Lisa Kudrow is so fearless and hilarious!

It's true - I wonder how he'll evolve? I think he will though. He better hurry, he's getting so well known that West Elm is copying all his shit, so it's definitely at the tipping point. IMO, Adler has such a great regard for past masters and such a clear attitude about keeping things fun, that I think his style will continue to evolve with the same spirit behind it, if that makes sense. He loves to grab onto the zeitgeist from any era and exploit the hell out of it, while making it modern. I was watching a 1970's Woody Allen movie last night, and I noticed what I call a Kelly Wearstler ceramic zebra in one of the fantastic sets. It was the exact same model that Adler and Wearstler use in their designs. It made me giggle. All of the apartments and homes in those Woody movies are always so fantastic and go with the characters perfectly. It's amazing! HI Jennifer!

He's so messed up. But The Parker is kind of, "blah, blah." I wonder what Jonathan Adler is going to do for an encore. The hotel is such an Adler set. What will he do when the 1960's Grosse Pointe Groovy look is over? But his dog is cute. I really like Flipping Out because that guy is an armchair psychiatrist’s dream come true. He’s so messed up.
