Retail Therapy - Kartell Ghost Chair

I am smitten with this mod line!  Phillipe Starck designed the amazing "Ghost" series of furniture for Kartell - including the iconic Louis Ghost Chair.

I just purchased the Victoria Ghost Chair, which is an armless version of the Louis, to pair with a sleek black writing desk in my home library.  It is a spectacular and unexpected combination of a clean, modern aesthetic and a traditional shape.

While I love the simplicity of the Ghost Chairs on their own, how delicious is the Louis with an airy slipcover?

If the Shoe Fits, Buy It! Prada peeptoe with patent knot

Perfectly precious palest pink patent Prada platform peeptoes!  Picture these with a little, black, boatneck, knee-length dress - wouldn't that be just heavenly!?  I think I'm in looooove.

The Friday Fivesome - Places you don't want to run into your parents

Drumroll, please... introducing... The Friday Fivesome!

I know that this has traditionally been Feed Me Friday, but the lusty food whore in me has demanded that I create a separate new blog devoted entirely to my culinary adventures - so please help The Faux Paw Blog welcome The Friday Fivesome into your lives!

To get really entertaining, this will require some reader participation.  Each week will feature a different category of fivesome, and I request that my loyal readers post their own version of the fivesome in the comments... I'll tell you my five if you'll tell me yours!

Fivesome of the week: Places you don't want to run into your parents

1. Deja Vu (aka "The Vu")
2. The Olive Garden
3. Planned Parenthood
4. Dick's Old-Timey Nudist Colony
5. Highway rest stop, stall number four, next to the phone number for Sea Bass

What are the five places where you wouldn't want to run into your parents?

Throwback - Fisher Price 1-2-3 Roller Skates

I am definitely dating myself here (and why wouldn't I date myself, I'm fabulous!), but I definitely had these bad boys when I was a kid.  The Fisher Price 1-2-3 roller skates were h. o. t.

Yes, children, back in the olden days we didn't have shoes with built-in wheels like you modern day younguns - we had to strap these bulky plastic wheels over our regular shoes in order to roll uphill both ways, through snow, to get to school every morning.  And guess what?  I loved every single second that I was wearing these death traps!

WTF? Placenta teddy bear

Okay, this is just straight up nas-tay... this teddy bear is  made from a placenta!  Yes, I said placenta. Are you still with me here? Don't be fooled - even though it looks like a leathery empanada bear, it is indeed crafted solely from afterbirth. Could anyone please explain to me why this is a good idea?

Why?

WHY?!!?!

I need to go have a serious talk with my uterus now, just to be sure it's not hatching some kind of crazy plan behind my back.
