How to Make Curtains: Part 2

May 14, 2011 in How to Make Curtains, Human Rights

In the previous installment of How to Make Curtains, we learned about some of the hidden roles and advantages of shower curtains that often go unnoticed.  We learned that when most of the people are having trouble selecting the proper color for their cars and home appliances, believe it or not, they usually go for purple color.  We also learned about what impoverished Harley Davidson fans do when they can’t satisfy their cravings.

This week, we’ll be discussing Oriental Shower Curtains, Funny Shower Curtains, and String Curtains. 

Are you seeking peace and tranquility in your life?  When most of the people tire of the hectic pace of metropolitan cities, they look to the Orient for the answer to their questions.  For many people, their first step is purchasing Oriental shower curtains.


Have you grown tired of bathing?  Does the idea of taking another shower make you go “Oh my motherfucking God if I have to take another boring motherfucking shower I’m going to slice my motherfucking wrists until I bleed all over this motherfucking bathroom?”  Then funny shower curtains are probably the answer for you.


Do you enjoy the finer things in life, like elegant apartments with luxurious wall-to-wall carpet and a hot and exciting shower after a sweaty day at the office?  Do you feel like you are in a class that is generally above that of most of the human beings?  Will you settle for nothing less than 18 strings per inch?  Then if you can afford it, you should probably buy some string curtains to drape from the ceiling in your living rooms.

    I’ve never been to an Asian country, but I’m gratified to see that the oriental curtains that are exploding all over Europe are equally as accepted in Asia.

    I don’t struggle to take a shower, nor do i love it, but I love a good gag. I recently purchased novelty ice cubes that would go great with a whimsical shower curtain.

    I know that the site said that it’s no surprise that string curtains are often known as palatial or queen curtains, but I was a bit surprised. I probably had my guard down.

    @ Chillbear Latrigue:
    What DO your shower curtains look like, CBL? For some reason I’m picturing a world map in off-pastel colors…

    (Lenin, I’m assuming, still has the black-and-white Johnny Depp photo shower curtain, because, y’know, Mexico).

    I usually switch out my shower curtain each morning, depending on what mood I’m in. For example, this morning I used a yellow denim country shower curtain, if that gives you an idea what my morning was like.

    I’d like to hear from some of the commenters who may struggle with the decision to take a shower at the beginning and end of there day. How do they deal with the drudgery?

    @ DieterTheMasseur: I have a blue and beige plaid in one bathroom and a black and beige check in the other. Typing this out really makes me feel like a tasteless clod. I’m hoping that it’s kind of like describing ties. They might look nice on your neck, but the description is usually comical.

    I have never owned a novelty shower curtain and I never will. And I don’t “do” patterns. So mine is white. I would like this bathroom someday, no shower curtain needed, you can all watch me soak if that’s your thing. I would stay in that tub all damned day, only taking breaks to wander out onto the beach and get dirty again.

    @ misslinda:
    I would put string curtains with natural beads and fringe panels all over that bitch, but then my tastes are for that which is clearly out of the reach of ordinary people.

    My guest bath has a lovely white terrycloth “hotel” shower curtain; my bath, a chocolate/white mod design; my son’s has a striped shower curtain. Nowhere in my home does an “oriental” design, much less a super tacky string or “comical” shower curtain, reside; however, we do manage to get ourselves clean and sparkly on a daily basis, and none of us suffer in any way, though getting Boygerbil to shower sometimes feels like torture to him (he hasn’t discovered masturbation yet, though last night he was complaining to me, while on the way to take his shower, that he had yet another unsolicited boner – I suspect that his showers will become longer in the near future).

    I call bullshit on these shower curtains. They suck.

    @ Chillbear Latrigue:
    I’m sure they match your vertical blinds nicely.

    @ Latterday Lenin:
    Yes, I know, my tastes tend towards the pedestrian. Curtains in general make my skin crawl, so I can’t imagine living with a wall full of strings. If it doesn’t make a neat and clean right angle, it doesn’t belong in my home (mid-century modern chairs excluded, of course):

    “Several people all over the world…”

    I love the author’s commitment to the cause of public education regarding curtain trends and fashions. I apparently have been really cavalier about my home decorating choices, which I shall attempt to remedy someday.
