There is a segment of the population, and I suspect that it is Thai-Chinese, that has a penchant for glitzy, neoclassical, phoney bling; or to summarise: crap. Inside the house, big heavy chairs with ornate and badly finished embellishments and gold paint trimmings. Outside the house; well you need a selection of Roman and Greek statues, and this is the place to buy them:

Then you can have the pleasure of walking out of your house every morning to be greeted by a centurion with golden buttocks. Not my idea of a good start to the day, but I suspect there are some who would find it quite uplifting.

2009-07-16| genuinej saysIs the female on the left a potential mermaid? A sort of dish out of water! The centurion on the plinth looks a little exposed/vulnerable/available. Remember, when in Rome,…. do as the statues do… Don’t move a muscle.
2009-07-17| Spike saysBilly, I am somewhat embarrassed to say it but I do believe you have commented on the wrong post. I am also confident I can add the word “again”.
