Big Mango on Industrial Blvd is always a shoppers’ feast - exotic furnishings, architectural pieces and pottery from Bali and Java, all with a distinctive Asian influence. It is also well priced, so when they have their semi-annual sale (starting this Friday), it’s a good thing to get there early. This gorgeous blue glazed fountain pot is going to live at my new house - when we sell our old house, when the bill-payer husband loosens the purse strings, and when he has done all the research possible on modern architecture, geo-thermal heat pumps, solar panels, and Japanese gardens. It could be awhile…..
Now this is a coffee table book that might generate some conversation and have your guests dying to know what is inside. Taschen takes a complete look at the global (especially Dallas) nip/tuck phenomenon in Aesthetic Surgery. Pages and pages of before and after pictures (yes, real pictures) of several different aesthetic surgeries, as well as doctor interviews, and the astonishing history of aesthetic surgery are inside. Conversation, controversial, and oh so Dallas.Â
