I Need An Insanity Room, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                                                   

                                                                             

         I would love to say I got my décor inspiration from Cecil Beaton and "My Fair Lady."  He certainly played a part, but my earliest influence came from "Little Dot" in Harvey Comics, because  I loved her walls all covered over with black dots, in what was a blue or white background.  Being as orange is a favorite color of mine, I would have opted for the blue background and orange dots.  I can actually recall trying to talk my father into painting my bedroom this way.  He did not buy it.

         Lately, I have felt the need for an insanity room, a place to go where I am feeling insane.  Not for interminable periods, like Lucy Harbin, but when I am feeling my most unstable and anxious.  I just go there, until the feeling passes.

          The way I would decorate it, though, let's see how long I could stay there.

           Here is what it would look like.

           Take a square space.  The ceiling would be painted completely orange, and the floor would be covered over completely, in an orange carpet.

            The front and back walls would be painted.  The front would alternate red and yellow stripes, going in a diagonal fashion, covering the entire wall.  The back would be a red background, in the center of which would be painted a yellow lightning bolt.  Kind of like The Flash or Captain Marvel.

              The side walls would be blown up photographs.  Looking to my left, would be the iconic image of Pippa Scott from "The Searchers," and to my right, the famous Myra Hindley photo!!!!!!!!!!!!

                How is that for décor, girls?  Does that not beat all?  Imagine me serving tea, here!

                Really, I have GOT to call Lee, and make a luncheon date with her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
