"Krazy Kat in 1920 was a "Bohemian joint in an old stable up near Thomas Circle ... (where) artists, musicians, atheists, professors" gathered. Miraculously the structure still stands, five blocks from the White House, as a gay bar called the Green Lantern. " - Independent Gay Forum
Hmmm... I think I want to go back in time and dress like a bohemian gypsy with a bob haircut and rolled down stockings, hang out in a tree house and have my portrait painted by a man named Cleon Throckmorton. Is that really too much to ask?
For the full effect see the photos here, here, here, here and here.

NO WAY! These are so amazing! Abandon all soap! I love it.
these are probably some of my favorite photos you've ever posted! I want to live right in them! I wish something like the Algoniquin round table still existed, the idea of poets/artists/professors etc gathering and just discussing sounds fantastic.
I love tree houses!
