THOUGHT PATTERNS: What Ho!

Did you ever see the Jeeves and Wooster show? A British comedy series starring my most favorite Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry (oh, how I love them!). Hugh as Bertie Wooster, a jovial but empty-headed young gentlemen in pre-world war II and Fry as Jeeves, his improbably well-informed and talented valet.

Bertie Wooster: "And if that doesn't leave me without a stain on my conscience, then I don't know what it doesn't leave me without a stain on."

Well, of course you saw the show, so do forgive me for telling you what you know. I just wanted to write "jovial but empty-headed" and "improbably well-informed" and I also wanted to share my fondness for Laurie and Fry. One other show that I adore is Blackadder, especially the third series with Prince George, Prince Regent, a dim-witted aristocrat played again by Hugh Laurie.

Thank goodness for House show, as I think that Laurie was being typecast. On second thought, I think I prefer Laurie when he's being empty-headed!

Anyway, I just spotted these pendant Jeeves and Wooster lights and almost fell off of my chair with delight and desire. Aren't they just splendid? Pardon my English :)

Here is a little bit about them:

"British designerJake Phipps has relived the beauty of the vintage era with his latest Jeeves and WoosterPendant Lights series. The elegant pendant lights are more than just lighting fixtures. They are the perfect reflection of the classic British culture.

The Jeeves is a bowler hat which is lined in refined gold interior while the Wooster is a top hat with a silver interior. Black wool felt is used as the exterior material for both the hats. Fire-rated polycarbonate diffuser and brass electrical fittings assure the safety of these pendant lights. The source of illumination is a built-in 60 watt bayonet cap round soft light bulb. A cord with standard ceiling fitting comes with each light."

Quite marvelous. Available at Hidden Art Shop.
