 haven't done one of these in a while..

 

atlanta representin'..

vintage burl wood table- $195

this is quite unique and pretty.

 

 

upholstered king headboard- $50

can't beat that price.

spend more on fabric. yes.

 

 

marble and wood console table- $225

if i had $225 i would buy the fart out of this table and paint it white white white

then throw my bar dreams together on top of it.

 

 

dining set- $90

that is just a great price for a whole lot of awesome.

 

 

pair of asian embroideries- $65

these are also awesome.

 

 

bamboo hutch- $150

this is waiting for just about any color paint.

i would go with glossy black and some brass or faux horn hardware.

 

 

pair of vintage faux bamboo tables- $250

if these were $150 i would be all up in them.

 

 

as always..

i will craig up your craig should you need some awesome shit.

 

 

super sparkles,

real hippie mom shit

it's monday again.

 

time for home remedies that work.

 

i am old which means i have been using these remedies for a spell <----(old people talk)

and they work.

every time.

 

#1.

it's pink eye season.

the little ones always bring that shit home.

but save yourself a trip to the doctor and a useless round of antibiotics that only serves to bring that shit back again and again.

instead use my hippie home remedy...

 

eyebright tea!

you can order it here and here.

 

you could use tea bags i suppose but i have always used the loose variety.

here's what you do...

 

begin to boil some water in a kettle.

put 1 tablespoon of eyebright into a teapot or something that it can steep in (a large coffee mug will do).

once water is almost to the boil (not rolling)

pour 1 cup over the herb.

cover the teapot/mug so it can steep, for 5-10 minutes.

strain into a jar or something with a tight fitting lid (not plastic).

let it cool a bit and then stick in the fridge.

once it has cooled considerably

dip a cotton ball in the tincture and squeeze excess liquid into the pink eye victim's eye.

i do this twice a day or more depending on the severity of the pink eye.

always before bed.

tip: i find letting them do it themselves is much more successful.

just stick around to see that they get the liquid in their eye.

then offer a towel to wipe up the drips.

do this every day until the pink eye is gone.

and it will be.

gone.

 

 

#2.

tummy troubles.

low energy.

hangover.

diarrhea.

food poisoning.

toxin removal.

all of these can be alleviated with the use of 

umeboshi plums.

 

while they taste like a goat's taint,

they really do work.

 

they've been around for thousands of years and are used much the same way an aspirin is used.

 

for low energy i brew some kukicha twig tea and drop 1 whole plum in the bottom

let steep for 5 minutes, drink the tea and then eat the plum's flesh and suck on the seed for about 10 minutes.

letting it sit in the tea helps to dilute the plum's extremely salty taste.

 

for nausea, overeating, hangover etc..

i nibble on 1 plum a little bit at a time.

and then suck on the seed once it's gone.

if you find you can't do this bc they are too strong, just stick to the tea method.

 

the plums, while very acidic going down are extremely alkaline once inside your body. 

 

they are not cheap, like 15$ for the box.

but they last a long time.

i use this kind:

available at whole foods.

 

 

and 

#3.

the best sore throat remedy i've ever come across:

apple cider vinegar.

 

it has to be this kind though,

the kind "with the mother"-

that floaty loogie looking shit at the bottom.

 

gargle with this 4 times a day.

 

it's also good dropped into the ears for earaches.

 

 

that's some real hippie mon shit ya'll.

 

believe in it.

 

and don't you go dyin' on me!!

 

 

in case you were wondering..

 of the 3 of these faux fur throws from west elm...

 

this one is the least softest..

but it's the same price.

it shouldn't be.

it feels like butt hairs.

 

this one is the softest..

feels like expensive teddy bears.

yes. 

my lampshade is too small.

no. 

there is no art over the sofa.

it's usually where i photograph my paintings.

 

i am going to put an overscale photo there 

of the 3 of us olan mills style.

 

believe it.

 

rocky dennis is back from kathmandu, viv's carrying twins and moira is the beejmaster.

 

 

hey pretty girls and pig whisperers!

time for another AHS recap!

 

 

this episode managed to delight and creep.

equally.

 

right off the bat burny and constance are seated around a fire only he's not burny yet, he's just larry and he is a pussy.

constance is upset bc the authorities want to charge her with child neglect or something.

larry's like...no my darling i will do anything for you.

and constance is like, well then, umm...do it!!

