Twin Palms is just *gorgeous*, isn’t it? Vive la moderne! Great choice and fine pix. Thanks for the link to Toby Weiss’s weblog, very inDERezsting – and *that’s* where the specific Damned Don’t Cry connexion comes in! I read these two posts backwards 😉
I think you’ll get a charge out of this: http://www.palmspringslife.com/Palm-Springs-Life/September-2010/The-Road-to-Fame-and-Fortune/
That *did* give me a charge. Fantastic architecture and telling details (Liberace “living in a garage”…) – riches! Thank yooooouuuuu, Ms Vickie.
The article says it’s a driving tour but you could walk most of the route fairly easily, you’re welcome Mr. Kaplan 🙂
All those gorgeous lines, angles and swirls.
Sobbing with longing and regret at having missed the whole “dressing for dinner” scenario!
Now, now, as I recall you apply lipstick to clean house 😉
Dressing for dinner-ah those days are gone for me.I might tousle my hair slightly before eating and in Winter pick the odd dead leaf or two from my head if I have accumulated too many.Other than that I dont bother.
As a child dressing for dinner meant no T-shirts at the table, these days it’s a wonder if we gather in the dining room at all…
Vickie,Thank you.A lovely and elegant house.Thank you also for the link to Palm Springs.I notice a certain pianist is described{or was it just his house} as flamboyant-well who would have thought it?
His tailor 😉
