So, what is your point?

Not to put too fine a point on it, but it looks like a child's Lite-Brite set.

Initiating boot-up sequins....

Unlikely to be missed on the luggage return at the airport.

Nicely done, too.

Perhaps he's an aficionado of Japanese culture. I'm not really a fan of the mindset that dictates which are "guy" things, and which are "girl" things. It's not as if he's got frilly pink ruffles on it anyway.

I've thought of this quite a bit, since I too tend to follow a bit of various Asian cultures.
I own some quite beautiful things, and I have also photographed many things that are beautiful, as well as things that are decayed and falling apart... essentially it's also an appreciation of beauty...

I can see a beautiful woman, and be entranced by the curve of her neck, or the light freckles on her skin or the way her laughter feels like water falling in a desert.

It isn't considered unmanly to gaze at that, write songs about it, paint great paintings, or indeed compete for it.

Why should it seem unmanly that I would own or posess other things that I deem beautiful? Regardless if it's a plate my daughter made in pottery class, or a photograph of cherry blossoms falling, or the various inlays on the scabbard of a sword... or nekkid pictures, or a custom paintjob on a blown '66 Chevelle Supersport... or an up amored football player slicing through a defensive line to make a touchdown.

Sure a lot of average guys mightn't give such a response, but in things we enjoy we may find a quiet beauty, and each finds his own thing. I'm not for cut flowers, but for pictures of them in their environment? I like that. I wouldn't be much for jeweling a mod case, mine has a skull squadron decal on it.

I used to give a friend of mine guff for having a black lacy garterbelt on his rearview mirror... till he said "oh, you have no idea how much trouble I went to get that..." he got this wistful smile that said the memory was only for him.

To dress in puffy finery to make yourself look beautiful is one thing... but to possess or stay close to beauty so that you can appreciate it, is something else entirely.

That's not appreciation for asian culture or art, nor is it appreciation for sparkly things. It's Ed Hardy douchebaggery. (Look at the signature in the lower right corner).

well, yeah, Elle, I knew it was ed hardy, though I dunno why you would use such a pejorative... some of the stuff is interesting, though in yon olden days we would have done all that sort of decoration personally...

actually, most of my friends still do their own stuff, buying it from a site is like buying jeans that are pre-ripped... there is no story involved, it's just a commercial ware. Often owned by posers that is. ;)

What Elle said.
The assumption that he reeks of Axe products, has a pocket full of cocain, and spends many weeknights in a venue he refers to as "the Club" easily follows...
If he'd done it himself...THAT would've been cool.

Is the owner French?

Ed Hardy == Auto Douchebag.

Meh. It's pretty - would I want it on my laptop? Nope. But Ed Hardy stuff has indeed become shorthand for "I'm a giant douche, stay clear."

Well, this sent me off looking for a photo of a big honkin' old Gerber photoplotter, like the one I used to write programs for, but so far I haven't found one.
