Well, we’re ready. But is Design Miami ready for us?


Day 2: Art Imitates Life

The glamorous tent in the parking lot


It’s not exactly a circus and it’s definitely not summer camp, but there are many many similarities to both. Load In Day at Design Miami. Seeing and hugging old friends, jockeying for leadership, rampant disdain, false jollity and fork lifts. These are just a few of Bloss’s favorite things. See that crate just on the other side of the truck? That’s ours. And look below, that’s Murray in the back of our big white booth. Isn’t it wonderfully sort of unborn and just waiting?

WTF?


If you google Thanksgiving in Miami, this is one of the images that pops up. What were they going for, do you think. Is this meant to actually be appealing? To whom? Maybe we shouldn’t ask. However you could ask what Bloss was doing with such a google in the first place, and the reason is we are heading south, not only for that water skiing fowl but also for, yes, Design Miami! From whence live blogging will take place. Blow by blow. So to speak. Stay tuned, turkeys. All will be revealed.

Rat Island has no rats, but does have new owner and it’s not you


Ever vigilant for news which might prove useful to our beloved readers, Bloss has learned you just missed your chance to buy this lovely minimalist island just off the Bronx. A popular night spot for crackheads with boats, Rat Island, was auctioned off today for $165,000. Look what you missed: Two and a half acres with no power, no plumbing, no buildings, not even any land for half the day (whenever the tide is high). Quite a bargain, for some lucky person. And no, there’s not a rat to be found. This has been a Real Estate Public Service Announcement from Bloss. Tomorrow we go back to our regularly scheduled programming.
