Party! Party! Party!!!

As the great philosopher Madonna once said, "Strike a Pose, Vogue"...

 

Children, your motha has been to a couple of fab-u-lous parties this past week! Sashay... Shante... I met Ms. Ru P on the red carpet walking into the Taste of Atlanta Best of Atlanta Top 50 Restaurant soiree. Ms. Thing tried to let me have it about the shoes I was wearing. I had to tell that girl you should bow before a queen and sense you're 8 feet tall I know you would never bow before me so I did the next best thing, I put my heels on which made me 8 feet 6 inches tall, now what? Check mate! Anyway, children once we got inside the venue Ru was very complimentary on your mothas designing skills. The lounge was fierce honey! We walked through and sampled some of the best food. We dined from restaurants like Bones, Woodfire Grill, Fogo De Chao, Pura Vida and many many more. They also had a stage with a D.J. and a band so you know your motha had to twirl her life away.

 

We left there headed to the next shin dig which was The Atlanta Junior Leagues Tour of Kitchens held at the magnificent Guy Gunter showroom. This party's guest list had the who's who of ATL. We pulled up to valet in the green Hornet with smoke coming out the front as well as the back. We jumped out with wigs falling to the side and lip stick smeared screaming make way for the party girlz...

 

 

I think we scared some of the guest cause this one lady clutched her purse as we were walking by and I clutched my pearls as I was giving her the look over. Honey, she looked a mess. We socialized and ate and dance the night away. Children, I may have met husband number 13. As the sun was coming up me and Ms. Ru P fixed our fallen fake eye lashes, twisted our wigs to perfection and walked out of the party with one pump on and the other in hand singing Rump Shaker...

 

 

Until next time my party hungry diva's...

I'll holla!

Aladdin on Tufenkian air

OPEN SESAME!!!

 

Children I just finished watching Aladdin. One of my favorite movies. Honey the costumes are fierce and Jafar is a man after my own purse. That girl has the last pant suite with mamma's church hat to match, or maybe its a turban. Anyway, I felt so inspired, I got up to rub my own bottle just to get the last drop of Scotch but honey Ms. Genie popped out. I said, girl what you want? She was like in a deep baritone voice, to grant you three wishes. I don't know why Ms. Thang tried to man up cause everybody knows, we sista's... Three wishes?! I'm like lets get to it. My first wish, I want a Red Drop Top Ferrari. My second wish, I want a full length Mink coat to wear while driving the Ferrari and my third wish is to go on a magic carpet ride providing the carpet is manufactured by Tufenkian. That's right I said it, Tufenkian. Honey, your motha likes to ride in style so what betta rug to ride on than Tufenkian. Tufenkian rugs are Tibetan woven out of Nepal. They're generally constructed out of hand spun Wool, Silk or Hemp. Children these guys are the Bentley's of the rug world and they are parked at World of Rugs & Flooring.

The Genie is providing the wishes but he wants to drive. That's all I need is a Genie in Drag flying me around the world on a Magic Carpet cause she can't drive anyway. Always flying into temples and palace walls, make me sick... The last time this happened your motha got rug burn when we landed. I'm serious, it was too rough...

Alright then my flying sultan's...

I'll holla!

Smurf it!

La, La, La-La-La, La, La-La-La, La...

Great giant pine cones Papa Smurf, that oak tree is about to fall on the smurf village! Oh no Brainy Smurf! We have got to get the smurf out of here! No we can't Papa Smurf. No, not without Smurfette! Smurfette?! Smurf smurfette! Anyway, I thought you had the hots for Vanity Smurf! Well Papa Smurf I do. I just want to make sure I can get Smurfettes 8" smurfer pumps, they have a clear bottom. I want to wear them when I go to The Foundry. Even though I may have to find another mushroom pad I still want my decor to be smurfing fierce!

I hear they have the new Lexington group St. Tropez. The group has a chenille covered three over three track arm sofa, a fierce clover leaf occasional chair and a pair of slipper lattice back chairs. Seeing as Jokey Smurf is always giving the same old tired present that explodes at every event, when I have my house warming I'm not inviting him cause I don't want to have to punch him in his smurf, but just in case I'm purchasing some absolutely knock out looking cocktail and end tables that are antique gold with floating glass tops.

Dreamy Smurf watch out for that limb! Snore, snore.... Brainy Smurf, go smurf yourself and leave me alone! See what I mean Papa Smurf. You just can't be nice to smurfing Smurfs.

