Dear Casa readers, can you clear something up for me? Who is the targeted customer for the Urban Outfitters Leg Desk Lamp ($60)? I mean, besides the Old Man from A Christmas Story?

    Personally, I love the movie, although I think the targeted audience was originally men for the lamp! However, for those of us who love the movie, I could be the craziest Christmas decoration ever in a room for the "males" of the house!

    Christmas Story is my favorite holiday movie, I would love to have one. It would be a great item to put out for the holidays, but not for the rest of the year.

    I love Christmas Story. I can picture Dita Von Teese's dressing room with this lamp.

    I think the target audience would be a young professional bachelor man. just out of college making some money and has no idea how to pull together a living room, so he goes to urban outfitters and goes, "dude this is sweet".

    I could see one put in my living room by my fiance.

    Maybe it's because I really don't love "A Christmas Story", but I hate this lamp. It's so cheesy.

    LOVE IT!

    I got one for my brother a few years ago. Targeted customers would be MEN. Bachelors or married men with their own rec rooms (since most wives will hate it). Personally I love the original replica... a 50" deluxe full size leg lamp in the "FRAGILE" Cardboard Box!

    I'm having a conflict.

    I hate (x 800) dismembered pieces of women's bodies used as decorations. I think that it speaks to the inherent violence against women that is pervasive in our culture.

    I also love the movie, and would like to have this as a Christmas decoration.

    Conflicted.

    I think it would be funny as a joke gift for someone who I knew really enjoyed that movie. Or even just as a white elephant gift. I mean, seriously. What would you do with that lamp?

    My husband loves the movie but there is no way I would let him have a lamp like this, it's ugly and tacky.

    for some reason it just reminds me of something you would see in a boys dorm room.
