The Casa du Borghese Altar of Patron Saints is almost complete!
While the Casa du Borghese has many Patron Saints, these are the most major ones....
Ann Miller, Patron Saint of huge, fabulous hair and Talented Taps.
Amy Winehouse, Our Patron Saint of Song, Libations and Wing Eyeliner.
Luigi Mangione- Patron Saint of Adorable Rogue-ness, Killer Smiles, and Antiheros
RuPaul, Patron Saint of Creativeness, Uniqueness Nerve and Talent.
Joan Crawford, Patron Saint of Style, Good Housekeeping, and Giving No Fucks.
And soon, the collection will be complete with the Ultimate Patron Saint....
Lady Bunny, Patron Saint of Filth, Mod Style, and Drag Queens.
Let us bow our heads......
Oooh to be the Patron Saint of Filth!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure our Patron Saint Joan Crawford would agree....
DeleteNice collection. Can't wait to see Lady Bunny's candle.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Love these. We'd need a bigger shelf... Jx
ReplyDeleteTrust me, this could get out of hand...quick! If I got one for all my Patron Saints, it would lokk like St Pats Cathedral in here.
DeleteWow. Lady Bunny has her own candle? How exciting. Can’t wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteI'm have one custom done and I may send her one, thought she might think it's a dildo.
DeleteI still have my Divine prayer candle!
ReplyDeleteIt's a MIRACLE -- I have SEEN THE LIGHT!
ReplyDeleteHail all of the Queens.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I would go back to church if these were the saints!
ReplyDeleteI am partial to St. Amy, you know...
And I would get on my knees and pray to St. Luigi.You know, out of faith.
XOXO
Oh darling I know you're not around on the weekends, but did you see my post from Sunday? Talk about Saint Luigi!
DeleteLOVE it! Though, I would add Babs - patron saint of voice and style and philanthropy.
ReplyDeleteOh, and thank you for the larger font! 😘😘😘
DeleteI used a medium font. It was originally but somehow went back to normal. Damn blogger gremlins.
DeleteGremlins or not...this was so much easier for these eyeballs, and I thank you!!!
DeleteI met Ann Miller long ago when I lived in Hollywood. She was down to earth - - a real sweetheart. Jon
ReplyDeleteI freaking love Ann Miller Jon I'm so jealous! She was far under used in my opinion and not nearly appreciated enough for her talents.
DeleteThese candles exist? I love this collection.
ReplyDeleteI meant to add the link to where I got them they're from a company called luminary and Company. There's some pretty fun things
DeleteI think people are doing more than burning candles for Luigi.
ReplyDeleteI know what I'd like to do to Luigi. I could do more for him all he has to do is ask!!
DeleteOh How Fab. No home should be without their Patrons Saints and I adore yours.
ReplyDeleteAs Jon said we have so many we haven’t shelf space for them all and if we lit a candle for each one the local fire brigade would need to be on hand.
Their photos on the walls (preferably signed) are a much safer option
I agree. Between those and my regular candles, most nights around here look like seance night.
DeleteThose look fabulous!! I really need to watch the Amy Winehouse movie "Back in Black".
ReplyDeleteIts an ok movie, not exactly on point, but definitely worth a watch.
DeleteMy patron saints are different: Rudolph Nureyev, Mary Travers, Malcolm X, Christine Jorgensen and Tallulah Bankhead. My archangels are FDR and JFK, two men that gave the USA courage, hope and inspiration, tangibles sadly lacking and in great need today.
ReplyDeleteWe will never see any of their likes again, something very special about them and many others.
-Rj
I agree with you RJ, those days are gone.
DeleteAnd Rudolph Nureyev could have used and abused me!!!!! And I ADORE Tallulah Bankhead...she is also a Parton Saint at the Casa. Patron Saint of Copious men, Parties and Libations! There was a story of her she told from her doctor. He told her, every time she felt like having a gin, eat an apple. To which she replied, That's fine, but who the hell wants to eat 27 apples a day?
I know how she fells.
As they're saints, you'll have to let us know their Feast Days. Meanwhile, my head is bowed.
