[A GIRL CAN DREAM] Deluxe Stratocaster Table 

I always wanted a guitar but my father refused to buy me one because he didn't want me to become a "beetnik" (his words, also, my father was born in 1960). 

Now all of my guitar dreams can come true with this Fender Stratocaster coffee table.

Oh wait, they can't come true, because it costs $949.

Oh well, a girl can dream, right?

[ed note: OK, true confessions: I kinda hate the shit outta this, but I'm gonna let it slide cause I'm kewl like that].

[CATALOGGED] Restoration Hardware: The Spring Collection

Listen, I like Restoration Hardware.  Some of their stuff is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.  But sometimes they take the distressed, restored, refurbished schtick a little too far.  Incorporate a few pieces and your place will look chic.  Buy a few too many, and your place will look like you're about to go on an expedition to determine whether the world is round.

[THINGS IN HIS HOUSE THAT MAKE ME SAD] A Clackity Dell Desktop

There are many things in his apartment that make Anna Goldfarb from Shmitten Kitten sad (sometimes glad, but mostly sad). She's promised to tell us all about them (yay!).

Oh my god, I hate your computer. No one owns a Dell on purpose unless you're an NYU student in 1997. Just typing my username into Gmail feels like I'm playing a sticky instrument. Ewwww!

Does this piece of shit only run Internet Explorer?

[GIFTED] Custom Sigg Bottles

Need to buy a gift for someone? Here's some shit that might actually work (you're welcome).

I'm mostly pretty fucking lazy. And true confessions, that trait doesn't go along too well with being green. But yeah, I try, and I recycle, and I even bought those goddamned CFL's for our lamps that take a million years to warm up and turn on, so I don't totally suck.

So yeah, we all need our own water bottle (say no to plastic!) and this custom Sigg version from Cafe Press is pretty friggin kewl.

[DESIGN CRUSH] Ellen Matthews, SNL Photog

l've always loved the photographs shown during the commercial breaks during SNL...like sometimes more than the actual show. And thanks to I Heart You, a chick who is way the fuck less lazier than I am, I now know these photographs are taken by Mary Ellen Matthews.
