Remember how we all agreed to a new AT drinking game? How every time you saw an animal taxidermy (real or fake) on the wall, you had to chug? I quit. This overdone taxidermy trend would ultimately land me in the Betty Ford Center.

I just wrote a piece about the taxidermy / antler trend. I have very mixed feelings about it - I love the look but I do think it can have a creepiness factor. Generally, I love it (especially the vintage stuff).
