Kiss my chair!

Going on the third year, my friend Maureen hosts the "Take a Seat" worldwide event for her group the, International Furniture and Design Association.  All are invited to design a chair for an auction to raise money for Habitat for Humanity in New York City.  Not only does everyone have a great time seeing and bidding on all the one-of-a-kind chairs, but the fundraiser helps one more person in the city tuck into a bed at night.

For us, for all woman with a signature style, voila, "Lipstick Lunch."




Mwah, every woman wears lipstick.

I collected the lipsticks from friends and family.  A good portion of the lipsticks came from my grandma marsha's majong group.  ;)  The message of my chair is that all woman have individual styles, often shown through a signature like lipstick.  All the lipsticks together mean that as different as we are, we can be friends.

Wet kisses!

I finished the chair at work and asked all the decorators and seamstresses to put on some lipstick and kiss the back of my chair.  They all had so much fun taking turns to choose a special shade of lipstick, bend down and kiss a silly chair.  It really was funny!
