So how’s everyone werewolf search coming along? Found any big boys? Lovable lads?

I bought a lovely locket brooch today at an antique shop!

“When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.”

I loved Dita Von Teese’s old house, but now she’s bought a larger, Tudor style home and decorated it very differently. (She still has her vintage taxidermy collection, though.)

This is the entrance hall. Originally, she collected taxidermied birds.

This was her old living room- Art Deco furniture, and the designer picked out the beautiful flocked teal wallpaper. 

This is the new living room. Check out that tiger- the crown is a nice touch. Dita says all the taxidermy is at least 75 yrs. old.

She went bright red oriental in the dining room.  

This was her old kitchen- retro & pink.

The new kitchen- she wanted it to look like a woman’s kitchen. Well, she’s got a teal Aga stove.

Rosy red velvet sitting room.

The old dressing table had a sultry glamour. 

The new.

The old bedroom.

The new.

A collection of vintage hats adorned her old dressing room.

The new one is a converted closet. 

This is the shoe room. 

It has a lovely bath that matches the style of the house, but it’s not her usual Hollywood style. I don’t know, I just like the old house better.
