Chiffonhead

A die-hard fan of the Queen of Rock n Roll, Stevie Nicks. They usually are high maintenance fans, who own the platform boots, the Gold Dust Shawls, the Cresent Moon necklaces, and tambourines. They are the coolest people you'll ever meet.

I have 300 other fellow Chiffonheads as friends on Facebook, Tumblr & Twitter.

chiffonier

A chiffonier (or cheffonier) is a piece of furniture differentiated from the sideboard by its smaller size and by the enclosure of the whole of the front by doors. Its name (which comes from the French for a rag-picker) suggests that it was originally intended as a receptacle for odds and ends which had no place elsewhere, but it now usually serves the purpose of a sideboard.

He was picking up my personal stuff off my desk and chiffonier.
