Website Offers Captions for Catalogs

Wednesday, 07 July 2010 | by Pat's Picks

In the spirit of Awkward Family Photos, the people at Catalog Living have dipped their pens in sarcasm to dissect the seemingly flawless lifestyles that are delivered to American doorsteps via mail-order catalogs. Apparently, it’s the creation of a LA-based comedienne and, I’ve got to say the results are pretty funny. A little poking around on the site reveals that Pottery Barn is by far and away the biggest source of material. It happens to be a Pottery Barn photo of a highly styled entryway that inspired my favorite captions. It reads, “Our entryway set-up is great!  Now I never forget my hat, burlap satchel, or life preserver.”
