I had never seen the backlit painting style (which I love) in combination with Black Velvet: Another classic of Afro Power: I weep at such beauty: But nothing prepares you for…THE BLACK LIGHT ROOM!: You feel like on an exotic island… …afloat in a blue velvety haze… …between shadow and light… it is truly trippy!: And you are in luck! There is MORE: Plus the Velvet Nude Room, with beauties such as this!: …and do not miss to visit the bathroom! And all this in the cool neighborhood of L.A. Chinatown… …just one block away from another favorite store of mine: [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2013-12-15 11:27 ]
