When the R's were petitioning BH for variances associated with their proposed Gardens of Versailles, so not confident of her choice Mark Rios (landscape architect) to present the issue correctly to the Planning Commission, she just HAD to pop up at the end of the proceedings to make her own overblown case. It's on film, if you check the BH commission archives, you will definitely see the winner of a Rotten Tomato Award for " Crude and Entitled".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-50794983965364997152010-10-27T12:02:41.252-07:002010-10-27T12:02:41.252-07:00I wonder how much Diane Keaton's house told fo...I wonder how much Diane Keaton's house told for.

I like that, but she is too over-the-top for me at the same time.<br /><br />Also...poor Samiis for having to deal with Ms. Guinness! That's why I woudl never want an expensive apartment, but ratehr a single-family house.

Dear departed nancy used to share how Linda would always arrive at her luncheons with a driver AND separate person to hold umbrella (i think she borrowed from p.diddy) so she would not get that nasty sun from the 30sec walk via car to front door.ugggg the new rich. though linda has come along way from "decorator asst to drunken billy hibbert" she married well. Stuart is also the current mulholland of this era, stealing the water from up north to keep is pistachio orchards going. but the best story.Is years ago when they invested in "Flippers" where the current CVS is located , When the whole thing went belly up, they were just tacky and cheap enough to make FLIPPER, yes there was an actual Flipper, a wild exotic english man.... well, they made him work off his debt as their butler, eeech, to my surprise when I entered the house one day in the early 80s.<br />About the house, only three owners, built in 1917? for one million dollars, 2nd owner, brother of owner lived there in run down mess with thousands of cats, then in 1977 purchased by stuart resnick for $1,000,000.......crazy, anway, cant wait to read the book, supposedly, amongst all their holdings, they also OWN mayor Villarosa........go figure<br />If you get the urge, you can always contactt linda via her blog, and you will get a smart return email from her assit, disputing that Fiji water leaves the largest carbon footprint of any water, and that those stories of the resnicks armed guards keeping the natives (shoot on sight)from the springs, are all lies. hmmmRonna Bare-itnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-9439903354719530532010-10-27T10:21:56.725-07:002010-10-27T10:21:56.725-07:00Oh yes, the faux Resnicks!

Interesting how one of the adjacent house burned down in a suspicious fire...paint cans in the garage or some such story and the other just popped up to enable the future expansion for the nouveau gardens of Versailles. This faaahaaaaaabulous empire was built on proceeds from the Franklin Mint which essentially sold worthless but " oh so collectable" merchandise to millions of people. It went on from there to selling faux replicant pearls of Jackie Kennedy's already faux pearls( which at least were authentically hers). Now we have Fiji water in plastic bottle flying in on transpacific flights so that the bottles can eventually collect in the giant plastic, pacific horror story which is threatening the ocean, all that resides in it and eventually all that consume fish and seaweed from it. Moving on to Pom Wonderful , that magic elixir touted to cure all ills. Every era has its snake oil salesmen and marketing gurus promising you everything, happy to take your money giving you nothing of value in return. Voila!

I used to ride through there regularly. Apparently some new structure has appeared on the property which looks totally faux and out of place, apparently built by the most recent owner. Perhaps the Clinton's should find the original photographs, knock this pastiche down and return the property to its original calm. Maybe they are getting this vibe and just waiting for it to pencil out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-18436800595805975782010-10-25T14:16:00.703-07:002010-10-25T14:16:00.703-07:00What is the buyer's commission on a house in t...What is the buyer's commission on a house in the 10m range? 3% would make it $300K.... <br /><br />Gosh to think that if they had to make 100 house visits it would reduce the realtor's rate to $3K per visit.

The agents are upset because they want the Clinton's money, yesterday, regardless of whether the purchase price is fair or not, but Hill and Bill are too smart to piss their money away. <br /><br />And no one's forcing them to show the place, but they keep doing it, again, because they want the Clinton's money.
