Her shoulder-length bejeweled earrings were custom made in New York City. Once a little boy approached her at a Portland opera, and he said, "Lady, are you rich?" And she said, "Yes I am." Those suckers would convert nicely to any number of fine chandeliers. That apartment was sparkly down to the very tips of Hedy’s ears.

A big square pink tub that would now be Jacuzzi I suppose. And the mirrored tiles were the kind with the gold flecks. The whole bathroom was reminiscent of the ladies' apartments in the complex we lived in when I was a kid in the late 70s. Those ladies are the reason to this day that I love gold shoes.

I'd be compelled to sing showtunes and choreograph large stage numbers to perform for the always-captive audience of my reflection. (and she always wants an encore.)

Oh, I can find the big blinking stuff alright, like the Asian inspired blocky blond mahogany table, which looks incredible in her dining room. Or maybe a 1974 Cadillac with 35,000 original miles--which I always desperately want because it's such a good deal. I'll go home and pine for this car that I never once considered before. I don't need it; it's crazy really, but I'm so tempted. The only way my husband can distract me is by offering to open a bottle of champagne, which I understand on good authority, can be opened at any hour of the day without cause for alarm. I also "found" a mahogany breakfront, some twenty years ago, but I paid over $1,200 for it, and now that I want to move it along, I can't even brag that it once belonged to Neil Goldschmidt's grandmother, because that's not exactly of big selling point these days. So anyway, Megan can reach into a pile of "I can't believe they're trying to sell this stuff," and pull out an exquisite necklace for $2 that I wouldn't have seen had it grown a tail rattle and bit me. Not to mention, she can be minding her own business outside far from the maddening crowd and people give her stuff. Meanwhile, I'm still inside trying to negotiate a $5 price break on necklace marked $66.50. Which I only found it because it was in a big lighted "stuff for suckers" display case. I'll probably never wear it, but by dog, I wasn't about to leave empty handed. P.S. You can always leave a bid on the car and still enjoy the champagne.

Nice chandeliers, too -- very Trump. You are hereby absolved for your errant bar carting. Maybe it's the picture, but it looks like it really cleaned up nicely. Me like. Ooooh, spicy wallpaper!
