Let’s be the Worst Art Trends

When hubby and I bought our current house, for some odd reason the previous owners had decorated the guest bathroom as though it was right out of the 80s with purple paint, a tacky art-deco-inspired mirror, and gaudy fixtures. I wanted to keep it, hang Nagel prints, and put lines of baking soda disguised as coke on the sink countertop. Hubby was not amused.

From Joan Collins’s recently published diaries…her son Sacha on her new apartment in 1996: “Everyone finally left at twelve forty-five, not before Sacha said that the Patrick Nagels on my walls were ‘mired in the eighties’ and I had to get rid of them.”

They would be ironically hip now if they were framed and displayed right, although they will forever seem of the 1980s.

Black velvet paintings of Meso-American men holding a fainted beauty in his arms in the rugged outdoors.

Ubiquitous in Mexican restaurants to show it was an upscale place, not just a taco stand.

Lisa Frank. Yes she was for kids but it was horrible.

Yikes @r10. I feel like my eyeballs were just subjected to a football field of pink plastic flamingos.

For R1:

NPO, does that company also make a "PLEASE DON'T FLUSH FEMININE HYGIENE PRODUCTS DOWN THE TOILET" candle?

You could switch them out, depending on your company for the evening.

Dear OP. I'm delighted you stole my joke observation and linked photo exactly, from the "How gay is your life?" thread.
