Barbie has her playhouse; Shoothouse Barbie has her tactically correct playhouse! I recently moved from a not so nice part of town into a sweet little duplex. I have a yard, and the plural of “room”. Before I fully unpacked, White Mike asked me if I had yet to decorate the place.

“No, but I’m planning on putting up a few things, pictures, some stuff…”

“Well, you need to let me know when you do, because I need to be there.”

“Wha? Why?” I was confused. See, White Mike is a big ‘ol Hungarian-Texan, and about as traditional as they come. Why would he care about my decor? “I think I can manage. I do own a hammer-”

“Ok, just make sure you hang some tactical pictures.”

Tactical pictures?

White Mike then explained the art of tactical home decoration. It’s all about using reflective surfaces to your advantage. And now, without further ado, may I present tactical mirror and tactical clock:

See the tactical mirror? This is the view from just inside my front door. Let’s see what tactical mirror shows us from the bedroom…

Tactical mirror is tactical. Now, venture downstairs with me…

Going downstairs, we can see tactical clock…

Tactical clock is also tactical.

I’m heading out to Tucson on Friday for boyfriend’s defense. Later next week, the dollhouse will also contain a tactical boyfriend and tactical dog. (Although…I”m not sure how tactical miss Elektra Blu really is. I mean, she barks at stuff – most of the time. Her forte is really laying about and looking pretty.)

I’ll also be adding about 20 more firearms to the collective armory. Here’s tactically correct boyfriend with one of them:

[...] Tactical Home Decor Posted August 5, 2009 Filed under: Guns, self defense | Tags: Guns, Home, self defense | Shoothouse Barbie just moved into some new digs. Consequently, decorating had to happen. She didn’t just throw up random nick-nacks… she made things were both decorative and functional. [...]

I have always used my tv to watch what the animals are doing on the balcony but never thought about other options. thanks. I live in an apartment in the questionable part of town and always wonder “what if”. Now I can make some helpful changes.

He did a nice job. Glad you have a friend who thinks like that.

And, that range looks like the S/W regional gun range. Like shooting there.

Actually, I was the one who did the nice job…he (White Mike) just told me that I should think tactically while decorating :-)

did the same thing in my new house. I have a bad spot to clear coming out of my bedroom. a mirror helps. My wife scraficed and did not place the mirror in the middle of the wall, but moved it over so I could see as far into the hall as possible.
