D+G in the village

Only Dolce & Gabbana can make a summer time 'Festa' from all the little villages around Italy a bright light extravaganza or window display.  Hello Italian summer childhood, it's the 90s again and they are pumping it like no other Versace gem encrusted loving supermodel fan (with black velvet).  Yes, that's right ordinary garlic strands, fruit and veg are now considered genius window display.  Oh please, oogly boogerly.

It all just screams out 'George Michael' like a men's public toilet at 2am in the morn.

Vintage Reel

This is so fabulous I just want to vomit sparkle rainbows all over the joint.  If I ever look like a peppermint stick shoot me already!  I love the way a gaudy print is considered to be a fashionable statement hood included.  Now a gaudy print is a New Jersey Shore nickname.

Eternal Flame

As a dear friend of mine pointed out to me Prada is my animal spirit label, though I can not afford you I think dearly of you.  You are the flame of desire.  Hmmmm pretty.

Why and how I know all the words to this song baffles the mine but hell it makes a for a good case.  Wholesome 80s for ya.

The real reason

The real reason to go to the Fuori Salone is to peak into spaces and offices that are usually offlimits.  Screw the rather dubious 'muscle relaxer' that possibily doubles as sex toy apparatus or the barefoot sock booties trapped in fetish rubber lines and straps or the over priced bamboo chicness.  Just give me some damn pimping 18th century wallpaper, frescos and beautiful staircases, crystal chandeliers and neck aches from looking up. 

 

Charmed but not delighted

My favourite so far (Fuori Salone): Cuteness, when it's small and nostalgic, you can't help but be enchanted by it's quaintness.  The saddest part was when I returned only after an hour it was destroyed....You bastards, free art can't even be appreciated or respected.  My fists wave bitterly unto yee insolent heathens I fart in your general direction.

Milano Furniture Week 2012 - Fuori Salone Part1

This has been my third Milano Furniture Week and by far, so far that is, the worst of the lot...The same old shit, different year.  What's to blame?  European economic crisis?  Laziness?  Lack of stimulation, direction?  When times get tough, that's when you pull out the big thinking guns, no?  Fuck, I hope today's adventure gets better.
