There is something about taxidermy that is simultaneously ultra creepers, but beyond fascination, deer especially. Yeeeeeah, get off of my blog property, P.E.T.A (Side Note: Whenever I would get into a fight with my childhood best friend, Rosie, we would always stand on our respective sides and yell 'Get off my property!' from whoevers house was Ground Zero. Oh, and I also believe in the humane treatment of animals, but believe P.E.T.A are overzealous bullies). As a legit art form, taxidermy has been making it's way through interior design and, alongside the rest of the Americana Revival '08-'09, is rounding it's 15 minutes of fame. I'm 100% the Vintage crazed Brooklynites had something to do with this trend as well.


Let's be honest though, how many times would you wake up in the middle of the night and scare the hell out of yourself seeing one of the authentic deer heads hanging in the shadows? In my case, at least a dozen. I think it would be pretty cool to own this cardboard fauxidermy moose head (below). This little guy is available at Urban Outfitters.

Novelty Art is cute, ain't it?
