welcome to the parker

ac and i are reality tv addicts. hey paula, making the band 4, hell's kitchen- we watch it all. this summer we've been really enjoying flipping out and welcome to the parker on bravo. while i'm still not sure i love the new trend in programming on bravo towards only doing competition or pop-culture documentaries, i'm really loving these two shows. mainly, welcome to the parker. aside from being a pretty hysterical show (that event planner dude is a disaster) the parker is one of the most gorgeous hotels. designed top to bottom by jonathan adler, the place oozes his 'happy chic' philisophy. but what i love is that he includes some edgier pieces like lots (lots) of nude paintings in the hotel's bar and a vintage "drugs" sign that seems to really bother the (horrible) HR woman at the parker. i've spent most of my time staring at the hotel's details so i thought i'd post some of my favorite images- i'm hoping to head out there next year and see it in person. looks like a fun trip.
