有一種雜誌,是把最私隱的地方赤裸裸地呈現讀者眼前.看罷會令人心跳加劇,呼吸加速;會令人恨不得盡情擁抱照片中每一分每一寸的完美.
每次經過書店報攤,看見它們五色紛陳的封面,也常常忍不住買一兩本回家慢慢欣賞.
Dwell,
Metropolitan Home,
Veranda,
Elle Decor...琳瑯滿目,而且好像愈出愈多.
聽過人說,這些sell夢幻家居的雜誌其實是”house porn”.真是一針見血.因為,和色情雜誌一樣,它們賣的是人類的原始慾望,是人人渴望的完美型象.
明媚陽光穿過落地玻璃窗照在精雅的象牙白梳化上;一塵不染得捨不得用來煮食的Designer kitchen;永遠窗明几淨,永遠看不見鎖匙掃把和電費單.
相信天天置身其中吃喝睡拉,也不過是不外如是的廳房廚廁吧.但我就是一看再看,還要妄想有一天找個城市安頓下來後,客廳牆上要掛甚麼畫,浴室該配個怎樣的後現代臉盆...
無奈,發白日夢之餘,只能靠一本本「色情」雜誌來滿足那燃燒的慾望了.
paul arden once said (whatever you think think the opposite): a dream house is something we can't afford. so either do something to make it happen, or be satisfied with the reality... (something like this, forget the exact quote)...
ReplyDeleteI am sure Arden would say "It's not the house you live, it's the house you want to live in." :)
ReplyDeleteyes, dream house is always something we desire but can't afford, otherwise it's not a dream.
ok, got the quote:
ReplyDelete"You can't afford the house of your dream, that's why it is your dream house. So either find a way of getting it (you'll find the means), or be satified with this dissatification." Paul Arden
