When Lamps Turn Us On

Lampshade Series for Smitten Magazine

So maybe the light bulb IS going the way of the dinosaur, but fashion has a way of making the outdated seem cool again. (*sigh* The last time I saw this many human lamps, I was trapped at a college party with a room full of freshman sorority pledges and five gallons of Peach Schnapps.) Okay, I'm off to watch the Christmas Story early this year just to get a quick look at the infamous sexy leg lamp. Who could forget pops saying, "FRAGEEEEEE-LAY!"
