Fellas living with froufrou?

[jamespowers]

I'll say it, just don't hit me with your purse.

Maybe I will have to post the Corsican Sheep then.

Taxidermy actually doesn't bug me that much. Its the bedroom aspect... I don't wanna get undressed in front of anything dead. And I don't want it watching me while I sleep.

Over a fireplace in the livingroom? Doesn't bother me a bit. Well, usually. I'd probably be sad if it was some kind of big cat. But a deer or sheep or something? That's ok.

Actually, in some cases, I think I would rather get undressed in front of taxidermy than some alternatives. :eusa_doh: They can't hurt you while you are sleeping or while you are getting undressed.
How about a bear skin rug in front of the fireplace as well? Javelina is always an interesting choice too.

J

Isn't javelina a pig? I don't eat pig so I wouldn't hunt pig.

How about if I shave the definition a bit? Its actually closer to a wild boar than a pig.
I can understand the pork thing though. There's nothing that says you can't have a taxidermied head of it though.
You didn't address the bear skin though. MMMMMM bear. Tastes like....well, bear.

Boars ARE pigs!

I wouldn't eat bear, either. Besides, bears are smart.

I eat venison though. And I could see myself going deer-hunting, eventually. There's plenty of white-tail around here.

Plenty of deer around here too. They're running around all over the place in fact.
When they built suburbia in the deer's turf, they never left,...

Have you been baiting your fridge again with deer treats?
Here comes one! Slam the door!

We were absolutely gobsmacked to find deer in our yard a couple time. The neighbors couldn't believe it. I mean, its not right in the city, but...its been built up for a really long time. We can't figure out where they're COMING from.

Yeah, it's freaky. I was always under the impression that deer were all but extinct in Ohio, I never saw one when I was a kid. I guess they've always been around, but now they have fewer places to hide.

No predators, lots of tasty exotic plants, who wouldn't move into the burbs?

All ya gotta do is grow a few flowers or something in the yard,....they will come.

There's no PARK of any size near here. They're waltzing down Rt. 73?!

Who needs a park?

The odd vacant lot, backyard hedges, landscaped businesses. I daresay if you look at a topo map and a satellite photo there's lots of greenery to live and move in.

I have to say I would not inflict pink or frou frou on my chap in the bedroom. It seems cruel and unusual punishment!

Thanks Miss Sis! I like my women feminine and to be girly-girls, but pink in the bedroom is too much for me!

 

[MrNewportCustom]

I surrendered on this topic. I just let my wife do whatever she wants with regards to interior decoration anywhere in the house. In fact I told her the house is hers.

One day I will buy my own place. No girls allowed!

If fate deals me an uppercut and KOs me into meeting someone who'd marry me, I'd tell her she can decorate the house and I'll decorate the garage.

The colors you've chosen wouldn't bother me at all, ohairas, if they'd also been chosen by my mate.

I think a good illustration of what could be called "frou-frou" can be seen in the photograph of the steak house at Madonna's Inn in San Luis Obispo.

There is a particular shade of pink that Mrs. Madonna was very fond of. Even the sugar at the tables is that pink. It is also much less red than how its shows on my monitor.

Haversack.

Valentine's Day 24/7/365!!

I forgot to mention my parents stayed in this room:

It had leather curtains when they stayed there though. [huh]
The Irish hills doesn't look too bad but it has to come with a fifth of whisky.

This just reminds me of how much taxidermy was used by the victorians. Women would put stuffed birds on their hats all the time, I've even seen a pic of one with a stuffed kitten!! I sure hope it was their beloved pet that didn't make it!
Nikki

A few years ago, I went to an exhibition on the Victorians in the V&A here in London. One exhibit they had was a kittens' wedding - the whole little chapel, wedding party and some guests and the vicar made with little clothes, all stuffed kittens. It looked really cute for all of thirty seconds before it became bvlindingly obvious how unlikely it was they'd have gotten that many kittens for it (about a dozen if memory serves) if they'd all died of natural causes. :cry:

I'd not be in the least bit threatened by a bit of pink and frou frou, but then I love kitsch and I spend a goodly proportion of my spare time in full Rocky Horror garb, so it's not as if I'm your average self-styled "real-man" anyhow....

Wow, talk about animal cruelty. Peta would be all over these people today
