In thing: Lampshades by Emma Bernhardt
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.While most people come back from holiday with a suntan, Emma Bernhardt brought back yards of tacky, time-warped plastic tablecloths: Mexican tablecloths. 'I thought they'd make great lampshades.'
She's right. They do.
For it seems that Emma, who brought the big plastic crown air fresheners to the city's BMW drivers, has an beady eye for consumable kitsch. So, for that kitchen with campy cultural clout, buy South of the Border, down Mexico way.
Mini lampshades cost pounds 20. The maxi, made-to-order versions cost pounds 35 at Emma Bernhardt Designs (071-928 1834).
