See ya later 2023! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out! It’s just been that kind of year. My word.
That is why I am so grateful to daltxrealestate.com and to all of you for humoring me week in and week out with all these nutball homes I find. I hope they all sold above asking because they gave me something to chuckle about when there was nothing else.
So to all of you, my peoples, please know that I wish you and your families a holiday season filled with peace, grace, and love. May the best of your past be the worst of your future as we ring in 2024! I’ll be looking for you next Wednesday.
Until then, here is a list of my five absolute favorite Wednesday WTF homes for 2023.
Beat The Heat (or Hot Flash) With This Australian Clubhouse For Menopausal Women
I have reached a point in my life where some things are abundantly clear. The heatwave we are currently enduring does nothing positive for 55-year-old menopausal women. Our clubhouse is located in the dairy section of your local Sam’s. You will find us all just standing there finding sweet, sweet relief as the chillers blow ice-cold air.
It was during this reprieve from the hormone wave I am riding that I decided Wednesday WTF was going on the road to someplace cooler. So grab your passports because we are on our way to Australia.
No Spicy Meatballs at This Olive Garden-Style Palace Built For Adult Films
So you say you love Olive Garden.
So you say you love porn.
Well, saddle up partners because we are going on a ride to a home decorated like an Olive Garden and set up for an adult video shoot. All you pearl clutchers out there, throw them pearls in the saddle bag. I do not decorate these homes but when duty calls, I answer the phone.
Straight Out of Midsommar, This Oklahoma A-Frame Shows That Chaos is a Ladder
When our film major daughter comes home from grad school, we watch a ton of movies. The vast majority of these movies are indie flicks that leave me and my husband in a state of confusion. Give us Leslie Nielson doing one of his funny expressions in any of the Naked Gun movies and we howl every single time.
One of our daughter’s favorite indie movies is Midsommar. The movie is about a bad breakup, old people jumping off a cliff, murder and, in the end, this distinctive, yellow A-frame building gets set on fire and this is all during a festival where people, stoned on acid, dance around a maypole with lovely flowers in their hair.
Pepto Pink Barbie Goth Dreamhouse For Sale In Wisconsin
There is little doubt that the marketing director for the movie Barbie is going to receive a really nice bonus this Christmas. Putting a life size Barbie doll box at the movie theater so people could have their photos taken was pure genius.
Now I know what you are thinking and no, I did not have my photo taken inside the box. Hot Wheels were my toy of choice growing up and anyway, no one puts Mimi in a corner or in a box. I digress.
The marketing campaign for the movie was so successful because every little girl or woman could see themselves as Barbie. The only form of Barbie I did not see in the movie or in any of the hundreds of photos of people in a Barbie box is of Goth Barbie. I know, it is hard to picture because the two seem antithetical to each other.
Taste the Rainbow Twice: Skittles Inspired Midcentury Home Strikes Out
Years ago I was an assistant coach on my nephew’s 9- and 10-year-old baseball team. Maestro, cue “Habanera” from the opera Carmen. This team was the incarnation of The Bad News Bears. In the distance, I can still hear my sister yelling, “Get ready to run outfield!”
On one particular game day, one of our players was dropped off drive-by style. His Mom slowed down just enough so he could get out of the car and she could keep going.
He was running and eating Skittles by the handful. Not having children of my own at this point, I was perplexed. One of the kids offered up that those Skittles were his lunch and he had been eating them all day. By the time he reached right center, he stopped and just threw up every freaking Skittle he had eaten the entire day. It was as though there was a rainbow coming out of this kid.
