darlings...the coveteur.  if you have ever fantasized about rummaging through the closets and homes of your fave designers, artists, and fashion editors, then you'll want to hitch a ride with the coveteur. 

the coveteur will raid closets, extract booty, display booty, shoot booty, and then post it to their gorgeous blog for our voyeuristic pleasure.

thanks, coveteur!

this week, they dug through the closet of hubbies jonathan adler and simon doonan.  gems were uncovered (of course) including the head of his purple majesty himself -- prince.

kittens, this weekend, the new york senate passed the same sex marriage bill!  this is truly an historic moment and a triumph for equality and freedom.

three years ago, california legalized gay marriage, only to have it overthrown.  it was absolutely heartbreaking and infuriating.  i hope new york becomes a trailblazer for california and for the rest of the country.

congratulations, new york!  to say "i heart you" is an understatement.

kittens, this 1958, one-bedroom home went up for sale last week and i have already envisioned where i'd pose every morning with my coffee and hot rollers.

the window-clad, 1026 square foot, compact wonderland is located in my hometown neighborhood of silverlake and was build by frank lloyd wright's apprentice allyn morris.

above left is where i'd sip my coffee while tweeting about the butterflies and unicorns frolicking in my side yard.  life would be good.

the asking price:  668,000 clams.

there was an open house yesterday, however, i missed it due to father's day.  yep, in the land of WHORANGE, fabulous dads always trump fabulous architecture.
