Tuck Me In

You know how on MTV's Cribs there is always the inevitable scene where the featured celeb takes a running jump onto their bed and says, "This is where the magic happens!" Well, I've always secretly wanted to do that but first I need a magical bed. I'm in the process of pimping my sleep space and I'm half way there. I made a trip to Ikea yesterday and scooped up a very reasonable duvet cover. I picked up the Bibbi Snurr (I swear that half the reason why I love Ikea so, so much is due to the names I get to call things) with a Vila fitted sheet in purple to go underneath.

I like the Bibbi Snurr because it kind of looks like a cross between eyes, peacock feathers, and these swirly little doodles that I incessantly draw, and a purple sheet seemed eggplanty and passionate. I do love eggplant.

Now I need the accouterments. And, I know just where to get them. Genius screenprint mecca Reckon has many a great pillow that I'd love to lay my head on. Here are some I'm considering:



A little Audrey, maybe some John Cleese, or Tom Waits? I mean the options for sleeping companions are just fantastic. And, I'm pretty sure you could make a request to have any of the images featured in Reckon's repertoire turned into cushiony goodness. So, pick a partner and cozy up. If anyone knows the Cribs casting people, tell 'em I'm fun and I'm ready and my whole apartment is gilded in 24karat gold.

PS a helpful jazz historian friend of mine informed me of the following:

"the pillow on the bottom left is Eric Dolphy, btw. Brilliant cutting edge, avant garde multi-instrumentalist of the early 1960s. He is shown there with a bass clarinet (also played alto sax and flute). Revolutionized jazz improvisation in the early 1960s. Died young, at 36 from diabetes. Alienated as many fans/critics/musicians as he converted, but captivated all none-the-less. He and his associates confronted traditions and bravely clawed at the walls erected by their predecessors."
