the inner child room

This is a picture of my Inner Child Room.

In the Inner Child Room is every shiny, baubly piece of junk that I would have wanted as a kid, but that my mother was too tasteful to let me have.

The Inner Child Room contains, for example, the following objects:

1. A giant Flower Fairies poster
2. Tin foil stars
3. A snowstorm with a unicorn inside it
4. A very pink collage made from home decorating magazines
5. Lots of little perfume bottles (even though I never wear perfume)
6. A flashing psychedelic Jesus lamp
7. A zebra-print bedhead

I cannot tell you how much I love my Inner Child Room. I worked hard to make it so cheerful and tacky; so gratifying. I spent many hours in Two-dollar Shops searching for just the right glittery plaster figurines.

It's making me feel better just thinking about it.

My recommendation: Tomorrow go and buy yourself one of those cheap musical jewellery boxes with a spinning ballerina inside.

Put it in the spare room, like I do.

No one ever has to see it there.

Except you.