That's okay Lazy Smurf you're gonna want to lay on my new upholstery from Lexington Home Barclay Square. Down at the Foundry I've seen a T cushion Track arm sofa with fierce Zebra skin throw pillows married with a pair of embossed hounds tooth Wing Back Chairs with black pulled leather seats.

Papa Smurf if the tree falls on our village do you think Handy Smurf will be able to repair everything?! I don't know Brainy but I will tell you he don't want to come near you because he says you keep trying to smurf him. What?! Well Handy is Smurfing smurf as all smurfs. Brainy Smurf! You should be ashamed of yourself! Why Papa Smurf? If the furniture could talk in my mushroom hut.

The Outside N bedroom group that has two different nightstands and a dresser with matching gentleman's chest all of which have powdered covered surfaces and black marble tops with reversed ogee edges manufactured by Schnadig would tell you how Clumsy Smurf is not so clumsy, (wink, wink!) and how Dreamy Smurf acts out his smurfs sometimes with whips and chains.

Yesssss Papa Smurf you have a village full of Smurfs, sad to say, a village full of Smurfs... I mean what do you expect with a village full of male smurfs and one drag queen smurf, you know Smurfette thinks that she is a real woman...

Smurf you later my little Smurfs!
I'll holla!

Robo Moves

Hello children. It's your long lost mother. Yes, yes... I'm still around. Aging but still kickin. Everything is sagging but I'm above ground. I look in the mirror and see- Eyes Without A Face. I love that song! Anyway, let me tell y'all about the new new.

"You're coming with me Cain dead or alive, dead then!" Oh, sorry children I had a laps back to my Robo Cop days. Speaking of Robo we have a line of metal furniture manufactured by Go Home. There is a metal console storage unit on wheels and a military lock box that's been turned into a cocktail table. Can you say Rage Against The Machine? Go Home also has an extensive accessory line. There are some 17th century replicated European wooden puppets, large architectural finials, dark amber Apothecary vials and a host of other paper weights and other trinkets from them.

The long and short of it, beauty queen, if looks could kill and open & closed case. Gee whiz children that'll make one think they're in a 007 movie, Bond, James Bond... Those are just some of the hot names from Schnadig's Caracole division. We have sofa's and lounge chairs designed so your mother can sit back and get a well deserved foot massage. Have we seen any of the latest old spice commercials and the spoke person for them? Need I say more?

Four Hands are betta than two or in this case the importer Four Hands. They have graced our showroom with a sofa and matching chaise covered in grey velvet upholstery. Through the looking glass or Lucite... There are Lucite dining chairs and Lucite lounge chairs from Four Hands mixed throughout the showroom. Also, we have some blue lights in the basement party bar stools covered in a black vintage riding leather with silver nail head trim.

I'll holla!

Frances the frilly fairy

Gather round little children and pay attention.

This is the story of Frances the frilly fairy.

Frances was about 3 feet tall and had a waist line of 50 inches. He had purple pinkie finger length hair and oceanic green eyes that glowed when he was excited or amused. His skin was as pale as tooth paste and not the kind with the mint speckles in it either. Anyway, he wore a red tutu and had a very deep bullfrog sounding voice. He would hop when he walked. Frances would grant three wishes to anyone who would do the forbidden dance.

Twirl around like Wonder Woman and shake your shimmy and I will grant you your wishes Frances would say. Abracadabra, Bee, Pow your wish is my command!

New upholstery! New Upholstery! NEW UPHOLSTERY?! What kind of crap is that?! Your wish is to have new upholstery? Oh, you didn't say new upholstery by Southern Furniture Company. The hot new Shelter styled sofa with a rococo seat and polished nail head detailing. Floating through the air at the Foundry is a tight back sofa in a grey Tweed that has three toss pillows. They also have a pair of beautiful chocolate flavored changing ottomans to tickle your fancy.

Speaking of tickle, Abracadabra, Bee, Pow your second wish is my command!

You want to dash off to Asia for a vacation? How about I get you a plane ticket from Delta. I hear they fly none stop to Beijing or you could just take the Orient Express that way you will get to see all the new items they have hot off the presses. They have a few occasional tables made out of some exotic fruit wood and industrial metal. They have cocktail tables, end tables and console tables as well as a few accessories.

