Inspiration

I've always loved dogs, and having them around- and so I thought it would be fun to post about them- even though I don't have a dog right now- I told my parents that I would like to have 22 !! :)  Watch this fun u-tube here with Paris Hilton giving a tour of her "Dog Mansion" in Los Angeles- it's a trip! Looking forward to the cooler days ahead!  Cheers! DF *****

More John Woolf, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara

I couldn't resist showing some more images from John Woolf, the creator of the southern California style known as Hollywood regency... Donna Livingston has one, Sue Mengers had one, Robert Evans, Elsie de Wolfe, Barbara Hutton...and after his death, his heirs purchased and moved into this Mizner house, called Park Lane, in Montecito. Many bloggers posted about Woolf after the 2009 Vanity Fair article came out, which created a tantalizing account of his life and that of his partner, Robert Koch Woolf. Enjoy! DF *****
