Recent Ralph Lauren bedding
Since it was introduced last summer, i have been lusting after this colorful pattern, called ISLE CAPRI.

I just bought a complete bed of this now discontinued, high thread count pattern

Not being catholic
I don't quite understand the meaning.

First impression is that you might be suggesting that the colors are too bright.

The contrasts are to much...
The contrasts are to much for me. It looks like it would emit light when it's dark :-)

Bed
The bedding looks appropriate for that style of bed... I wonder how it might look on a more "modern" bed. What type of bed do you have barry?

Bedshirt?
What is a bedshirt Barry?
Does it come with one of these for you to sleep in?

"I Think it Looks Wonderful!"
I LOVE The Bright Cheery Colors!

Sorry about the last two, I couldn't resist!
But, I did learn that animated gifs work here!

Too bright and high contrast for me...but...
Although I use only white beddng I have a parade of pillows that come and go withthe seasons. I like me a nice pop of color and I like seing different colors at different times of the year when the quality of light shifts in the sky. At our place back in Massachusetts, the really crisp blu-white light coming in our living room really set off greens. In the summer I favored reds. It's fun to mess with color and as MD_Andersen put it, push your tastes forward.

Who's Sandra Lee?
is she Sarah Lee's grand daughter? or perhaps Pinky Lee?

(Jeez, it's getting difficult to get a compliment here, these days)

Gag!
I absolutely cannot tolerate that woman! And the entire concept of 'semi-homeade' irritates the bejeezus out of me. I'd much rather take barry's noisy sheets that put up with even 5 minuts of that dippy woman! Ok, now for how I really feel....hwarf!

Marimekko's a bit too expensive
A full size sheet is over $30.00, usually.

I don't have any sets as bright as the Ralph Lauren's, but the quality is super good and it'll be my 'summer look this winter'.

Marimekko
I have the dark grey/black Marimekko cloth shower curtain that I bought years ago on sale at Crate and Barrel. The temp. dropped in Phoenix and I didnt have enough blankets (busy med. resident) so I ripped open the shower cutain package and used it as a quilt that winter. I never used it for the shower. It is now a cover for my small parrot's night cage.

The bed set is a little bright for me, Barry, but I bet you have to see it in person to appreciate it.

Dare I mention Kiki de...
Dare I mention Kiki de Montparnasse?

For a Wall Street broker's bachelor pad??!!

In spite of your remarks, W-H-C
I still like it and I'll enjoy it.

Humorous or not, I'm surprised at how mean-spirited some of the replies are.

Instead of some of you not like the design of the bedding, you make comments about the person's intelligence. This is a real surprise...and not a nice one.

As rockland put it, just get the pillowcases. Since I'm handy with a sewing machine, I occasionally buy just one pillow case and turn it into two toss pillows. A big bang for a small buck. I've done that with the Marimekko Unikka, above. I've also discovered that I can take a standard American style sheet set and convert the top and bottom sheets into a duvet cover. Since I haunt the closeouts, it's a great way to get what would be too expensive otherwise. Have you ever seen what a high threadcount, king-size duvet cover generally runs for? YIKES! And by going with just the duvet over a typical American sheets and blankets arrangement, I save money and storage space! Not to mention that it takes me about 30 seconds to make the bed!

Uh barry
We're not even talking about you!

That bedding is VERY POPULAR
Here are people lining up for the last known unsold store stock!

If a million monkeys sew...
If a million monkeys sew cloth for a million years....

No offence intended in my first reply Barry, it's just not my thing - needless to say I'm not alone.

Don't take it personally ;o)

Fer-cryin-out-loud, Barry--
I was imagining the person who'd buy the 'fuck' pillow cases, I was NOT talking about you.

Did you fail to note that I ALREADY denied attacking you, and offered a totally plausible explanation? If I had the chutzpah to do the former, why would I then reverse myself and deny it?

Must I preface every comment I make with the disclaimer "this isn't about barrympls OR his pillow shams", from now on?

Barry, must we have these...
Barry, must we have these conversations every quarter? You need to grow some thicker skin. No one was talking about you. And, if someone was being mean about a design, who cares? It is not about you. Or even the designer of the product in question. It is about the design itself. Lighten up. They make pills for this you know...

Thanks Olive and W-H-C
Obviously your judgement is far superior to mine.

This is what happens when I simply try to show something cool that I find, then instead of opinions about it, the thread becomes something else entirely.

I don't require judgement on my posts from you, Olive. You seem to think that any comment about the level of replies is 'whining', then so be it. It's not anymore your forum site than it is mine, and I thank you to not make a comment that might appear to be personal. You don't know me, and I don't appreciate your passing judgement on me at all.

The sarcastic 'humor' usually found here these days are usually not all that funny. I have just as much right to my opinion as you, don't I?

I'm sorry that my post causes you guys to make such comments and 'jokes'.

It would be refreshing to see some nicer comments, but I guess a number of collectors are just waiting to make silly or stupid comments. I do too, but nowhere as often as you guys do.

Such a bunch of interesting people!

Sob story
what a nice person you are. By the way, is your last name Oyl?

I have no problem if someone doesn't like my taste
but in a joking way, some of the replies have a way of making me (at least) feel like it's something of a personal attack,

People have no problem claiming IT'S UGLY, rather than IT'S NOT MY TASTE. People then post 'funny' pictures to make fun of the person. It doesn't just happen to me...I see others doing to others too.

It's not very civil, and sometimes, it hurt my feelings. Based on the reactions to my reactions, I'm not allowed to have feelings, which is a shame.

It's been quite a while since I got a compliment from anyone on something I've posted. It has happened, but it's damn rare.

Pweeze Forgive Me!
When the Thread started Spiraling out of control, I thought I'd cheer things up a bit. Pweeze Forgive my funny Pictures! I only said I Luved the Sheets! I feel like I Piddled on a Florence Knoll Sofa!
