the main room was brightly lit, pun intended !!
\nit had many more artists, and they all played off each other, in a nice, ‘cool’ way.
\ncoming out of that almost ‘ritualistic’ home life, that was the multi-layered front room, this was almost like stepping off the escalator in Macy’s, iF !!
\nMacy’s was totally cutting edge, and absolutely . . WONKY !!<\/p>\n

here’s a very personal sampling \/ best case scenario: GO SEE IT, FOR YOURSELF !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\ncoming around the ‘Privacy Screen’\/ RUFUS TUREEN’s room divider, was a nice mythical bridge of both worlds: form, function, & flat-out expressionistic \/ DIY erotic . . mythology !!
\nin other words: the (very) deep end . . of ‘FAMILY’ LIFE.
