You make it sound life threating.

Isn't that what insane asylums use for their decor?

Only the top one of those is actually Chinz... and it's actually quite a nice one.

The second one is paisley... which isn't Chintz. It's also ugly.

The thrid is just a floral. It's not bad if you like that kind of floral, but I don't.

PAISLEY AND FLOWERED WALLPAPER? BLAME MARTHA STEWART AND THE GAY COMMUNITY.

Actually both of those groups tend to be anti-chinz, anti-paisley and anti-floral decor. The go for large blocks of solids.

You want to blame it on anyone... blame it on your grandmas and great-aunts.

Blame my mother.

In most cases I don't like it... but I do like the first one Danalysis put up. I like the stylized, orientalized look.

Exactly.

It's little old ladies that love chintz.

This is a chintz nightmare!

And no self-respecting gay man would have it in his house, nor would Martha Stewart.
