It’s actually pretty unlikely that this is technically an ‘Alley Chair’. This one just needed some fresh air so it popped outside with a slim menthol in it’s favorite housecoat in full makeup to have a quick chat with Linda next door about her new kitchen cabinets and yell at Tommy Rosenthal who ALWAYS throws the morning newspaper in the azalea bushes every morning no matter what you say.
He’s a good kid though, just, you know, careless. Boys will be boys.

Remember when George Costanza said “I would drape myself in velvet if it were socially acceptable”? Well I get it now and god help me if this were a cape I wore waltz around in it until it disintegrated off of my shoulders.

The majesty….the velour…look at those lines. It feels like this was dragged from the bowels of the Titanic and unceremoniously plopped on the side of the road.
This grand old dame deserved better.Somebody get crazy James Cameron and his submarine down here now and put her back where she belongs ASAP!

Oooohhhhh…..
Just like spouses or owners and their dogs, moldy sofas and alleys start to look like each other when they spend enough time together. It’s a special sort of bond.
This is actually kind of adorable.
Awwwww…..

It’s spring in Vancouver and that means color ladies!
Time to put on your sassiest spring frocks from flirty purples to outrageous stripes - nothing is to bright or bold this season.
And for an extra boost of va-va-voom why not pair some sky high heels with an ‘up to there’ lime green mini? Be as bare as you dare!

Aside from what I imagine is the comfiest, most buttery soft massage roller shaped chair of all time, this pile included a teak writing desk, VHS copies of Monty Python’s The Holy Grail and The Great Muppet Caper and A CERAMIC PANTHER LAMP.
The person responsible is either allergic to rad stuff or was setting a ‘me’ trap. Throw in a warm peanut cake doughnut and I’d probably be dangling in a net hanging by a telephone wire hollering for a rescue.

“Listen you guys..the rally is this Saturday and we aren’t even NEAR ready. Lindsay, I can totally see you haven’t been practicing your moves and if we can’t even get a Lance Lightening Pyramid right today what is going to happen then?!
I AM NOT GOING TO BE EMBARRASSED IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE STUDENT BODY ON HOMECOMING WEEK BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO BUSY TEXTING KEVIN FISHER WHEN YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION IN CHEER SQUAD!
Now we are going to stay here until we get it right and I don’t care how long it takes. OK….ONE, TWO, THREE….”

“My chain hits my chest
When I’m bangin’ on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I’m bangin’ on the radio
Ahh; Suki Zuki
I’m coming in the Cherokee
Gasoline
There’s steam on the window screen
Take it, take it
World’s bouncing like a trampoline
When I get to where I’m going, gonna have you trembling…”

And every night the fair blond bar maid waited by the docks hoping her handsome sailor would return to her…..but when she found out his ship had been sunk by ruthless pirates she threw herself into the ocean… to this day some people in the town swear that on a calm night you can still hear her anguished cry and see a ghostly ship sailing towards the harbour….oooooohhhhhhhh…….

Oh….oh dear. I’m so sorry….I didn’t realize anyone was….oh god….I’ll just go…. ..uuummmm….yeah…

Turning the cushions over when company comes by to hide the stain from last Wednesday’s taco night is one thing, but flipping the whole damn sofa over and slapping some mis-matched pillows on there? C’mon son….
Just get the Fabreeze out and put some elbow grease into it.
You’re not fooling anyone with this nonsense.

This city really IS more go go go than the West Coast. Even the discarded furniture is hailing a cab to get somewhere else. Probably a big sales conference downtown. I don’t know, he just had a vibe…..
