to use the shells? I already have shell mirrors and shells in candles. What are some other projects I could do with them that wouled make my house look pretty and beachy?

Answer
Aside from routine mirror perimeters, you can glue shells on any shape, painted/papered backboard with a hole, and make it into a clock. If you carefully drill holes into small shells, you can sew them onto lamp shades. I have seen strands of shells used as curtains or dividers. Simple shells glued around the apron of a table would be interesting.

I am redesigning our den area. I want to make it modern, with a beach feel. How can I do this?

I have picked out a lot of black modernish furniture. But how can I add the beachy feel? The black furniture goes with some of our other furniture in our house, but not entirely. I am really trying to stick to IKEA.com, so if you have some ideas, that'd be awesome!

Answer
1] carpet in sand, or sea blue
2] walls in sky blue, with clouds, maybe?
3] upholstery in sand [ yellow beige ]
4] hang up a seagull mobile
5] palm tree standing lamps
6] seashell ornaments and knick knacks [ planters, bowls,
candle holders ]
7] beach towel covered throw pillows
8] sheer curtains in white or sky blue
9] collect old metal [ antique, or just used ] coolers to use as end and coffee tables. If you can't find one big enough, use shipping crate and decorate it like crates in Castaway.
10] paintings of ships or beach scenes

Will you comment on the letter I got from my publisher?

Q. Dear Mr. Whisperer,

This is to inform you we have reviewed your proposal (-The Big Book of Celebrity Turds-working title-) and are happy to report we are firmly on-board. We feel this is an untapped area of exploration, woefully under-represented, and perfect for a coffee-table book.
We were most impressed with your preliminary work and chapter layout. A special section for musicians is a great idea. Where on Earth did you find that pic of Jimi Hendrix squatting at Woodstock? My God---it looks like he has four legs!

We feel an entire chapter devoted to the emergency turd pinched by Ed Asner in a backstage-bucket during a live taping of The Mary Tyler Moore Show to be inspired. Is it true no one could get within 12 feet of the bucket without losing consciousness? Did they really have to cut a small hole in the roof and have the bucket removed via helicopter? We find the backstory to these celebrity turds fascinating---your take on the Danny DeVito mishap left us ROFLâ¦

We loved the sample photos you included, and several of us think the enormous turd Gary Busey left on Kurt Russellâs star on the Hollywood Walk-Of-Fame would look lovely on the dust-jacketâjust a suggestion.
We understand no photos exist of the epic log deposited in Doris Dayâs cat-box by an inebriated Art Carney during her infamous 1972 Christmas dinner-party. Perhaps you could have one of the last surviving witnesses meet with a sketch-artistâ¦? ---again, just a suggestion.

We are intrigued by your idea of having Scratch N Sniff stickers beneath several specially-selected turds (Rosie O'Donnell), and we're having our experts look in to the matterâ¦

Based on what youâve shown us, we predict explosive sales in virtually every region and market, with especially strong movement in the South and Utah. Enclosed is a check for $20,000 to get you started. We understand youâll be needing extended lodging in California---we have taken the liberty of making available to you our corporate beach house in Malibu (keys and directions in the blue envelope) Please look it over, and if you find it satisfactoryâitâs all yours until October, when we have to ready-it for Salman Rushdie. (Feel free to use the Porsche in the garage.)

Please keep a lid on this project until weâre sure itâs going to float. We donât want Rush Limbaugh beating us to the printer!

Sincerely, Alice P. Fecalstains
Scribner, New York

Answer
I hope you've done your research. This subject has been woefully understudied, and we have a lot to learn.
For instance, did you know one of O.J. Simpson's turds started a race war in Cellblock 15, only a few months ago?