You know Frances, you can be kind of scary when you want to be. Just then Frances the Frilly Fairy rose up with a large cloud of dust particles, smoke, bookcases, etageres and tables of all types by Sarreid, LTD that spun all around him as he reached towards the sky and yelled out ABRACADABRA, BEE, POW!!! Your third and final wish is granted!

But I hadn't said...

Shut up you foolish mortal! I said your final wish is granted! You're making wishes for furniture when I know what you really want.

What is it that I really want?

You really want... You really want... You really want to look like me and be me. YOU hater!!!

Children, don't you just love my stories?

Until next time my little fairies and y'all know we have some here, outside of myself of course.

I'll holla!

The Grinch that tried to steal Christmas

You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch! You have termites in your smile. You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Gri-inch! Given the choice between the two of you, I'd take the uh... seasick crocodile.

Now Cindy Lou Who, you know that the Grinch is too old for you. I'm a tell yo momma! I'm a tell yo daddy! Um huh. Girl lets get all three of them together and sleigh ride on down to The Foundry where we can party like its 1999, oh I forgot, we've been doing just that. Anyways the store is jammed packed with new items

The shipment of A&B Home accessories and accent furnishings is in da house! We have faux foliage, pigs that fly made of tin, refined platters and gravy bowls. We have venetian style mirrored end tables, tin top picnic tables and folding cafe tables. There are flame-less candles and mini voguing birds. Totally AWESOME DUDE!!!

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch/ You're the king of sinful sots/You're heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots/ Mr. Gri-inch!/ You're three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

Now Mr. Grinch honey, you may be all of those things but you're not gonna give me too much! We'll take a walk to the front of the store where they have a fierce two piece grey and fuchsia cuddle sofa by Lexington Home Furnishings married with the matching jacquard upholstered chair. There is a Tommy Bahama plantation style canopy bed and night stand that that old Grinch would try and stuff up some-body's chimney. Why Mr. Grinch are you suggesting that we step into the rear of the store? Yea, to take a look at all of the new Vanquard sofa's and chairs and even the accent tables. Thom Felicia, he's a handsome lil devil honey.

Mr. Grinch and Cindy Lou Who, are you guys trying to run off together? You should stop and smell the roses or at least stop and look at the hot Leftbank Art that's all around the Foundry's showroom. We have gallery wrapped canvases with impressionistic scenes on them. We also have abstract scenes with floating 3" framing.

How did the Grinch steal Christmas? Did he slither down from his mountain fortress to Whoville to steal all of the zoozit or kazay? Did he intercept Santa and hog tie him to a tree? Or did he eat up all of the Roast beast and Who pudding?

Children I don't know but if any man comes into my house trying to stuff anything up my chimney we're gonna have some serious problems. LOL!!! Who am I kidding? Y'all know me, it depends on the man.

Until next time children.
Have a fantastically Merry Christmas!


I'll holla!

The Great Pumpkin

On the day of giving thanks the Great Pumpkin will rise out of the pumpkin patch. He flies through the air and brings toys to all the children of the world. 

Linus, good grief. I think you're confusing Halloween with Thanksgiving and you know Turkeys can't fly. Charlie Brown, you block head!

What can fly out the doors at World of Rugs & Furniture are the new items they have in. They have a fierce wall hugging sectional by Sherrills Motion Craft division that is a full size sleeper on one end and a electric recliner on the other.

They also have a few occasional chairs that are stylized and ready to be taken over the river and through the woods to grandmother house they'll go. These chairs are made by who else, Bernhardt Interiors of course and will look fabulous with the other pieces of plastic covered goods at grandma's. Children don't act. You guys remember the plastic that covered your parents and grandparents upholstery back in the early 70's?

Speaking of plastic, they've gotten some more synthetic flowers from Kalalou over in the accessory area. COFFEE! COFFEE! COFFEE! No. No. No. Coffee table books. There are some good ones here in the showroom that have fantastic graphics.

Lets hop on the Great Pumpkin and fly over to Asia to meet with the fierce Vivian Tam. She has graced our showroom with two high back club chairs with a historic Asian symbol embroidered on the back of the chair.

Children the Great Pumpkin is excited about Thanksgiving mainly because she gets to rest. Oh, I thought y 'all knew. The Great Pumpkin is a she. I couldn't tell until last week we went shopping in Lenox Mall and she wanted to stop in the Fendi boutique to look at some stiletto's.

Ha!!! I bet Linus didn't know that!

Until next time my little Turkey's
Gobble, gobble honey...

I'll holla!
