This house would be a hard on because it needs so much and, yet, at some level you want to leave the patina intact. The old Packard limo was the icing on the cake - an old car was a major player in <i>Sunset Boulevard</i>, it makes one wonder if that isn't the vibe they were after.Dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-88186514596432831752011-06-29T14:03:25.607-07:002011-06-29T14:03:25.607-07:00Well whoever gets it, get the Million Dollar Decor...Well whoever gets it, get the Million Dollar Decorators to redo it and make a reality show about it.

It doesn't mention the half-completed array of awful sculptural detritus, presumably by the Missus, that have taken over Mr. Burr's greenhouse, along with rows and rows of yet-to-be-potted plants, awaiting the call to invasion like something out of a 50s sci fi horror flick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-5482077623902116082011-06-23T08:49:32.884-07:002011-06-23T08:49:32.884-07:00wow what a massive gut job project-best of friggin...wow what a massive gut job project-best of friggin luck to the prospective buyer!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-75710246068540756332011-06-23T02:44:17.265-07:002011-06-23T02:44:17.265-07:00One of Raymond Burr's hobbies was said to be c...One of Raymond Burr's hobbies was said to be cooking.

My ...<i><b>"...it's rather magnificent..."</b></i><br /><br />My new catchphrase; along with, of course, <i><b>"...a sexually frustrated drill sergeant in a foul mood..."</b></i> (<i>that bed is just perfect to link both of these phrases ––– think about it.</i>)<br /><br />Those interested in <a href="http://takesunset.com/2011/06/the-raymond-burr-estate-in-hollywood-hills/" rel="nofollow">Raymond Burr's</a> period of residency need look no further. Nicely sited at the end of a cul-de-sac, with two entrances to the grounds that back up onto the aforementioned Wattles Gardens & Runyon Canyon, makes for a promising palette ––– given the 2.5 acre grounds & the rather sturdily built main house.<br /><br />Nowhere near organic architecture, but rather organic design; or what happens when the unschooled eye meets the accommodating pocketbook. The result is never to <i>everyone's</i> taste, but a perfect backdrop to a specific life.<br /><br />Would I do "________"? <b>Never.</b> I'd sooner die hetero in the arms of a under-aged crack whore.<br /><br />But do I have the professional decorator's equivalent of a velvet Elvis painting somewhere in my home? You betcha. And I don't think that there's one of Mama's well-adjusted chillrun who do not have a secret violation of one of her rigorous decorating rules shamefully hidden behind their locked doors. Kinda like going home with that burly, tattooed strongman only to find a crocheted toilet paper hat & carved fruit soaps in a dish in his bathroom ––– completely kills the illusion.lil' gay boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115496241247504856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-80032429399568975112011-06-21T13:50:13.002-07:002011-06-21T13:50:13.002-07:00Dear Jeremy Renner,
