Heli82- oh how I would love to see a photo of that.

In fact I’d love to see a whole blog / photo book of tacky chinese furniture.

There’s a gap in the market for someone.

The worst/best thing I personally encountered was in an apartment I rented in Qingdao one summer. The landlord furnished the apartment and in the master bedroom there was the most glorious floor lamp. It was about 4.5 feet high in the shape of an angel holding a tiny baby in her arms. The whole thing was painted gold and the lamp shade was a giant yellow bowl on top. But the whole thing was plastic. It was amazing. Who buys something like that?!

@ lei – good, I was trying to offend. God knows your people need some sense of shame.

What no Cubic zirconia encrusted phones?

Also is it wireless? I don’t see a phone cord.

reply @ T

i feel offended, i am a “wenzhou ren”, altho, not one of those “too ostentatious” kind, but they are still my fellow men, i should be the one to say things like that to them.

Oops, I forget to add my witty rejoinder that goes with my star

*Louis would probably have said this in French.

James – I would if I could but I just don’t have the time these days so I prefer my bling to be pre-blinged.

I would like one of these along with one of those wristwatch wall clocks (normal sized wall mounted clock with enormous fake strap, probably emblazoned with CUCCI or LEWIS VITTON)

T- actually yeah, in my new place we had to carry the coffee table away out of the living room because it was offensive. Also paid 1,000RMB to recover the sofa because the flowered pattern was like a napkin from 1975.

The dalmatians sound cool though.

Karen- that’s what the title of the post was aiming for

“Bling bling. It’s for you!”

WoAi- you could always bedazzle it after you buy it?
