5 Things You Would Learn About me by Visiting my House

5 Things You Would Learn About me by Visiting my House

Trisha at MomDot is hosting a fun link-up today titled “5 Things you would learn about me if you walked through my house”. I just had to participate, so here’s my top 5 list:

1. My decor style is one part elegance…

Chandelier

…and one part Flavor Flav clocks.

Flavor of Love Clock

Fun fact: I won this clock in a Flavor Flav trivia contest on MySpace! How can that sentence sound so dated when it was only a few years ago?!

2. I use my Care Bears as mannequin heads to store my wigs on.

Why yes, that IS a Lindsay Lohan doll you spot in the background!

Fun fact: When I worked part-time in retail, I wore wigs so that I could dye my real hair colors like Ronald McDonald red and purple while still complying with dress code. If anyone says they can’t have the hair they want because of their job…they just haven’t gotten creative enough! 😉

3. I really like Keanu Reeves cough, cough, I mean The Matrix.

  1. I love your Care Bears! I have a whole trunk full of them from my daughter 🙂 And Kean… I mean, The Matrix is a pretty hot movie 🙂

  2. Ohhhh….I LOVE Maroon 5. I also love Thor which is why I have a poster of him in my office. Glad to know I’m not the only one with movie posters on their walls.

  3. LOL you guys! I’m loving all your funny comments. Deb, I am so glad that there is another adult with movie posters as part of their decor…this is just a small selection of the posters I have hanging up. Ha!!

  4. Man… MySpace… those were the days! I remember that being the coolest thing ever and if you didn’t have one, you were lame. Now it’s just for artists and bands and no longer about stalking your crush or filling out surveys.

  5. Did I spot a tiara?! Very nice. I love your mix of elegance and kitschy fun. My Hubby used to own a movie theatre, then a video store, and now manages an independent movie theatre, so he is in possession of lots and lots of posters. Thankfully, he has an office at the theatre where he can put as many as he wants up. When he retires, we’ll have to create a ‘man cave’ for him at home so he can put up his posters. In the video store we owned he ‘papered’ the ceiling with movie posters. Just a thought… in case you run out of wall space. 😀 I sure enjoyed those ‘Matrix’ posters – always nice to look at. ummm… Matrix.

  6. Girl! I want that tiara! I used to wear wigs when I was young because they were so silky smooth and my hair is a bush in humidity.

  7. Here all the time I was limiting myself to one wig because I only had one wig head! Now I can go borrow my grand daughter Care Bears and throw caution to the wind! Loved the wig story!

  8. LOVE the wigs! And that is very creative of you to stay in compliance with the dress codes. Too bad many don’t think out of the box like that today!

  9. This was such a fun blog hop. I loved seeing all your homes and your comments are cracking me up! Love it!

    Patti – I am seriously thisclose to papering the ceiling for real! LOL!

    Grace – Totally! The wig thing is kind of addictive. I ended up buying three of them. The third is hanging off my bass guitar because I ran out of Care Bears…LOL!!!!
