Is this a Major Award, or is it just me?

Leglamp

 

This might be one of those, “Is it just me?” things, I’ve been having those a lot lately, but this art in the middle of the front room window reminds me of that scene in “A Christmas Story” when the dad wins a leg lamp–a Major Award.  
It does look Frag-il-e.
This is a house in San Clemente right down the street from my brother’s place.  I asked him, and yes, the guy who lives there is single.  Weird.

Inspired by the photo, today I’m listening to J.Geils Band “Centerfold.”

    I’m wondering if this guy actually brings dates back to his place. Very Christmas Story-ish.

    Very funny.
    I am guessing he did not get this at IKEA.

    I once saw the Christmas Story Leg Lamp in a catalog and wondered who would buy that. Now I know!
    Fun shot!

    That is too funny! It reminds me of a while back when I would go on my daily walk around the neighborhood. One house used to have a cardboard cutout of Martha Stewart in their front window. Not sure which is more disturbing! 🙂

    This is a tad creepy, sort of like an opening scene on CSI, but in a good way.

    Oh, the leg lamp! I love that movie. I can’t imagine who decided to put that girl up in their window. Was it on a whim? A dare? Was it a well thought out plan or did someone just lose a bet?

    My uncle is single, and he has a leg. Just a leg, on the balcony ledge overlooking the living room. The rest of his home is very tasteful and spare and all about angles and stuff (he’s an architect). But that one bit of pure whimsy is my favorite thing about his decor.
    And no, I wouldn’t want it, but it works, you know? Sort of like fuschia and blue paint trim on your coastal house.

    He’s probably the same guy who drives THE truck. You know.. tire splash guard pads are decorated with a white shiloutte of a seated naked woman. (or on the truck beds back window.)
    Those have always been my fav!

    Well, when you’re single, there’s nothing like a little wishful thinking. There’s also nothing quite like “single creepy guy.”
    Very funny! Love the photo.

    This is a great snap!
    As for the art, kitschy all right, but I wouldn’t mind one for my window too…
    Cheers Suzanne, keep that sense of humour coming!

    So strange! And yet I totally like it! Does he keep his window open at night? Or is it in shadow then? Great photo 🙂
