Not only this year, but the last several years I have been seeing taxidermy and faux deer heads everywhere. Like this one from Zgallerie $249.95...

I must admit I kind of love them. What is it about them? I am an animal lover and I don't even eat most meat! When did this obsession begin?

Maybe it was that night at Freeman's Restaurant in NYC...It was just so cozy and cool and delicious. Maybe it was the first time I laid eyes on the wallpaper at The Village Idiot in Los Angeles, my neighborhood gastropub...

I wouldn't feel right about having real taxidermy in my house, but the "faux" taxidermy, now that I can get behind. I am loving these tongue and cheek versions...
