Bay Windows By The Bay

Victorian Painted Ladies front San Francisco skyline


One of my favorite sights in San Francisco is the profusion of narrow, fripperous Victorian homes, which are concentrated in Pacific Heights but can be found throughout the city. These "painted ladies", which I prefer to call "birthday cake houses", are famous enough to have their own Wikipedia page and a devoted walking tour. The architecture photos all came from Flickr, and are linked to their sources.

That cyan paint job is the same color as this seafoam eyeshadow:

For the sage-colored house in the middle, I give you Napoleon Perdis loose powder in "Jaded Genie":



Which color is it actually??? Darn misleading product photos! Still works though, right?

Temptalia reviewed a way prettier OCC lip tar, shimmery gold "Triptych".

Okay, I think I'm all matched out for the moment. But I can't resist 1) saying that these "pearls" are lovely and 2) including a few more house shots:
