Steve: This promotional image from a major producer of plug-in air fresheners was never used in their new "gritty" and "demographically targeted" campaign due to the fact that the product isn’t visible in the shot.
First-time campaign director/photographer, Louis Thatch, remarks, “I was very focused on including as many tangible sources of odor as possible, so I didn’t always get the unit in-frame. I asked if we could add it in post [production] but at the end of the day the whole thing was a re-shoot and all I got out of these was a mysterious infection.”

Perhaps the tattoo on the model’s tummy is an image of the air freshener?
He seems to want us to see it!
BTW, was this photo “adjusted” so that El Hombre would appear to be standing straight? If not, the photo must have been taken during one of those recent earthquakes in Mexico.
¡Ole!
Oh, good Lord(which I seem to say, or think a lot on this site), did some- thing take a dump in that chair? Maybe it was the stuffed rabbit on the back of the chair. That rabbit is the creepiest example yet. I have to go now and hit the oxygen tank and take a long hot bath, scrubbing my body furiously with the loofah. “All the perfumes in Araby”.
What’s with all the stains on the bitches carpet?
Apparently this is a studio apartment, you can shit in the chair and run to the corner and fix a cocktail. Perhaps you could fix a cocktail while you……………never mind…………..horrible idea. But something tells me this guy has tried it.
Buddy X and Tex, are you gals takers on this one?
And thanks Pork-N-Beans for a pervious post, you sound hot too.
So many questions raised by this disturbing image and so few answers offered.
For example:
Why would a man with a slovenly bent choose to furnish his “lair” with a cream-colored pleather easy chair – cream being a shade which notoriously emphasizes stains and… let’s call it dirt, rather than masks them? (At least, I HOPE it started out as cream-colored. I shudder to imagine the kind of activity which might have turned white pleather to THAT dusky shade of dinge.)
Similarly, what gives with the (formerly) winter-gray carpet? So deeply wrong for the inveterate slob.
Why is there an overturned bottle of salad dressing on the carpet next to the chair when there is no other food in sight?
Why are there so many light fixtures in a room which would so clearly benefit from the lack thereof?
Why are they all – you should pardon the expression – cock-eyed?
Why would a grown man crown his pubic area with a tattoo of Betty Boop?
Why the pointlessly ornate, ill-fitting window treatment?
Why flesh-tone walls?
These are questions best left to sages, psychologists and forensic crime-scene investigators. For myself, having spent the last few minutes delving into these grunge-laden mysteries, I need a Calgon bath and a highball.
Yikes.
You know…….
I realize this supposed to be about the decor, but there’s something about this pic that really makes me uncomfortable.
The dude is not smiling. It’s just a bummer looking at this dude and his half-assed machismo, not to mention his pig sty.
Can we just move on to the next candidate? I’m not feelin’ it. Can I get a witness?
What I want to know is if that’s a window or another room behind that brown curtain – cause if it’s another room I think it’s even worse.
You know, the decor and the man are both so awful I wouldn’t do him even if I was totally off my head.
I’m with Jeff. Normally we’re making fun (I would say “critiquing,” but let’s be honest) of people’s interior design choices. Here there are no choices. The habitant is content to have a place to sleep and eat and (shiver) whatever. I am sure everything there is there only for practical reasons; a thick curtain blocks the outside world from seeing in (it is a window, there’s an air conditioner), fridge stores food … the closest thing to a luxury item in the stereo.
Growing up working class I have seen my share of apartments like this in the places that many guys got as their first home away from the parents. I don’t know if that is the case here, but in those apartments the only thing that mattered was that you had a place to party and maybe bring back (presumably literally) blind dates.
mmm, why has the calendar got a big strike through of the months? Is daddy getting out of jail and he’s counting down the days?
The bottle on the floor is it mouth freshener? If so I think maybe he needs to wash with it…
I, too, am with Jeff and rear_window — there’s no decor here, really, to speak of.
I’m just glad jimbo’s eyes are better than mine. I thought the tattoo was of the Joker… although now I’m not certain Boop is an improvement.
¡viva mexico!
oh, wait, I think he might be in Minnesota.
Note the position of the chair, perhaps it is stationed as such so that our missing link here can try to look up the shorts of the Chivas Rayadas soccer team? He’s just a prehistoric athletic supporter, and I bet you can find one of those under that vinyl cream chair.
¡Que Lastima!
OMG….My computer screen is streaked from all of the Lysol I had to spray to disinfect my computer. Horrible horrible tableau. Make the hideousness stop!
Well, at least he can still fit into his pre-teen son’s underoos…..
