1. I don't know. That art is not as tacky as his music, imo
I loved the Police, but most of his solo stuff leaves me feeling... meh.

2. Wow. That's a whole lot of red.
And that photo over the bed is a bit much.

4. I guess I'm fortunate to live with a man who makes me hot
I don't need tacky softcore porn on the bedroom wall to do it. :eyes:

6. Exactly. I'm A Man, and I Would Never Decorate My Bedroom That Way
A bedroom should look beautiful in the day light. You don't want your woman feeling a like a cheap hooker in the morning.

5. Reminds me of one of my favorite lines out of Van Wilder..
"Decorated in early fuck."

7. Hey, those are pretty famous Helmut Newton prints...
Just because it's not Better Homes and Gardens beige on taupe is no reason to get all offended. Let the rock star have his sexy boudoir. At least he's not Ted Nugent or Toby Keith... and at least he's fucking his wife.

17. Are you sure he's only fucking his wife?
The very article in the OP mentioned swingers' parties.

Hmm....

18. I didn't say ONLY his wife...
possibly other people's wives as well. And single women, and groupies. But if everyone is smiling, that's what counts.

8. Minus the wall art, that could be a room at the Madonna Inn.
in San Luis Obispo, CA

11. They can have whatever they want on their walls, IMHO...
Whatever it takes to keep the passion alive in their marriage!

I don't think it's tacky at all...

But that's just me...:shrug:

13. Ever been to Graceland?
You've never seen tacky interior decorating by a rich rock star until you've seen Graceland. Especially the Jungle Room. :scared:

14. Whatever floats your boat.....

15. That room screams
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

16. maybe but i like the color scheme
i too have a chinese red room but i sometimes think of re-doing it or doing another, not that i have time or money for such

admit i would not put a helmut newton on my walls, i get a kick out of his work in a book of photographs or an old vogue magazine but i don't like large images of semi/naked people on my walls, too much like either a brothel or a museum
