artist rachel de joode's glam-tastic wallpaper is lovely from afar, but upon closer inspection, it's simply seductive. each provocative pattern is composed of gorgeous gals whom rachel meticulously posed and photographed. she then manipulated each image to create a kaleidoscopic effect.
rachel's wallpaper is sold, produced & distributed via soonsalon.
MORE of rachel de joode wallpaper designs, including a male motif, after the JUMP.
(thank you, mr. blandings, for tipping me off to rachel's work!)

sometimes drinking and hunting don't mix, but sometimes they're right on target.
case in point, these gamely black glass shot glasses by goody grams. each glass sports a pewter animal head which, when flipped, is specially designed to balance on its nose and ears/horns.
during off season, however, these glasses can also double as candle holders or paperweights. choose from a bull, bear, moose, deer or rhinoceros.
available at A+R.
at new york fashion week, anna sui served up a whorange-infused, craveable, top-shelf cocktail of a runway show. anna's south american inspired, ready-to-wear collection for spring '09 wants to be on my body so badly, it hurts. sometimes it's difficult being a fashion muse. it really is.
back in april, WHORANGE encouraged all of you poodles to sock away your savings in case of an emergency or a much needed manicure. wall street was looking tipsy at the time, and unfortunately, it's now a big tranny mess.
if april's piggy-bank-a-go-go didn't get your pennies in a bunch, maybe this collection of cash catchers will put you in the mood. with the economy the way it is now, coin-on-coin action has never sounded sweeter.
no doubt about it...saving is the new sexy.
clockwise from top left: unbook bank/bookend (81.00); doggie bank (57.00); notneutral chick piggy bank (20.00); amigos pig (60.00); superbitus (27.73); dwellstudio elephant (86.00); koin wood bank (119.00).

while cruising for love and muses on design crisis yesterday, i spied some mighty fine butterflies constructed from vintage maps.
these delicate little dandies underwent their magnificent metamorphosis via london-based artist joseph lucien warren. joseph debuted his winged creatures in 2007 for a london art show called "the butterfly effect."
beginning next month, selected butterfilies will be available for purchase through joseph's website imagesurgery.com.
who knew geography could be so flutteriffic!
