Ever wonder why the beautiful bed-set in the Pottery Barn catalog must be accompanied by an unraveling ball of twine, or why the new patio set is simply uninviting without a plate of fruit set underneath a nearby table?Well, I never actually cared about such things until now. The author of this blog http://catalogliving.tumblr.com/page/2 writes hilarious captions to everyday pictures cut from catalogs. I guess I've never noticed exactly how staged, and ridiculous some catalogs make their merchandise in order to sell it. Downright impractical! She uses fictional characters, Elaine & Gary, to point out the odd items in the photos.
If you have time, and feel (or need!) a laugh...I would highly recommend this blog. I will never look at a catalog the same way again.
