13 - Love Loss & What I Posted

Yesterday, I addressed my ideas about my Conan O'Brien poster. After talking it over with The Boss Lady (Mom), we agreed that Conan will go into the living room. After showing her the wrapping paper samples that I was mulling over, she sided with the Faenza Pamlettes.  "It brings out his hair!" became the final verdict on the subject. So, to follow it up, my other keepsake poster is up for discussion. On May 30th, I enjoyed an afternoon matinee of the live stage performance, Love, Loss and What I Wore at the Westside Theatre.

After the performance, I purchased the poster from the gift shop at the drop of a hat when the merch girl mentioned that the ladies would come outside shortly for autographs and a meet-and-greet. I had the opportunity to meet all five of the fantastic ladies who performed: Penny Fuller, Rachael Harris, Diane Neal, Sherri Shephard, and Cobie Smulders. They signed my poster in black Sharpie, and smiled for photos. Now, unlike the Conan poster, this one measures 14"x22", making finding a frame tricky. Though, the extra space between the poster and a standard frame 25.5"x31" could be decorated with photographs from the show.

Again, I turned to EyeItalia for more neat wrapping paper background. Initially, I wanted the Aquiloni (Kite) print, but now I am leaning heavily toward the Marmorizzata Pavone (peacock) print. The drawback of the Pavone paper is that is without seeing it, I cannot tell if the red or sea green will actually match. Also, the dimensions of the Marmorizzata sheet is 20"x28" meaning that an additional background sheet would be necessary. The Aquiloni sheets are the same dimensions as the Palmettes (27.5"x39"), but I wonder if the patter is too busy and may detract from the poster. I feel the same thing about the Tulipani (Tulip) pattern with its additional patterning of music notes.

I am considering hanging this poster in my bedroom. I have plenty of wall space in my boudoir nouveau,  and I think it would be a great addition. I hope to see the show again soon with my family and girl friends. I laughed, I cried, and had a great time. I really hope that Melissa Joan Hart, Lane Lynch, Janeane Garafolo, Fran Drescher, or Brooke Shields will return for another performance. I would have loved to have seen them perform it.

What's the verdict? Living room or bedroom?
