You too can create this fabulous blouse with the use of a bloodied tampon and a severed rat's head.
More dirty looking shag carpeting. I can't imagine having to sip Sanka under those two Nazi interrogation/fancy hairdresser lamps.
For a guy who loves retro, he seems to hate every bygone age that he actually explores.
Not to mention women, retarded children, and homosexuals. Wow, the picture captions on that site are something else.
Good find! In a weird, weird way.

Funny enough, a lot of this looks like it is from the recent West Elm catalog.

Ow, my eyes!
I remember some of this. The orange shag carpet with the dark green and black paisley couch. The huge green ball lamp thingy hanging from the ceiling by a black chain. The square desk lamp with a black base and a light blue plastic multi-tiered top - hard to describe, unspeakably ugly. The waterbed in the laminate headboard set that looked an awful lot like the bedroom set from Mean Mr. Bucket's link.
My childhood pictures look like these. And that godawful pink bedroom is the one I wanted as a little girl.
The funniest thing is that in 30 years, someone is going to be posting pictures of our houses and snarking on them.

Sometime in the 2030s we'll look back on today's fashions and decor (or lack of them) and have a good chuckle or two.
