Steve: "Oh, what? Sorry, I was just working on some things down here. No, it’s alright — come on down. None of this is technically ready to be viewed yet, but I think you can see where it’s going. It’s all about nature and confinement. But the thing is… I can’t find a good way to work in more than just six of seven of these hats, and my iguana escaped from her terrarium last night. She’s here someplace. Bessie! Bessie! Come back!"

Yes…but only with a machete.
Awesome Tex!!!!!! And oddly enough, I think that a machete is the only thing missing from this pic.
Well, look - you’ve GOT to have something to replace the oxygen sucked out of the room by all that leather. Personally, I’m less put off by the veritable blizzard of trees (TREES!) than I am by all those mirrors! Because, when you have a room that’s filled to the rafters with ugly crap, you DEFINITELY want to create the illusion that you’ve got ten times MORE ugly crap than you really do. Right?
P.S. LOVIN’ the 1970’s, institutional, vinyl-covered, padded chair in baby-shit brown. I’m thinking it’s the room’s Master Stroke.
So to speak.
oh dear GOD!
Wow
no.
not EVEN with a machete
You see? You see!?!?
THIS is what happens when you let your gay child play with hetero bohemians. You try to warn them, but they go right on.
Oh, this home is eaten up with a malignant kind of weird……….
The perspective gives me vertigo. That chair Jimbo mentions for example, in the reflection it seems to be of normal adult height assuming the model is normal adult height, but why do I get the feeling that a major trompe-l’œil is being played here. When we look at the chair head on it suddenly seems to shrink. Is the floor tilted at an unnatural angle? Is it all done with mirrors? There are six mirrors in this limited view alone. What kind of narcissist wears dark shades indoors and demurely cups his balls? I guess the same type who favors plants that do best in low-light conditions.
His pose is very Land’s End. Is this the precursor to a jaunty new Spring collection?
Now, I’m all for self expression of one’s sexuality and all. However, I hope he is a visitor here - and one that is about to be thrown out of this person’s home. All that leather and studs? WTF. Do you really need that much help to get off?
The house must have been decorated once. In the 80’s. Ficus, “modern” chair next to a cheap dining room chair. Lots of mirrors….wow….LOTS of mirrors.
The chairs (including one reflected in the mirror) seem to face the center of the room - where someone has kindly put out a rubber mat. Maybe he is the entertainment for the evening?
It will be easy when you move into your new, spacious apartment! There is no need to redecorate - because first you have to decorate.
We’re looking at this from the wrong angle. I’m certain this was his grandma’s old sewing room. The workbench/desk, the mirrors, the endless plants all say “sewing room” to me. Sadly, she died (grandmothers do that) and Johnny here moved on in because, one suspects, he doesn’t exactly have a thriving career and a home of his own. He traded the fabric and lace for leather and rubber and is inviting his new friends over to play.
Also, that is the ugliest carpet/flooring ever.
P.S. I think thick leather straps are much sexier than those thin ones. The belt looks like a discount purchase from Forever XXI or Claire’s. If you’re gonna go butch, go butch.
omg, he’s replaced the remote shutter-release bulb on the camera with his scrotum. cheese!
Oh, heavens….
I can’t go on vacation with this image still burned into my retinas. It would be like seeing the YUCK-itan peninsula. Every day! (And not even Miss Richfield 1981 could cure that, let me tell you!)
In the name of all that is good, bring on the next vic……er….uh, specimen before the coming weekend, s’il vous plait!
What’s with all of the Horizontal Florr Mirrors? Did he used to work in a Shoe store?
