Another Interior Commentary

Although there are other websites that specialize or on commentary on interior decor, and they have a much better eye for it than I do, every now and then it's fun to look at  what's happening on interior decorating.   as often occurs, the background says more of the photo's subject then the subject itself.  A quick list of things that would be frightening to urbanites:

First off, the pecker definitely looks Photoshopped.

1), Black leather chaps, and the bullwhip. Somehow I think the bullwhip is only for display purposes, and if the proposition of actually using it came up, he'd scurry away. So, we have someone who is trying to look "tough".

2) porcelain buffalo, given a position of honor in the center of the fireplace. The fireplace has fake logs in, which means that it's a gas fireplace. A gas fireplace gets very very hot, to the point where you would not store anything on the metal parts of the fireplace. However, in this photo we see things stored on the fireplace. thus it's reasonable to assume that the fireplace is never used.
3) Indian squaw with baby in a papoose, also  in ceramic accorded a similarly respectful position. (I use the word "Indian" deliberately. I doubt that this person is trained in the sensitivities of the nuance between Native American / First Nation / Original Peoples /Indian.  Somebody who is sensitive to these issues would never have a ceramic squaw with a papoose hanging in the house).  This ceramic wall hanging was most likely made in China, or perhaps Mexico, if the manufacturer had not gone global.  White ceramic material, fired once, splash some water color, back in the kiln
4) a collection of decorative plates on the mantle, all of which seem to also depict a "Indian" scene.
5), another collection of decorative plates, this time saucers, but they are accorded even more respect, because they get their own stained oak custom built display plaque, complete with feather tassels.  We can be fairly confident that this person is not Native American. All of this stuff is very offensive to Native Americans.  These items depict the idealized scenes of Native American life, as perceived by white people. An appropriate comparison would be the "Sambo" images, within the African-American community.
6) an oil hurricane lamp, something I'm sure the Native Americans used frequently. Especially the ones with cut glass base, and filled with decorative red oil.
7) metal Venetian blinds. 2 inch slat Venetian blinds. No further comment necessary.
8) , some more Indian feathery stuff, this time suspended from the mantle.
9) , one of those fuzzy nylon blankets from a cheap hotel, rendered in teal. I'm sure it's very practical in this context, because it probably comes clean in the first wash.
