[Design on TV #2] Weeds

Design on TV is recurring column that allows TV fanatics to step into the world of their favorite TV shows by offering up a list of real-life items that will allow you to trick out your place in that show's signature fashion.  Some people call it an "homage." Some people call it "sick."  We call it "entertaining."

Design on TV #2: Weeds 

There are about a million cheesy things I could say about Weeds that would tie into the drug theme.  It's highly addicting, right?! LOL.  Give me a break.  It IS addicting, though—the show's creator, Jenji Cohen (am I the only person who reads that as "Jumanji" in my head?) originally introduced us to Nancy Botwin (Mary Louise Parker), a recent widow living in white suburbia.

Flowers Uncut

HOLY SHIT, I'm excited for this show: Flowers Uncut. In its second season, it's premeiring on TLC in November, and features "Rock-n-Roll Florist" Jeff Leatham. Apparently this dude used to be a male model and now he's some hotshot event designer.

Without having seen the first season yet, this has the makings of my FAVE REALITY TV SHOW EVER. I've mentioned before that I actually wanted to be a floral designer way back in the day (before I realized I was too lazy), and since I'm already obsessed with reality TV, this combo will surely rule my face. At least I hope.

[COOL SHIT] Dunk Mug

Listen up, cookie monsters.

The Dunk Mug, by UK designer Dominic Skinner is a big leap forward for people who have always wanted to put their snacks in secret compartments. 

The kitsch factor trumps practicality here—I mean, how hard is it to say, CARRY the cookies in your hand?  But points for creativity, for sure. 

And all of you left-handed hippies out there?  Don't worry, there's left-handed Dunk Mugs available as well, and they only cost 14 pounds!

Your munchies?  Officially cured.

[COOL SHIT] An Organized Desktop

If you're like me, your desktop normally looks like a total fucking disaster area. Sometimes I look at that shit, and then need to look away for a sec, so that my eyes can refocus and take it all in. Basically, if my desktop were a room in my hoom, you'd need to call the Health Dept on me.

Which is why I was I was so happy to find this post on Shelter Pop on organizing your desktop. I didn't even know that that was a thing that people did. But it sooo is!

And now your ass can do it too.
