Why do you have on glasses?

Are the glasses really part of the ensemble? 

Or, are you just geting lazy?

And a black t-shirt? 

--so "Angelina Goes Grocery Shopping." 

Where are your $900 hot pink muck boots?

This is nothing that a little paint,

some real candles,

and a few more crystals wouldn't make heart-rendingly lovely...

Simply Chic

The bulb is your soul....

"Claire de Lune" Chandelier, by Claire Requa

via Etsy

(via Eunice!)

It's the color of the bulb that makes me dizzy with bliss--

without that, this would be almost nothing....

I would cover the cord in ruched chocolate brown (not dove grey, maybe blood red) velvet......and not silk dupioni...

because this chandelier almost avoids every cliche

...and the photo kills me and forces me back in utero to contemplate samsara

My legs totally look like this...

"Green Chandelier" by Michelle Kaufmann

When I start hanging baby jars from trees, someone shoot me...

(actually, I like this...it's bohemian....and what are those wires?  Spun gold?  Rope?)

Day of the Dead

from the The Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic

***

One of the most fascinating artistic works inside the Sedlec Ossuary is the big chandelier of bones that lies in the center of the Church of Bones. The immense chandelier contains at least one of every human bone.

Come look at my chandeliers...

I think this is less a chandelier and more a prop from a science fiction movie, no?  Silicon-based creatures oozing their mind-altering juices from the ventilation ducts....

This does not seem very conducive to study and quiet reflection, to me. 

This seems very "a big thing is about to fall on my head and I'm scared....and it's way bright, and I'm trippin'..."

Stick this spoon...

So pretty!

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (times infinity)

Lesson: Just because you thought of something doesn't mean you must make it...and display it!!

I want to say to y'all that it's getting harder and harder to find nice looking chandeliers (!)
