This picture is for Maxine.

She wanted to inspect the reverse side of the plate (seen earlier, here).

"Vavro." That would be a good brand name for....

... maybe I shouldn't come right out and say it....

I gaze out my hotel window and think about whether there's enough vortex on the blog today.

Why would Maxine be so interested in the reverse side of a plate?

The answer, actually, is pretty straightforward.

Here’s a test.

See if you can spot which one’s her.

Him?

Vavro...put a little va-va-voom in your ovaries.

Hey, is that a phallic building on the right side? Hmmm...let's take a closer look.

Carrot Stick Tower?

former law student বলেছেন...

The tower was the gift of Lillian Hitchcock Coit to honor the efforts of SF firefighters during the fires of 1906. She supposedly admired the shape of their nozzles.

Vavro: What if Astro (from the Jetsons) plugged a feminine hygiene product?

Villeroy & Boch? I'll take old Wedgwood over that Luxembourgian tat any day.

Or how about if 18th century Sèvres made a cameo appearance on your room service breakfast tray? Or something a little Imari, by way of Chelsea?

On second thought, none of that should be trusted to clumsy room service staff, let alone to indiscriminate guests.

Personally, I am mortally offended if anyone sees genitalia in what is merely architecture. Some people just have dirty minds.

Did you have to photograph it on the rug? Now Maxine is gonna' go on a carpet rampage.

"Italian marble bathrooms with double sinks, telephone, and separate water closet"

"Kohler Performance 'rain' showerheads

"400-thread-count 100% combed cotton Frette linens"

"Plush terry bathrobes"

"Chinoiserie cabinets, European influenced bed chests and intricately detailed bedside tables and headboards"

Well, where's the rest of the photos?

Bathroom fixtures, swirls in the marble etc...

You need to flip the mattress to see if it's a Simmons, Serta, Sealy etc.

Listen, how many times in your life are you gonna stay at the Ritz? I'd think you'd photo that place from top to bottom!

Grusinskaya: Oh Baron Flix, I am so melancholy today.
Baron Felix von Geigern: Why is that my little linzer torte.
Grusinskaya: No one seems interested in my vortex today. A lack of attention will lead to it becoming dry and lifeless.
Baron Felix von Geigern: I told you I would be happy to delve into your vortex. Come and have coffee with me. I will whisper sweet nothings and tell you of my glories in the criminal defense bar in the Bronx, Mount Vernon and Rockland county. I will instruct you in the ways of the world and teach you of the mysteries of love.
Grusinskaya: I don’t know Baron, you seem a little intense for my taste.
Baron Felix von Geigern: My dear that is not intensity, but potency. I am so potent that my entire body was stiff for ten straight years. My entire body was a rock hard tumescent shower of testosterone. It is only recently that I have learned to control it and to walk upright in the realm of lesser mortals.
Grusinskaya: I don’t know, I think I must broaden my horizons. I am entering an online contest for the swirlest most bestest vortex in all of the internets.
Baron Felix von Geigern:Lesbian.
(Grand Hotel, 1932)

Kroger has a ``feminine needs'' aisle separate from the greeting card aisle and the dinnerware aisle.

Sympathy: ``Sorry about your vavro.''

And the product needs a slogan. ... ``Not just for bleeding brake lines.''

Frisky city basking, gleaming in the sun --

"Let's work up an appetite by climbing up to Coit."
"Then back down to Chinatown for dim sung!"

Naughty city smiling up and down its flanks --
What luck it is to be here, what fun.

Now we know what's on the flip side of those plates from Judy Chicago's "The Dinner Party."
