Ugly Lamps … Where are they now?

Another friendly reminder that the UGLY LAMP CONTEST is coming! I am still accepting submissions until Aug. 21st, so if you have an ugly lamp in your life, take a glamour shot of that sucker and send it to me!  Details here.

But before I assault your eyeballz with full on fug, lets do a few warm ups with some formerly ugly lamps.  These lamps used to suffer from awkwardness and general unattractiveness, but they are smokin’ hot now. I imagine them confidently strolling into their 10 year reunions all nonchalant while all the other lamps who were mean to them in high school jaws drop.

This lamp from Sonya used to be that hippie girl in school who went barefoot a lot and sewed her own clothes.

 

Now she’s a high powered fashion industry executive who moonlights as a back-up dancer for Madonna. (In my imaginary world lamps do these types of things, what?) See more at At Home with the Barkers.

 

Valerie’s lamp was a bit of late bloomer.

 

She didn’t develop her curves until much later.  (Rumor has it that she’s been … artificially enhanced). Is it true?? Get the scoop on Valerie’s blog at Home Made Modern.

 

And lastly, Tania’s lamp finally grew up and graduated from her ‘grunge phase.’

 

Who knew she was such a natural beauty underneath all along?! I wonder if she’s single.
