There is something very jungle about this room (San Francisco St. Regis Hotel). Can't you just see Tarzan lounging around there in a loincloth (patterned of course)? I am tempted to post a salacious pic of that but this is a family blog (usually).  There ain't no reason to have such a ginorous mirror by your bed! That's just un-Christian! According to legend, following the passing of her husband from tuberculosis, the distraught Mrs. Winchester sought the counsel of a Boston-area psychic. The psychic informed the widow that her family was cursed by the spirits of everyone killed by her husband's rifles and, in order to appease them, she should move out west and use her considerable fortune to built a giant temple in their honor. She was told that, as long as construction of said temple never stopped, the spirits wouldn't take their revenge by killing her. As such, she bought a plot of land a few miles outside of San Jose and spent the remainder of her life building. (via Huffington Post)
 Twitter's impending relocation to Mid-Market district has driven local rents up 60%! This also has driven out the local flavor of the area. Soon, the vagabonds, addicts and ladies of the night will be replaced with tech yuppie tweeting on their smartphones and IT hipsters sipping their hoity toity coffee.  If you live in Chelsea NYC, you are in luck! This church-run asylum has been sold to a developer who is transforming the ex-looney bin into 6 luxury units.
When Naples authorities raided Italian mobster Nicola Schiavone's house, they found an "Aladdin's cave of luxury tackiness." To be perfectly honest, I have seen this decor before. There is certain aesthetic that single rich male douchebags all subscribe to: Too much money to spend & too little taste to show! This house could be one of any newly minted millionaire nouveau riche dot com guys in SF. I'm just sayin'!!
The Miami house, where scenes from the landmark porno Deep Throat were shot, has been languishing on the market. Apparently no one wants this piece of XXX history. This would have made a great set for the new Hollywood film Lovelace, starring Amanda Seyfried!
