Oh Vogue…how you disappoint me

Beautiful isn’t it? That my friends is the beautiful extremely talented Adele. I adore this woman’s smoky jazz roughed voice who songs speak of love, betrayal, and caution.

Adele is the cover minx for the October issue of Vogue. It’s a beautiful cover and photo spread. What really irritates me and has me very close to canceling my sub to Vogue is the fact that everything is photographed to detract from her body. I personally think Adele is beautiful from the top of her head to the tips of her toes. Yes, she is not Hollywood’s standard size 0, but honestly, when are we going to move beyond that?  It’s not natural for someone to be over 5’6 and a size 0. Yet to see this Vogue spread, it’s obvious that they feel Adele may be beautiful but is far to big to be appealing from the neck down.

It’s time for Hollywood and the fashion world to realize that all woman aren’t built like Victoria Beckham or Kate Moss. And we don’t want to be.

Stimulation Saturday-Can you spare $100,000,000.00

I went to Windermereyesterday for an appointment with a very nice lady who wanted to consign with me. Now, if any of you have been to Windermere, FL you know that Windermere is not slouching in the cha-CHING department. As I was wondering around(that's code for I was lost...AGAIN...) I came upon the most beautifulist house I ever saw. One look and I thought, "I've died and gone to Versailles."

Funny, that's the name of this house-Versailles.

This home is 90,000 square feet of sheer awesomeness. This is the largest modern day palace in America.

At a quick sale price of 100,000,000.00 you can own this get away retreat.

And that is exactly what it is.

A retreat.

With 13 bedrooms, 23 full baths, a 20 car garage, and 3 pools. This home is based on the specifications of the original Versailles palace in France. It has a 60X120 grand hall entrance with a 30 ft stain glass dome.

Inside are the beginnings of a bowling alley,2 theater rooms, and more.

A 2 story wine cellar, 3...count them ...3 indoor spas, an indoor rock grotto with an 80 ft waterfall.

10 satellite kitchens-I don't even know what that means but it sounds mucho cool, 2 grand staircases, his & her offices with a connecting 2 sided aquarium.

Lets talk about what I saw outside.

A freaking baseball field and 2 tennis courts. The must have gate house (can't have the plebs hanging out with the royalty) and a boathouse as the property is surrounded by the Butler Lakes.

Got kids? This home has you covered. In fact, with an entire wing devoted to the little crumb catchers, you could go months without ever seeing them. We have a playroom, and activity room(not to be confused with the playroom), a theater room, a computer room, and it's own kitchen.

Now the home is still under construction. Apparently (cough) the couple who built it didn't foresee the housing market taking a dive.

However, you $100,000,000.00 will get it completed. Nice huh?

So I have decided. Should I ever inherit or win a million gazillion dollars, my next posts will be coming from my "her" office overlooking my lake from my palace Versailles.
