HOT STEAMY COLORS! CLASHING PATTERNS! BIG RUGS! HARD MATTRESSES! OBSCENE INTERIORS by Justin Jorgensen, forward by Todd Oldham, Released for 2006

Los Angeles, CA – Baby Tattoo Books has reintroduced Obscene Interiors by Justin Jorgensen. A first of its kind collection of male personal ad photos featuring shockingly explicit amateur decorating action!

A critique whose time has come! Lamps, plants, curtains, and couches mix it up in a graphic display of aesthetic perversion! Obscene Interiors is a collection of real male personal ad photos accompanied by critiques of the naive interior decorating exposed therein. (No need to shield your timid eyes, the often-nude figures have been laboriously obscured.).

To put this insightful photo collection in perspective, renowned designer Todd Oldham has written a foreword that gives proper pop-culture context to the outrageous photos and captions.
