In order to enhance your viewing experience, I have transcribed my favorite lines in this etsy.com video spotlighting the vintage collectibles of Jennifer Perkins aka Naughty Secretary Club, Austin, Texas. Her quippy quotes pretty much capture the insanity of our whole little mid mod mad world, yup they do:
Hell to the yeah I want that beauty parlor chair… How am I gonna say no to free taxidermy? One of my favorite things in my house is my naked picture of Bert Reynolds… I’ll pay you $5 to take ’em so I don’t have to pack ’em up and take ’em home… You just kinda have to keep an open eye for these things… So once I have three, I’m like, why stop now, it’s already a collection… Some people take home decorating way to seriously but not meeee… Let’s all keep our fingers crossed or my house might sink…

LOL! Jennifer’s a hoot! I’ll bet you could spend days just looking around and not see everything! I know you showed us your favorite items, but is there one collection that totally warms you heart – that you’d always collect????? Happy hunting!! 🙂
Hip hop hooray glad you liked the video and my digs, thanks oodles for the repost.
She is just too cute! I really enjoyed the tour of her stuff, and I can so relate to her addiction to collecting! I have shied away from taxidermy, and keep my possessions down to a 15 minute dusting limit, but I really did enjoy watching the video. Thank you for once again making me giggle!
I hope that’s 15 minutes per room, or I’m in serious trouble here. . . 🙂
From here forward I am committed to working the phrase “How am I gonna say no to free taxidermy?” into conversations.
What a sweet house! Now I know who’s getting all the great finds at Goodwill. Who gives away a naked photo of Bert Reynolds? That’s something you pass down to your kids.
Jennifer, you are too adorable! I want to move to Austin just so you can be my BFF and I can hang out at your place. What a fun, happy house!
Wow, yet another person I was separated at birth from!
Just showed the Video to Nikki and she is massively Jealous of all the fun stuff in your house. She gives you two thumbs up approval for coolness.
Wow. Lucky Tallulah, to get to grow up in such a fun home!
My husband came over to see what I was laughing about. Naked Burt Reynolds, what else needs to be said? I love it all!
Yes, now I want one of those really bad, too….
I have a parody poster featuring Bullwinkle posing as Burt Reynolds (with the quote “eat your heart out Burt Reynolds”.)

It is quite a conversation piece.
Fabulous! I am SO all about this home and Jennifer’s joy and enthusiasm. And amen to free taxidermy!
Once you have three, it’s a collection. Removed every bit of guilt I have for continually buying another one of something I wanted and found. Why do I need another one? Because the first one was so hard to find! And after you find the first one, they’re falling out of the sky on you.
OMG!!!! I WANNA! I WANNA! I WANNA! !!!!!!!!! Oops!! Gotta go! MAD MEN’S ON!!!!
Most.Perfect.House.Ever.
Love it all!!!!!
The tropical and asian remind me of my house, only soooo much more, lol!
I have a few hawaiian souvenir pillows too, love them! And that green radio on the shelf at 00:46 I have the exact same one but in black, it was my grandfathers.
Just a great happy house!
