Sorry that yesterday's email didn't come through! There were numerous technical problems that have now been solved, so today you're going to get a DOUBLE HEADER - yesterday's Shimna Furniture and today's special treat.... a new, unique piece of furniture (above) which has the sole intention of improving your sex life (and which everyone seems to be talking about)...
Last week I emailed on Margaret Roach's New Gardening Blog, A Way to Garden (see below).

Did you guys Paint her a bra and undies? (first pic)
uh... heh.. while i admire your 'dressing' miss lady godiva up there.. why even include her at all? isn't there a different pic of that item elsewhere? wow.
Looks like a wood version of the Liberator curvy sex furniture thing.
It's lacking tie-down points.
Max, is that a Barbarella reference? Love it!
she looks like she is wearing fur lingerie, very cave woman esque.
and yeah it looks like a liberator just slightly fancier. although the wood sides on this doesn't look like an improvement on liberators all soft and cushy product
Ewww... On so many levels.
Its not that I am against aparatus to make the experience better, but I wouldn't want anything that would need to be explained to my parents sitting out in the open. (I have a friend that keeps a sling in the closet, and told his parents that the four eye bolts in the ceiling were there when he moved in.)

I really enjoyed the above...
wtf? ...and why is it always Maxwell who posts these sexed up images of women?
That's a bit trashy for this website. Have a little class, please.
I am assuming people are talking about this after the article in Sunday's Styles section of the NY Times. I must admit, I talked about it a bit.
How dare you publish something related to sex????
this is UNAMERICAN!!!!
please, calm down people.
Devyn, are you sure it's a "friend" who has the bolts in the ceiling?
When you paint the eyebolts to match the ceiling you'd be surprised how they disappear.
I've always longed for some exposed I beams, they make things so much easier.
I enjoyed the Times article, because I thought it was an interesting story, but honestly, there is something really creepy about these posts, and the fact that they are always posted by Maxwell.
It's not the sex, it's the sexism.
Why is it always a naked *woman* draped across the chair/car/etc. ?
The iconic photograph of Christine Keeler posing on an Arne Jacobsen knock-off in 1963, taken by Lewis Morley.
"Devyn, are you sure it's a "friend" who has the bolts in the ceiling?"
It is indeed a friend... My plaster ceilings barely hold the plaster up.
...or, you know, just check out Maxwell's past posts (e.g. LED bikini, sweaty half-dressed woman with Eames chair, etc.) for other examples.
Yeah, but well he is a guy, he is sexist by design as in heterosexual guy loving female body. I wouldn't object to male sexism either. bring it on! :p
I want to hear more about the closet sling person.
I've decided to live with these sexist images by realizing they are thrown in for the comfort of the metrosexual men who need reassurance they haven't gone totally gay (yet).
I vote for more hunky men in boxers.
you know, i think a lazy boy recliner has the same general shape. you can't straddle it as easily, but if you have someone under you, it's not that much of a problem...
