On my way to brunch with Brian yesterday, I came across this setup outside the Museum of Crime & Punishment, a new tourist trap here in D.C. Oddly enough, it was the museum’s signage that first caught my attention — not this unintentional paean to bondage fetishists — and led me to think out loud, “Oh, that’s new!”
This morning, I caught a commercial for this museum for the first time.
Right next door to the museum is the Cop Shop; I can only assume that it’s the museum’s gift store. Among the trinkets and other miscellany one can purchase there is a black beach towel with a crime scene outline printed on it. (Classy!) I’m willing to bet dollars to donuts [rimshot!] that this store might do some brisk business during MAL.

Could this be the start of a new trend in design?
This week on America’s Next Design Star: “Yes, my inspiration for your day room is… fetish! A sling easily doubles as a hammock, these cuffs make a lovely room divider and if you sew together some riding crops, they’re fantastic window blinds!”

@brian: Didn’t Madonna have a room done like that?
