It’s Photo Friday once again and today Susan Sanders presents us with a photo titled Performance Trash. The street performer shown in this photo has been refining his act over the course of the past months in Rome and he seems now to have perfected it. He’s managed to paint his shoes, his suit, and his skin the exact color of characteristic trash cans (and the cobblestone street) against which he slumps in hope that we might toss him a coin or two for his efforts.
Susan often photographs Rome’s lively street life and you can see more of her photographs by visiting her Rome With A View website.
At this months’s SuperZoo pet industry show, the Milanese firm b.pet presented a luxurious and high-design line of furniture for the cats and dogs. Based on well-known furniture designs, the ultra-modern line will let your pet recline in style alongside you.
Super cool is the limited edition Bubble Gold bed (below, left). It’s plated with 24 karat gold and includes a silk cushion stuffed with down. Perfect for the canine or feline that has everything. They’re only making 99 of these so you’d better act now if you’ve got a pet that needs a little extra pampering.
Gotta get one of these! Anne and Parick Poirier have designed a boat-shaped bathtub, called Vascabarca, for Antonio Lupi. They’re only making 10 of these, each of them carved from a single monlithic block of stone, and they can be personalized with your name on the stern.
Imagine Styx playing in the background as you ride the bubbly waves in this little dinghy. “Come sail away, come sail away, come and sail away with me…”
