I've been captivated by Huguette's (pronounced ee-GET) life ever since Mama introduced her first missive on the Clark mess in 2010. <br /><br /><i>Empty Mansions</i> was a fabulously informative and haunting read, as are the countless online stories about her life and the circus that has following her death: the wills; stolen art; self-serving players; various exploitations, et cetera. Such a tangled web. <br /><br />I've always loved the bones and siting of this estate, and such a sexy staircase. I flutter. <br /><br />Here's hoping the book's Pulitzer Prize winning author, Bill Dedman, has had the opportunity to provide continuing endnotes in subsequent print runs as her posthumous story continues to unfold. More opportunists are in the wings for their perceived entitlements of the now-settled will. The day-nurse piece of this drama is a total trip in and of itself.<br /><br />As for the Santa Barbara estate, crazy as is may sound, she and her mother had it leveled and rebuilt for no reason other than to keeping workers employed.<br /><br />Eccentric is an understatement. Line-iteming every kernal of this sad saga would take forever, plus it's all out there on the internet for anyone with time and interest to read.<br /><br />Crazy stuff.Sandpipernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-77765079360909838342014-02-18T20:33:46.000-08:002014-02-18T20:33:46.000-08:00Jeff Blau of Related bought their townhouse, suppo...Jeff Blau of Related bought their townhouse, supposedly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-57470945811164966042014-02-18T17:40:32.534-08:002014-02-18T17:40:32.534-08:00At first glance I thought this was the Sandra bull...At first glance I thought this was the Sandra bullock's re-done house on Angelo!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13406213216787284944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-61959853034724080952014-02-18T16:51:16.372-08:002014-02-18T16:51:16.372-08:00Speaking of taste, Huguette Clark seems not to hav...Speaking of taste, Huguette Clark seems not to have suffered from her father's apparent lack of it, as evidenced in the <a href="http://www.shorpy.com/node/1484" rel="nofollow"><i>Senator Clark Mansion</i></a> in Manhattan, a fin de siecle confection of the 19th century.<br /><br />Considered over-the-top and already out of fashion (it took 11 years to complete), it remained one of the most elaborate houses ever constructed in Manhattan up until its demolition.<br /><br />Anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating, under-the-radar woman will find the recently published <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Empty-Mansions-Mysterious-Huguette-Spending/dp/0345534522/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1392770973&sr=1-1&keywords=empty+mansion" rel="nofollow"><i>Empty Mansions</i></a> a good read.<br /><br />Given the time capsule nature of this particular house, I doubt even the Krakoffs could manage too much harm without a deliberate, concerted effort to do so,lil' gay boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115496241247504856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-82881656227076077712014-02-18T15:35:43.143-08:002014-02-18T15:35:43.143-08:002:43 let me lay this out for you..the only way thi...2:43 let me lay this out for you..the only way this couple has taste is to purchase it.
