They say "don't touch me, just stand about 5 feet away so you don't find out I'm not perfect." I've never thought of her dresses as appropriate for sexually/socially confident women, like Badgley Mischka's are, for instance. I expect the same kind of insecure, showy (complete with poor choice of window drapery and kitchen stools) -- albeit somewhat lovely -- decore to be just the kind of place she'd live in, as that's what her dresses have always been about, to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-22825304040034312902007-07-29T06:31:00.000-07:002007-07-29T06:31:00.000-07:00It is a beautiful floor plan.

Bill Buckley lives there, but he might find the building depressing now that his wife Pat is dead. The late Claudia Cohen lived there, and her daughter Samantha Perelman probably does not need the apartment; she can live in Daddy's townhouse until he buys her a place of her own. The have been reports that Brooke Astor might finally die soon, although legal issues will have to be sorted out. Charles Fortgang of M. Fabrikant & Company, the diamond wholesaler, also lives in the building, and his company recently declared bankruptcy. So maybe he could use $30 mil or so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-28913184343828652332007-07-28T04:23:00.000-07:002007-07-28T04:23:00.000-07:00I don't know what side of town you came from, Mama...I don't know what side of town you came from, Mama, but it's obvious that it's not the same as Vera's.

Not that I think there is anything wrong with this, it's just like the 100's of other Park Avenue classic apartments .... With decor like this the place will sell far faster than if it was some modern show place - thats not what Park Av buyers want, they want refined elegance so I guess this place will suit them fine ... [Though at $35M I'd rather be on 5th with a Park View] ... She should sell this place & 740 & buy an amazing townhouse ... Isn't the Guccione place still on the market? Also mama, has Madonna bought the place on E63rd?
