Steve: “People ask me, ‘where’d you get all this stuff,’ and I always tell them, ‘I just, you know, found it.’ I find stuff pretty much everywhere, and I just take it home. That’s my look. I think it’s cool how everything in the world sort of goes together, you know? A bonus tip is cover things in foil.”
Gary’s biggest pet peeve is the mystifying notion that everyone who lives in Roswell is a “weirdo.”
My eyes, my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They’re burning like fire!
I love cactus!
(And cock!)
The really short, barely noticeable mohawk is what does it for me. For some reason I feel like throwing a hoe down or square dance or up.
Tex? inquiring minds want to know…
wouldya hit it?
Not bad for a room done in “early ungepotchke”!
Absolutely I’d hit that…but only at my place….He’s a cutie but he can’t decorate his way out of a paper harness…
Tex, do you have a mohawk fetish? Come on now don’t be shy. And by the way, that comment was hilarious!!! Way to go.
I hope that he was visiting someone - and the host wanted to take a picture of his latest trick.
Oh, what the hell am I say - you know this is in England. The combined haircut/braces/Wellies with the random decoration give it away.
What’s the altitude of this place? Looks like nosebleeds are common.
I have never seen such a stunning fireplace guard. I’m sure it’s made from alien resisting polymers. Anyone who’s seen Close Encounters know that’s were they (and Santa) like to enter the home. I belief the cacti are there as a back-up in case of a breach. Speaking of BREECHes - love the braces as a means to hide the nipples. This is clearly his natural environment.
Anyone else notice the placement of a devil’s head, dead-center at the top of his little “shine”?
I bet he’s standing in a pentagram, drawn with God-knows-what.
This would almost be excusable if he were younger. Nineteen, just moved out of home, a few difficult-to-kill houseplants as housewarming presents, and we’re all set. It would also explain the sheer randomness of the objects. For a man pushing/being pushed by 30, this is rather less acceptable.
As an aside, has anyone else noticed that suspenders are totally making a comeback? I see them all the time lately. I think they’re kinda nerdy/sexy.
suspenders are kind of sexy.
i kind of imagine he’s got a small space to work with. maybe 600 sq. ft. tops.
as far as digs go it’s not as bad as other things (like that orange mess monstrosity) that have been posted here.
The turquoise paint with the unpainted pine seems very Brit chic; the remainder of the room’s decor has got to go. Simon (or Nigel or whatever his name might be) has a decent enough body and a nice dusting of chest hair, so he can stay if he gets a decent haircut and has a nice slab of uncut British beef.
Well said, Louis!
I’m sure I speak for many when I say that we’ve missed your posts.
He has evidently robbed Miss Nelson’s first grade class of its bulletin board backdrop in order to paper his fireplace.
Where can I get a pair of candle shoes like his? Do you just plug them in? And I know that this is just being fussy, but shouldn’t the picture of the alien be ABOVE the glowing lime jello lamp? The place has a kind of whole earth spirituality, honor all the elements… the blues for water and air, the reds for fire, the greens for the earth’s fertility, (although the cactus MUST be put back into the sunlight), and the browns of the pottery do evoke a dust to dust motif. I assume he cut a tree at summer solstice and will burn the yule logs in a winter solstice celebration, hope he will dance naked, with or without the boots, in the warmth of the sacred fire. I also assume that he has a more erotic collection, perhaps quite animalistic, in his bedroom where I hope he will take another photograph, he might be quite a “strapping” fellow …
Otto brought up the most significant issue: AGE. This place would be expected if it were a group home of students, 18 to 22. Instead the eclecticism is a reflection of the owner’s fear of letting go of youth. He’s trying desperately to find a way to express his “young spirit” while not wanting to appear ashamed of his actual age, thus the many conflicts. You see, someone made fun of him for being “a grandmother trapped in the body of a gay man.” I suspect our “poser’s” true personality can be found in the bubble-glass vase collection tucked away on the top left shelf. He LOVES finding these things at flea markets and yard sales. The rest of the stuff, he thinks he loves, but mostly he loves how they divert your attention away from the fact that if he really let himself shine, the whole place would be done in doilies and hand painted porcelain figurines. What gives this away is the central faux-piece: him. The look? “Boots’n’braces, Mate!” But to let us know he’s not merely hiding in the skinhead youth cult, he has leatherized it: the leather suspenders, the biker boots replacing the lace-up Doc Martin’s, and the short Mohawk, tribal tattoos, and face jewelry. The biggest clue is the pants that actually need suspenders. Neither skinhead nor leather-man would be caught dead in such loose fitting pants, making me certain that our hero has been at the gym a lot in the past few months as part of his (slightly) early mid-life crises.
I keep looking at this pic - admittedly because I think the guy is a little hot (despite the outfit and location). Now I have realized that the ENTIRE fireplace wall is covered in foil - not just his “firebox” as it were.
Why?
Charles, it’s to keep the satellite from watching him get plowed by Tex.
I’m sensing a great deal of constrained Qi in this area… Mm, is this really the element you want in this Gwa - Tin-foil? Plants harness energies for us, but these are all rather spikey. They may be drawing essence up and away from your abode, rather than drawing it in. My gravest concern is your plant-stand stump: Death, death, death, it says to me. Is there something stumpy in your life that’s holding you back?
