Sam Jacob reviews My Passion for Design by Barbra Streisand in Icon Magazine. After watching The Way We Were, nothing can change my love for Barbra, especially not her unashamed, run-wild relationship to decorating:
In describing this schizophrenic plurality, Streisand drops quotes of gnomic Duchampian quality. A chapter title, for example, reads “The Door Has Two Faces” and begins with the intriguing design concept that “most of the doors you’re going to see in this house are different on each side”.also:
The basement is imagined as a street where storefronts are used to display her various collections – Bee’s Doll Shop, The Gift Shoppe and so on. She then explains that this is really recreating museum street-scene re-enactments. So this is, in some ghostly way, a house that’s swallowed a museum that’s swallowed a town.Nice to see Streisand’s decorating habits meet Icon Magazine. Now, will Sam Jacob please interview Nicolas Cage on his real estate addiction?
