what if he doesn’t *know* he’s on a setee? What if he really does believe he can fly? The orange walls would then make a horrible kind of sense, i.e. “drifting lazily through the clouds at sunset.”
This is actually Janice Dickinson before “she” puts on her wig.
The obsessive-compulsive who managed cover the walls, trim, and doors completely with the orange “faux” finish (Faux what? This is nothing that I have ever seen in nature.)was thoughtful to provide elegant white nylon pads on the feet of the settee’s cabriole legs. Nothing spoils the fun of an evening of elegant posing like scratches on one’s wood floor.
Do I spy a pair of well-worn Birkenstock or EarthShoe sandals on the floor?? Not only has this fellow not updated his decor since the late ’70’s, he obviously has not updated his wardrobe.
@Lazenbear: I refuse to give Dickinson credit for having even this much taste. Let’s just assume it’s Penelope Cruz instead.
Ouch. So much for my LASIK surgery.
You can see in the mirrors that the WHOLE ROOM is painted like that *gags*
Doesn’t it kinda look like a Mom-and-Pop brothel? And apparently Mom and Pop are pimping their only son, to no avail.
Our resident critic, Richard, is right: feather duster application is right out of the 80’s; likely a thinly-veiled homage to Phyllis Diller’s last big comeback. But ORANGE??????? It’s as if they sub-contracted “Chucky” to do the work. Eeeesh!
Quick! I need a Velamint!
I’ll pass….NEXT!
Tex…..what a guy!!! And I too am in agreement……..NEXT!!!
yikes.
i’m really creeped out by the leopard print around the mirror.
i really liked the color orange until I saw this picture. Thanks, I’m scarred for life now. Or at least the next 23 minutes.
next!
That the walls looked so completely fabulous after he’d finished steaming off the old wallpaper was clearly one of those rare “happy accidents” you always hear about. And what better way to recycle used birthday gift wrap than as matting for that flea market-find mirror he’d so shrewdly snapped up?
Martha, take heed.
Has everyone failed to notice that Chi Chi here didn’t just stop with the faux-schmeaux painting with the walls, or the trim? She took it all the way onto the GODDAMNED DOORS! Hinges and all.
I’m sure if I were to spend enough time poring over that picture, I’d be able to pick out the light switches and electrical sockets that got painted right over as well.
Those tanning-booth-roasted legs look to be flapping around at 150mph in some kind of recondite wind tunnel.
Oi fucking vey.
What is wrong with this room, other than the odd placement of the thermostat? It’s perfection!
Perhaps one could “pick a bone” with the 1950’s institutional olive/drab tiling in the bathroom, but fashionably updated to include a very post modern dream-catcher design. Do not be quick to pass judgment as the bathroom window treatments, in orange, carry out the leitmotif. Then again, why quibble over aracana?
The Betty Boop cartoon in the bottom right corner of the “leopard” mirror really sets off the scene.
There’s something about the poor attempt at using the sponge technique for the walls, the almost frightening amounts of leopard print strewn throughout the room and (let’s not forget) the Betty Boop sticker on the mirror–there’s something that’s telling me that this guy does drag.
And I’ll bet she’s HORRIBLE at that as well.
OMG….what a fab blog. This is so up my street like you wouldn’t believe and it’s nice to know that there are others who share my peculiar interest in dissecting porn pic backgrounds. I do the same with porno films too…
This pic is truly hideous in all aspects really. Well done.
The tribe has spoken……..
…………next, please.
What is it with the gays?!
A cliche response to Max’s cliche question:
We make the world a more beautiful,fun, and adventurous place. That’s why the “straights” ridicule, torment, and hate us and then steal all our good stuff.
