Bathtubs
Why does everyone go insane on the weekend before Christmas? There is madness on the roads, madness in the malls, madness amongst the trees… The only way to retrieve my equilibrium and, if I’m lucky, regain a pleasurable enough mood to venture out this evening for my social fix, is full submersion in a nice hot bath. Yes, a steamy soak is just the ticket for complete stress-relief. And to help me ignore the lead poisoning risk I am taking by sinking into my desperately-in-need-of-re-enamelling bathtub, I’ll draw attention to other people’s bathtubs.

Most Outrageous Bathtub: Conceptual only, as far as I can tell, but with a $47K tag and 2 HDTVs, I don’t know whether to be horrified or titillated.

Just look at what we who own basic white bathtubs are missing! Or, perhaps not?
I want, I want, I want! Does the “Moonlight” come with an optional guy as an upgrade?
I could slide into that hot tub with a nice whiskey and be lost to the world.
That bond bathtub is dead freaking sexy.

justjp: Which tub exactly are you planning on getting lost in? I think the Red Diamond probably comes with its own bartender.
lemmonex: About that Bond bathtub… I know, right?! Though where the hell does one put the soap?
oops – and catherine: I can’t help but think of one of those bodice-ripper guys around that Moonlight tub, which makes me sorta wince, so I think you’re better off not paying for the upgrade. Now if you could get David Beckham or something, I’d be first in line…
Glad you enjoyed the list!
Nice tubs. I think my favorite would be the Hemingway one because it’s nice to have things within arms reach.

I want the moonlight bathtub…if it comes with a hot teenage vampire…Do vampires need to bathe?
Jamie’s last blog post..I’ll Give You Donuts, Rick Warren.
Egan – I totally support the need for things to be within arms reach! I’ve never understood those fancy bathrooms with no shelving. It’s like those McMansions with no closets. Next they’ll take out the bathrooms altogether.
But the boat itself? I think I prefer a more subtle nautical theme if I’m going in that direction. Like blue towels.
Jamie – I have truly never contemplated whether vampires need baths until this very moment. Thank you for expanding my horizons. Alas, my vampire knowledge is severely lacking. But I’ll agree that there is something disturbingly enticing about hot teenage boys – er, vampires… That just came out all wrong!
Curious, too, how the girls all go for the romance, huh?
OMG, the recycled bathtub. That would so sit in the corner of my living room for the rest of my life. If I never make another thing as long as I live I must find a time/way/place to re-create that!

Leigh: Awesome, right?! It comes in a multitude of colors too. You are sure to find one to work with rest of your fabulous decor!
