While enjoying the picture ads in last Sunday's paper, I learnt that Oklahoma - specificly Oklahoma City - is apparently the new center of the fashion and design universe. A Gordmans ad (how you say "Beall's" in Coloradon) proudly devoted 8 glossy pages to a theme they called "Gordmans on the road...OKLAHOMA CITY!" On page 2 they showcased something called "Coastal Wood Furniture". Valencia and I particularly enjoyed this chair and end table. (see picture.) I think it belongs in my coastal home. Boan, you (and Abbzug and Polvo) have Oklahoma roots: What do you think? Is Oklahoma the inspiration for your art?

in an activity of free association - where the smart-looking-doctor-person behind the big mahogany desk says a word, and you say the first thing that comes to mind - says 'oklahoma' I always say 'cutting edge style'.
The furniture has a Tex-Mex look. Oklahoma, to me, was more along the lines of windmills and rusted farm equipment. A sepia tone kind of state.
if you double click on the picture ..you can get a lot better view of the furniture and that spiffy oklahoma painting behind the chairs.........
PS: Is it just me or does that furniture scream "burnt Aztec"?
I really can't see the Oklahoma connection.....but I am not sure I have ever seen a whole lot of Oklahoma furniture....... unless we count some out of body experiences from the 60's
When I hear "oklahoma" I think of pick up trucks and spoiled milk.
I think of John Steinbeck and "the grapes of wrath"....and Ada
