Last week Dulcie and I spent an impromptu afternoon in our local library, by which I mean Dulcie dragged me in there while we were en route to another never-reached destination, so I honestly did not pre-plan this 1970s orange extravaganza!
I only wish Dulcie had been reading a more era-appropriate book when I took these pictures, something like Rosie's Walk, perhaps, with its autumnal hues. Would it be a step too far to Photoshop that into her hands?
And here's a standing shot, just to prove she does more than just lying around.
Can carpets achieve listed status? If so, I think the library carpet would be a definite candidate. I hope they never update it.
Talking of carpets... Did I ever mention the carpet in my hometown's nightclub? Really, I didn't? Not bad enough that a nightclub has a carpet at all, this carpet's pattern was made up of, er, ejaculating appendages spilling onto eagerly awaiting tongues. No, I kid you not. I wonder if it's still there. I'd campaign for that carpet to be listed too. I've certainly never seen another one like it! Mind you, I can't imagine it was bespoke, which means there is actually a company out there somewhere producing pornographic floor coverings...
The library where I work was an old Argos so is incredibly boring décor wise! Were the Library Assistants wearing sunglasses here?! That carpet is a migraine waiting to happen! Super cool though!
ReplyDeleteNo, but they were all wearing flares and skinny T-shirts... If only!
DeleteI think this is at least the third time I have blogged about this carpet, not sure whether that says more about the carpet or me...
That carpet is very cool and it's a shame you don't have a picture of the nightclub carpet - sounds ace!
ReplyDeleteNo, believe me, it wasn't! I thought it was paisley pattern at first then I noticed the tacky mouths and then couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the you-know-whats. If I ever go back (not likely!) and if the carpet still survives, I will photograph it for you
DeleteI'm tempted to google this type of carpet but I'm not sure my eyes could handle the results of the search ;)
DeleteI just googled for you. Saw a lot of interesting images (oh, my eyes!) but no erotic carpets, not the type I was looking for, anyway. Maybe it was custom woven?! Surely not... I'm going up to Elgin in a few weeks. I wasn't planning a night of clubbing, but I might have to now, camera in hand :)
