LIFE IN THE FAST LANE aka A FAST REPUTATION

NOT ONLY HAD THEY BEEN AROUND THE  BLOCK - -

 THESE  EXOTIC BEAUTIES CAME FROM AROUND THE WORLD - -
SURPRISE SURPRISE MANY FROM ITALY - -OF COURSE YOU HAD TO PAY THE PRICE TO ENTER - -BUT EVERYONE AGREED A THING OF BEAUTY (as in interior design) IS A JOY FOREVER. 
For the last 8 days the Javits Center was taken over by red hot creations from around the globe THE AUTO SHOW!
SMALL WONDER THE VOYEUERS- IN- THE- KNOW PRACTICALLY HAD TO BE DRAGGED AWAY SO OTHERS COULD SEE - -THE MASERATIS, LAMBORGHINIS, BUGATTIS - -ASTON MARTINS, BENTLEYS, ROLLS ROYCES even lowly JAGUARS!
Designers all share a well known creed:  Inspiration comes from anywhere. Thank you to all the wonderfully sculpted bodies &  the marvelously shaped headlights / forward thinking!  Can't wait 'til 2012!

Warm to Cool / Cool to Warm - Opposites Attract in Nature's Role Reversal

Add caption
Soon as we move from warm Summer to the cool Fall and Winter something odd happens.  We designers & humans in general crave the opposite.  In colors, that is. For example check out the walls  I found at my local Bally Fitness gym.  The blue mosaic tiles feel like a welcome cool relief from our sometimes brutal NY summers!  Yet the warming yellow / orange -terracotta tones are what we seek in the the dead of winter.  But I'm not quite ready to let go of my blue relief just yet, are you??
