Really random in Rome



I wasn't prepared for this kind of pretty in Rome the Villa Borghese (Rome's central park) took my breath away. After I found it- it was the only place I wanted to be. Near the Modern art museum.
The flora and fauna in Rome was unexpected, to say the least...Seussian, tropical, with a dash of English garden....who knew?
This guy was Olympic level adorable...I'm in love with an 89 yar old man, and I'm not afraid to say it!
Cappuccino 1,9987.. I took almost all their portraits. I have never been, nor will ever be a crazy cat lady, ah ah ah achoooo...but, I could be a crazy cap lady!
Steam punkish, with an early 1960's backyard BBQ edge? Mad scientist or Mad Men? great store...high end recycleables like rubber band earirings and, I kid you not, the coolest Mother flicking purses with wait for it....car visor closures. You simply flip up the flap to get into your purse .You can check your lipstick in the visor mirror! Fantastico!

252 degrees of Happy Camper

They assure me spring will be making it's way to western Colorado any day now...that is what they say...or so it has happened in years past. My kiddo and I tried to take the tag-along bike out for a spin (we went by the Dennis Weaver Memorial Park and to the river to throw stones) and encountered some serious wind..a few days ago we were on the slopes on a frigid but beautiful day. I wear my snow boots one day and flip flops the next.....but soon we'll be camping again!
Hence these wild photos!
For this particular model...
I have so many questions! Apparently there is a screen so that when your camper is fully fanned out you won't be exposed to all the elements...just a screen? Perhaps an opaque-bullet proof shell might be a nice addition for privacy purposes. I mean really, if you pull up in this baby- the trailer court is gonna want a ride in yer fancy time machine!
That's why we usually use tents and never go to camp grounds....they feel like suburbia in the woods...I want o be alone with me and my tribe and our own obnoxious laughter and cryin' kids.

But if I did concede to a camper this one would be on my top 3 list...I still love the old air streams though...I'm often more of a mid-century modernist at heart you know!






Saw this first on yanko Design


If I'm still critiquing this little masterpiece I have to add that I might also want a little more vanity space to spread out all my devil paint and such....yes I wear make-up in the woods. Eye rolls accepted.
This really could revolutionize the way we travel.
