Aren't we done with the animal thing yet?

I hate them, but I would probably get them because my partner would love them. Sigh...

I've noticed that the only people who like animal prints are old, rich ladies who wander the upscale shopping malls wishing they (the prints or the ladies?) were still relevant.

Reminds me of that sterotyped 70's pimp on Starsky & Hutch (the original).

I like the sheets.

I think there's something cute about a little flash of print like that, especially in my room which is pretty austere with lots of wood and white. I'd love to pull back the covers and have super soft cotton leopard print sheets surprise me every night.

It's not the animal association (I don't wear fur) it's more that it has become a symbol of 'quirky' and 'bold' - maybe even to the extent of being campy. But I like it.

Oh, and I'm about the farthest thing you could imagine from an "old rich lady wandering an upscale shopping mall"

Isn't there a posting on one of the AT sites today about a Zebra rug?

These posts belong together. ;->

...layered with an equally exotic print, something geometric / Morrocan/ Indian might flatter these prints. Create sort of a richly layered palette for the boudoir. I think they will work in the right composition. I shy away from Pottery Barn but I will go and check them out. I've had my eye out for quite some time for something to go with my Northern India bed set. Otherwise I love all the cracks made about them here. Funny people. :)
