This 1980’s plaster salute to love was a hot ticket item in Mexican swap meets in Southern California\u00a0throughout the 80’s and 90’s. Although back then they were too cheesy for my just-out-of-the-gate budding love of kitsch which, although quite robust, still hadn’t crossed the line to full blown Camembert such as the love interpreted here. Thank God, I had the presence of mind to buy these Siamese lovers as lamps, plain sculptures, towels and any other material their love could be possibly be moulded or stamped upon.<\/p>\n

The lamp lovers are very fit.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

They look much more romantic backlit.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Her hair sweeps back and his sweeps forward, representing the push\/pull magnetism of the universe.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

With the lights on, the lovers look a little dusty in the chest area. This is why I hate this kind of matte finish on ceramics; all the imperfections show. \u00a0Like in real life, leaving the lights on despite the fact you spent all day at a flea market and haven’t had a chance to shower yet.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Most of all, I love that my cat Niblet loves spending time with the lamp lovers.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

May anyone reading this be glowing all day today. \u00a0And remember, the real glow comes from within, so mate or no mate, I hope you wish yourself a very very VERY happy Valentines Day today!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
