[A Girl Can Dream] Linen Closets & Fitted Sheets

Do you know how to fold a fitted sheet? Cause I have no fucking clue.

And I've watched Martha Stewart demonstrate this shit on her show....and have even googled. But every time I try it, even after following all of the directions, shit doesn't come out looking neat. And so then I just give up and I end up with an ugly, amorphous ball of semi-folded but not really folded sheetage. And it bugs me.

Also sidenote: I can fold the HELL out of just about everything else. I'm talking, I've received unsolicited compliments from peeps at J. Crew-n-shit after looking at v-neck sweaters that I've folded back into place.

A good way to tell if you're rich in NYC is whether or not you have a linen closet. Some people barely have clothing closets, so linen closets are few and far between.

[A GIRL CAN DREAM] Property Furniture

Property Furniture—a New York City-based design house—has so much cool shit that I can't even contain myself.  Of course, as with all beautiful things, they're probably massively expensive, especially since none of these things come with a pricetag (I guess if you have to ask....).

[A GIRL CAN DREAM] Richard Branson's Limited Edition Getaways

Sir Richard Branson, the smarmy dickhead who has more money than God, has created seven "Limited Edition" getaways in the Virgin Islands, Morocco, Switzerland, London, South Africa, Mallorca, and London for himself, and row he's renting them out. 

We're talking private islands and shit.  I have to believe that their rates are a leeeeettle bit more than the Holiday Inn Express near the Newark Airport, so I won't be able to partake. 

BUT, you can always go there in your dreams.  Ah, yes, my dreams: where my life isn't a bottomless pit of muck and despair.

[A GIRL CAN DREAM] Everything in Lee J. Rowland's Collection

Lee J. Rowland, a London designer who creates all kinds of crazy tables that cost more than my parents' house, has captured my heart by creating two tables that 1.) allow you to store your hooch and keep in cold INSIDE the table and 2.) display profanity for everyone to see and get upset about.

[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].
