"Bernice.....it's about your snout..."




 
I loved  the show 'Designing Women'  from the get go. Four smart, funny, sarcastic women who run their own interior design company (Sugarbakers). What's not to love? So many of the episodes are classic, but  the episode where Bernice gets a nose job tops my list.  Here's how it shook out.

Bernice surprises everyone at Sugarbakers with the news she is having plastic surgery to make herself look younger. After seeing a computerized reconstruction of her face, she insists on taking a loan against her life insurance policy to pay for the operation. However, when the surgeon makes her nose look like a pig's, everyone is afraid of telling Bernice the truth.
JULIA: I want you to bring her back here afterwards for a drink, and all of us will sit down and gently as possible just be honest with her.
SUZANNE:  Oh, that outta be easy. We'll just get her liquored up real good and say "Bernice......it's about your snout...." 

Below, I've rooted out some the best snouts in design. Enjoy.

Who wouldn't want a Pig Table to serve their guests? "Furniture to fall in love with at first sight or hate forever."

Last but not least.
 I would like to introduce you to "Flo". I bought this pig in China Town Chicago for my oldest daughter to save money for a cross county trip she and a friend were planning. The first coins to go in the slot  fell out her feet, they were covered with black tissue paper.. who knew? The trip never happened. Turns out Flo is not so good at saving money, what goes in, comes right out. But, she makes a good door stop, and oh what a face! LOVE.

I love knowledge Fridays

A is for Aspirin and ASS. It's beginning to feel a lot like the 1950's for women these days. Case in point, Foster Friess. He's the primary supporter of a pro-Santorum super political action committee. He  suggested on MSNBC that women use Bayer aspirin as a contraceptive.  Wow.  “This contraceptive thing, my gosh, it’s so expensive,” he told host Andrea Mitchell . “Back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.” In case your not completely clear on Satorum's view on contraception: Santorum has said that he is "not a believer in birth control" and believes it is "harmful" to both women and society.  And in October, Santorum discussed the "dangers" of contraception with an evangelical blog. "Many in the Christian faith have said, 'Well, that's okay. Contraception's okay," he said. "It...

On any given day

I wake up with one face. Fall asleep with another. I love faces. I always have. Most of the art in my home is a face of some sort.  Abstract, pop, outsider, or straight up real - I find them easy to live with and good company.     How about you?     A poem by Rainer Maria Rilke   Buddha In Glory     Center of all centers, core of cores, almond self-enclosed, and growing sweet-- all this universe, to the furthest stars all beyond them, is your flesh, your fruit. Now you feel how nothing clings to you; your vast shell reaches into endless space, and there the rich, thick fluids rise and flow. Illuminated in your infinite peace, a billion stars go spinning through the night, blazing high above your head...
