Neon Fever

Hmmm...not sure what it is lately, but I'm feeling especially saucy today. I say we get kicky with it and ditch the boring house stuff for a day. Can we please get some neon up in here?

It would be plain wrong to not start this post with the little man with the big voice whose ahhh-mazing album sleeve (that's right, I said album) sparked off my love affair with neon and inspired me to paint my 'teen bedroom purple. Thanks, mom and dad!

Whew! It's gettin' hot in here already. Please, please, please tell me you at one time owned Prince's album, 1999.


I want this in my house. Reeaalll bad. Image via 2008 'Top Design' winner hottie, Nathan Thomas', interior design company portfolio.


Moving right along, we have a few fine pieces of my favorite British feminist artist/bad girl Tracey Emin.

I don't remember where this image is from, but I do know it's the naughtiest escalator I've ever seen. Saucy!