I think there’s a bottle of salad dressing on the floor.
You put this photo up specially for Halloween, right? Well it’s working, ’cause it’s scaring me shitless.
Speaking of which, Happy Halloween guys.
His landlord is never going to give back the deposit.
maybe the landlord left the deposits on the rug. that would indirectly explain a lot.
This picture is already creepy on a number of levels, but the subject’s angry, belligerent scowl just makes it that much creepier. Next!
Dirty Sandals… Painful Dirty Bunyons… Turdles on the Jackie Collins chair? It’s all very upsetting.
Hey, it’s this guy, but a decade later after got out of shape and spent all the inheritance.
Inheritance?
Oh, I can’t even go there. I haven’t had a cocktail yet.
But that’s deliciously wicked and witty, Frank.
Now, I must admit that I’ve never been a fan of Spanish Modern. It just seems too regional to me, not a World Class kind of design. This example simply points out the many flaws of the Spanish Modern design—lack of electricity or plumbing, exposed art (as opposed to framed works), multi-use furniture pieces and the like.
But to be sweetly understanding, really guys, he’s about to give birth to an alien creature and I’m certain that cleaning house has been the last thing on his mind. I hope this labor pain does not continue too very long. I hurt just looking at him. I’m going to make like the baby daddy and go down the street to a bar while the event takes place. Wanna join??
¡Ay Carumba! My parents are on the way over! Where shall I hide my little black Dildo???? I know, I’ll hide it in my floor lamp. They’ll never see it in there. And to make sure, I’ll trash my apartment to assure a distraction.
can you say “one room lean to”?
“…….and you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack. And you may find yourself in another part of the world………..And you may say to yourself, this is not my beautiful house………..”
Same as it ever was.
This is clearly not his home. He’s about to be forced to do something he may not like. I’m pretty sure that each of those scary stains on the carpeting (defined loosely) are the men who came (pun intended) before him. I hope he got out of there with the ability to walk!
i was gonna make some lame ‘lair itch project’ pun but it’s just too much work.
Eric?
I think I know you. We may have met on an Atlantis cruise about 3 years ago.
Anyway….I like “Lair Itch Project”. It has legs. Run with it!
This is why I always tell people whenever you think about taking new pics to post online, CLEAN your house/room first. Or better yet, take your pictures outside. There’s so much wrong with this picture and I think you guys, for the most part, have covered them all so I may be repeating what’s already been pointed out. With that said, I’ll begin…
1.) Rule of thumb: Outside of a college dormitory or a prepubescent boy’s bedroom, posters as wall art is a big NO NO. They will never, ever be in vogue.
2.) I’m sure our hombre here has seen those carpet shampooers that you can rent at the grocery store. All it would take is a couple hours to clean those gawd-awful, yet curiously strange stains on the carpet.
3.)The mini fridge there in the corner makes me nervous. And I’m just looking at it–in a photo!
4.) Nothing cheapens a room like torchiere lamps.
5.) Is it just me or does anyone else, after looking at this picture, feel the need to go and take a shower?
Simply put, if this is how our muchacho chooses to keep his house, wouldn’t it stand to reason that his body parts are kept the same way? Dirty, funky & Nasty.
I am curious – should I be – about the surround system which has been pushed up next to the brown curtain. Could the curtain perhaps be a faux genteel way of keeping the television out of sight?
*I’m* curious about why he installed a ‘black light’ bulb in his bed-side lamp, for i think that’s what it is.
‘Oh yeah, i know it looks a bit grubby like this, but wait till i turn on the UV- that’s when the stars really come out.’
And rental- agreed. Only landlords employ painters who treat the meeting of wall and ceiling with such disdain.
In my experience, Latinos have beautiful feet. But this guy’s feet are as flat as Kansas. Uggh.
WTF! That’s what you get when you upgrade to the owner’s suite!?!?
THe only thing flatter than his feet is the crotch of his underoos.
It’s not just a fridge, it’s a kitchen table–hell, it IS the kitchen. I think that that dude live two houses down from me in one of those backyard shed things that you put your mower and your son’s broken hamster house/maze in.
Are those like some kinda scat tracks on new–just kinding–carpet? There’s no landlord or deposit to worry about. He’s just hoping to escape before the next session of sex with a broom stick and a dude dressed up like a pinata.
Much to his chagrin, and after sinking $75 into the lovely chair, Miguel discovered that Naugahyde and swamp coolers can’t coexist- You’ll stick every time.
Vote for Pedro
dear lord, the posters on the walls r amazing, my beloved Mexico, only u can produce such a tastefull grafic art. (BTW: i’m mexican)
