Alright, alright, let me tell ya about these long skinny statues, the ones they put inside houses nowadays. They call it “modern decor.” I don’t know much about fancy words, but I see ’em in magazines when I’m at the doctor’s office.
So, these things, they’re tall and thin, like a beanpole. You know, like those green beans I used to grow in my garden? Yeah, long and skinny. Some are made of shiny stuff, like metal, and some look like rock, but not real rock, you know? It’s lighter, I think.
- They don’t take up much space, which is good, ’cause who wants a big ol’ thing cluttering up the room?
- These statues, they make the room look taller, I guess. Pulls your eyes up, makes you look at the ceiling. Not sure why you’d wanna do that, but hey, whatever makes folks happy.
You can put ’em anywhere, really. On a table, on the floor, in the corner. Some people, they put ’em on shelves, next to books and picture frames. I saw one in a picture, it was all twisty and turny, like a vine growing up a wall. Made me think of the morning glory vines I used to have, the ones that climbed all over my porch.
They come in all sorts of shapes, too. Some look like people, but stretched out, like someone pulled ’em real hard. Others, they’re just shapes, you know? Swirls and loops and pointy things. I don’t understand it, but I guess it’s art. Reminds me of the time my grandson brought home a clay thing he made in school. Looked like a squashed potato, but he was proud of it.
Now, why would you want one of these statues? Well, I reckon it’s ’cause they make the place look fancy. Like you got money and taste, even if you ain’t got much of either. It’s like putting on your good church shoes, even if you’re just going to the grocery store.
Some folks, they say it adds “vertical interest.” What does that even mean? Sounds like something a salesman would say, trying to get you to buy somethin’ you don’t need. But, if it makes you happy, go ahead and get one. Or two. Or a whole bunch of ’em. Just make sure you dust ’em, ’cause nothin’ looks worse than a dusty statue, all covered in cobwebs.
I heard you can buy ’em online, too. They ship ’em right to your door, in a big box. Just like that washing machine my daughter bought me last year. Came in a box bigger than my kitchen table. But these statues, they ain’t as heavy, I bet. Don’t wanna be luggin’ around a heavy statue, hurt your back.
They say these long skinny statues are “trending,” whatever that means. Trends come and go, you know. Like them bell-bottom pants everyone wore back in the day. Looked silly then, look silly now. But hey, if you like it, that’s all that matters.
So, if you’re lookin’ to spruce up your house, make it look modern or whatever, maybe one of these long skinny statues is just what you need. Just don’t ask me to explain it, ’cause I don’t understand it one bit. But I ain’t judgin’. You do you, honey. You do you.
