Home The Price is Right For Crazy Coconut

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Wed, Sep 26 at 11:31 AM

Someone recently said there should be a The Price is Right just for clothing and shoes (and accessories), and I’d love to be a part of that. If anyone knows anything about starting up a TV show, let me know. In the meantime, the actual The Price is Right is apparently now hosted by Drew Carey. I don’t actually watch TV (unless you count YouTube—do you need to watch TV to start a TV show?), so that’s kind of a big WTF to me. But! Those of you who do watch and love TV should check out this new (and improved?) version of the show, debuting Monday, October 15 at 10 am on CBS, and keep your eyes peeled for Crazy Coconut wallpapers, designed by M.O.D.’s own Amy Rosko, along with her partner Mike Estes. According to Amy, they ordered three styles:

It’s unclear what they’ll use them for, but it’s safe to assume they’ll be on a wall. Behind a lovely set of china perhaps?
