“Goodness! That Brenda sure is on the ball. I can barely leave the house with my shoes and handbag matching and here she’s gone and coordinated her whole living room with the outfit she has on.”
“I know! And she does it all with such effortless ease too!”
“Effortless ease – that’s exactly what I was thinking! Now do you see why I never invite Brenda over for coffee at my house?”
Efortless ease and a little blue pill.
Maybe that’s where she got the whole color scheme idea?
Her face looks like it came from Madame Trousseau’s House of Wax. But then, again, maybe it’s frozen in horror from looking at that “painting”.
It’s simply amazing what a little Valium and a limited color wardrobe can do. And hey, her husband is blue-green colorblind, so he just thinks everything is black and white, and he’s so much happier that way.
Say what you will about Brenda, (I never much cared for the type myself) but I MUST have that suit! Let me know when the next round of pattern purging begins.
Are those gloves or a riding whip she is holding? And Yes! on the little blue pill comment!!!
If you make the suit, ShannonAnn, you must also remove the bones from your left ankle so you can strike that pose with effortless ease.
Brenda has toe cleavage. And a big old bandaid on her knuckle. Don’t know what that adds up to, just pointing out the facts.
RST
Band-aid? That’s a secret amulet ring she uses to call up the Dark Lord.
How else could she get her hair that way… so effortlessly!
Unfortunately, the blue kids are starting to get “ripe,” if you know what I mean.
That terrible potted plant makes it look like a waiting room. In hell where the wall, ceilings and floors all melt into one grey expanse. And things just hang there in the greyness.
I remember those wing chairs, BTW! My cat used our gold brocade one as a scratching post.
I love that you can see the wires above the picture. Nail holes just wouldn’t do. You can almost see the wires holding up that little poof in her hair, too.
Bah – invite brenda around for coffee as often as you like. As soon as she sees that not only does she clash with your furniture, but it isn’t even co-ordinated within itself – stand back and enjoy the free entertainment as the conniptions start!
“Schlumpfe” is the German word for Smurf.
What the *#&%$ is that picture in the background?? If you stand waaay back, it SORTA looks like peacock. Mostly, it looks like something you’d see smeared on the wall of a public loo after a rambunctious night involving a lot of booze and several takeaway kebabs.
You didn’t know about Jackson Pollock’s low-price line of art for Target? You should have seen Salvador Dali’s line. They had to scale down, of course, to keep it cost effective…the clocks weren’t actually melting, just gently warmed. But still, so fabulous!
Ack! My mom had a sofa sectional with the same print as that chair. Hated it then, hate it now. Actually, add some harvest gold to the mix and you have my mom’s living room. Mom never wore her hair that way but I can so see her wearing that outfit to church.
Brenda simply lacks any imagination. I wouldn’t invite her over, either!
“Effortless Ease” does lead one to question whether there is such a concept as “Effortful Ease” (isn’t that an oxymoron?). “Effortless” is superfluous – and lacking in imagination, as Gwyn noted.
My imagination wants to put red in this picture – some big splotches of red. It cries out for red. There’s Brenda’s lipstick, of course, but it isn’t enough – it isn’t nearly enough to counter the blue-green lack of imagination and creativity.
She reminds me of Elizabeth Collins in “Dark Shadows”. Maybe she looks so smug because she finally got a decorator in to redo the Gothic mansion.
i personally like the floating-on-wires artwork in the background. and the lack of walls in Brenda’s “living room”.
Surely this is Paris Hilton’s mother? Check out the eyes, the smile…
“Hello, is this A-1 Model Management? We’re looking for a matron. Only the matronliest matron will do. She also needs to look smug.”
Her room has no edges or corners!!!!! Arrrrrrrrrrrahhhhh! And her painting (obvi made by her “special” other son) is hanging away from the… there’s no wall!!!!!!
