Before I get started, I must admit something: the only reason I know how to spell “wilkommen” is because of the soundtrack liner notes from Cabaret (both film and Broadway versions). A gimmicky start for a blog called Hausfrau but appropriate—even though I am neither a frau nor do I live in a haus. Let’s just say being one step removed from both gives me some perspective.
Speaking of perspective, as a forty-something homosexual male I think I have a lot of it—or at least that’s the impression I get from the number of people who seek my advice, rightly or wrongly, on matters of life and style. I suppose that’s because I’ve been around long enough to view things with a critical eye—though not so long as to have become jaded. That I have no shortage of opinions doesn’t hurt, either.
My company, Barbarian, focuses primarily on interior
decoration, but that in no way restricts my point of view. As I mention on my
site: although focused on matters of design, here you will find opinions—for
better or worse—on aspects of culture high and low, current events,
entertaining, food, fashion and other matters of gracious living. Whether
you’re inspired, amused, entertained or offended (give me time) I’m glad you’re
here.
Wilkommen, to press a point. I’m going to shut up now as I
find introductory messages both tedious and difficult to write. Here we go…