 

larry walks upstairs into the attic and there we see the "child" constance is refering to..

 and it's none other than 'rocky' from mask.

only now he goes by 'beau' and he's chained up in the attic.

he seems super nice.

 

but sadly his ball playing skills and winning smile can't save him from larry's suffocating murder pillow.

 

what an asshole.

 

meanwhile..

viv and ben are at the doctor where they find out they are having twins.

yay!!

i think one will be chocolate flavored.

and the other one will be made out of rubber.

either that or they will just be the olsen twins.

 

later viv and the real estate lady are showing the house to some "greasy" armenian/persian.

he wants to buy it bc moira is making googly eyes at him.

and as we all know men only see moira as a super hot redheaded slut maid.

he is picking up what she's putting down, bigtime.

 

 

next in walks burny all pissed off and eating up all the 'open house' food and chardonnay.

he pretends to be interested in buying the house.

 

soon after viv's upstairs with some candles and mood music.

and you know what that means!!!

time to clean!

 

just kidding.

time to beat the beaver.

polish the pearl.

check for squirrels.

juice the clam.

 

she fantasizes about chocolate sundae. (duh)

and her husband. (meh)

and rubber suit. (maybe)

each of them pounding her into ecstacy.

but now it appears rubber suit guy might have a knifedick and clearly this hurts.

game over.

 

 

cut to tate and vi and gross teenager shit.

 

then it's dinner time.

ben, viv and vi are having a tense family dinner discussing life.

viv tells ben that a persian/armenian is interested in buying the house as was "some burn faced guy"..

 

next day persian/armenian is back bc he "can't get the house out of his mind".

"house" being moira.

she says come with me so i can show your penis the inside of my mouth.

which is slut-maid talk for "show you the rest of the house".

he, of course, does.

and she proceeds to give him the beej of his life.

 

then we see old moira emerging from the bedroom wiping some jizz off her chin.

 

persmenian bumps into ben in the hall and says he plans to tear the house down and build condos or some shit.

 

ben gives no fucks about this news.

 

he heads over to burny's to tell him to stop being so weird and stuff.

and that he's done a little research and apparently burny never burned up his whole family.

they burned themselves up bc they were sad that their dad was such a douche.

 

cut to dinner at burny's with his sad wife where he proceeds to crush her heart with the "i love constance" bit.

"she's as exciting as a house on fire", he says. 

just kidding.

he doesn't say that.

he should have though.

then it would have been more awesome when he walked in on his wife and children on fire.

 

cut back to ben

 throwing his cigarette onto burny's floor.

like a badass..

he said, "game over".

 

 

next up we seen viv and the real estate lady on the murder house tour.

the only purpose for this bit is so the tour guide can finally get to the story of charles and nora and the frankenbabie in a big ol flashback scene.

 

charles comes in to tell nora that she shouldn't be so sad anymore..

their beloved thaddeus (worst name for a baby ever)

is very much alive and upstairs in the crib.

you can see the moment of delusion and hope land on nora's face.

she slowly walks upstairs into thad's room and pulls back the sheet covering what is surely a horrific looking pig baby..

only there is nothing there.

nora turns around to see thaddeus on the floor with a look of shock on her face but also a look of..hmm..

well....maybe this could work.

a few moments later she comes downstairs to tell charles what a genius he is.

and that little thad didn't take to nursing too well.

instead he ate her finger off.

she hugs charles into her bloody chest and then blows his brains out,

and then blows a hole through the back of her own head.

only guess what..

little thaddeus is still alive up there gnawing on a finger.

 

later,

constance finds out that the persian wants to tear down the house.

constance isn't happy about this bc that means all of her dead relatives and friends could be gone forever.

so she pays a visit to the armenian and he essentially tells her to fuck off.

 

telling constance to fuck off is like telling a murderer to stop murdering.

 

what happens next is not very awesome to watch if you're a guy.

constance tells moira that if the house falls to the ground so might she so the two of them hatch a plan

and bump fists.

not really.

 

the plan is this..

moira gives the persmenian a beej with teeth.

not grazing teeth.

eat-it-right-the-hell-off teeth.

so she does and then burny steps in to throw a bag over his head and suffocates his ass.

he is the best suffocater.

 

and just like that, crisis averted.

if he weren't dead he would be saying..

"and i would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling ghosts"

 

we end the night with viv and vi in the teen lair of doom

where the two of them are looking at old pictures that tate found in the attic.

viv recognizes nora as the crazy woman who came into the house a few weeks back.

 cue creepy music.

the end.
