Nominated but not yet confirmed by Dementia, I mean Donald, Trump as US Ambassador to Poland.

Not so nice to Dee Mosbacher, the lesbian daughter of her late ex-husband. At least back in 1992.

Author of "It Takes Money, Honey: A Get-Smart Guide to Total Financial Freedom" in 1998: oddly enough, the same year she got the place in the divorce.

Typical nouveau riche. The decor tries to overcompensate for the owner's diminutive family background. (The amount of gold gilt is a little much. And the two centaurs as well.) Doesn't surprise me that she is a Republican with the work ethic to accumulate wealth by whatever means, generally at the expense of others. Take note DL friends of how not to decorate. If invited into her home, I would likely find an excuse to leave quickly and vow never to return. And across from the "Met"? What a convenient opportunity to see thousands of tourists from the comfort of your home.

by Anonymousreply 49April 27, 2018 11:02 AM

It is oddly small for such a grand apartment. I suspect the servants area has been remuddled/remodeled. That tiny storage area accessed by the one bathroom was probably the maid's room that got cut off when the bath was installed. The other bedroom is definitely for a servant.

The kitchen is just fine. It is a working kitchen for servants, not an open kitchen for some suburban mommy. It has a separate pantry and a butler's pantry. It is actually probably the one part of the house that I would like. The service elevator is used for all deliveries.

Buildings such as these are very strict about who gets to use the front elevator. There is one in NYC that is so old-fashioned that even one's doctor and lawyer are sent to the service elevator because they are "workers".

It is interesting that they had to turn one of the bedroom's into an office. Originally, the library would have been a working room, not just for show.

by Anonymousreply 53April 27, 2018 11:14 AM

Really? High ceilings=wealth has never occurred to any of you? Historically, it meant that you had the wealth to heat room as well as the servants to clean them. It is only in recent years with the McMansion that one finds high ceilings in year around homes. Yes, they existed in some A-frame or log summer homes, but for the most part 8' ceilings were standard. Some pre-war apartment buildings had 10' ceilings, but the high ceilings as in this apartment were the norm.

by Anonymousreply 54April 27, 2018 11:16 AM

Most city dwellers with that kind of wealth don't really need grand kitchens because they dine out most every night. The cook prepares light meals for breakfast and and the occasional lunch in . Grand dinner parties are more often than not a combination of outside catering and in-house prep for hors d'oeuvres and other accompaniments.

I'm quite sure she has no idea what her utility bills are. As in most condo/co-ops the utilities are paid by the HOA and are accounted for in the tenant's monthly fees.

by Anonymousreply 60April 27, 2018 11:45 AM

The apartment overall is sumptuous and grand. Some pieces are fantastic. Some are just dowdy granny pieces. The right designer could turn the place into something more appropriate for someone under 50, with good taste.

She certainly went wild with those gold stripped couches., didn't she. She's got way too many of them in the great room, and even has a matching one in the library. All those couches probably cost 50 G's or more. They're clearly bespoke. Not something you could pick up off the floor at even a high end furniture store.

I also don't care for the table & chairs in the dining room. It looks cheap compared with the rest of the apartment. And that table covering is atrocious and all those tassels on the chair cushions are comical.

by Anonymousreply 61April 27, 2018 11:54 AM

Nothing exceeds like excess. I see a couple of nice rugs and mirrors and I like the mural map of the world on the library ceiling. Otherwise agreed: busy busy location on a low floor across from the Met which also serves to block views of the park, replacing some with intimate views of the museum's rooftop HVAC equipment. Too much frou frou and way too many tassels. And can you imagine the monthlies? The building has 14 units. Spread the costs of staffing and maintaining a building like that over only 14 owners and you're looking at some serious co-op fees atop the 21 million dollar purchase price.

I trust young Lauren will strip it down to the essentials and streamline the decor.

R70

You forgot to remind us that his father was a house painter and owned a candy store in the Bronx (as did Calvin Klein's father) and that his parents were immigrants from Belarus. He started designing ties for Beau Brummel (the tie company, not the Regency dandy) 50 years ago, and has grown his business to the point where he's now worth 5.8 billion dollars. He is one of the 100 wealthiest people in the world. Few designers - are there any designers?) design everything in their lines. Of course he hires other people to design things: otherwise how could he be creating the range of items (mens and womens clothing, shoes, accessories, furniture, bedding, linens, Airstream trailer interiors, restaurant interiors to name some) sold under his various brands?

Who is he ripping off? The customers who buy his merch? No one puts a gun to your head and forces you to buy pink Polo shirts. Or do you think he's abusing the designers who work for him and who, like him, hone their craft working for him before they go into business for themselves like he did?

Starting out with very little and ending up with a lot because you've made things people want to buy used to be one of the definitions of success. Please update us: what has changed?

PS, Buying a 21 million dollar condo for his son (if indeed he did) wouldn't move the needle financially - he wouldn't know it was gone. How does that make his son a vulture? Privileged, sure, and I hope he says "Thanks dad" at the housewarming party. But a vulture?

PPS: He did buy it, for a lot less than her initial ask.

The problem with Lauren not designing is that most other designers were hands on with the designing, Lauren wasn't. Calling him a designer is a complete joke.

The son is 49 years old, he's not some young kid anymore. He should buy his own place with his own money. he shouldn't ask Daddy and Mommy for everything. It is embarrassing. We all know where he got the money from. Fucking leech.......

Kiddos, that apartment is staged. I have been in the apartment. She had a proper dining room table, not a catering table and bamboo ballroom chairs. The china cabinet had a dinner service in it, and to be honest, I don't think that was the china cabinet. The Foyer had more furniture, and I am fairly certain that the sofa in the library was unique to the library, not one from the Great Room.

So are all the hedge fund and dot com fortunes. The biggest fortunes in the world today are considered "new" as most of them are less than 50, sometimes less than 10 years old. R86, Jayne Writghtsman lives at 820 Fifth Ave. an even grander building at 63rd and Fifth. Her apartment is much bigger, and would sell for well over $50,000,000. It is known to have some of the most valuable boiserie in New York, as well as some of the most important Fine French Furniture in a private home anywhere in the world. She lives on the 3rd Floor. She is rarely seen and is supposed to be out of it.

Foreign money has poured into trophy NYC real estate which is seen as a safe investment. While money-laundering oligarchs and Latin American drug lords are unlikely to get past elite co-op boards, the rising tide lifts all boats. Generally, co-ops sell at a discount because they are harder to sell (board approval) and typically must be owner-occupied (so you can’t rent it).

Robert Mosbacher and Georgette were married just thirteen year, but right up until 1998 (he was married much longer to his first wife, hope she made out).

George girl has been living there for 25 years, or since 1993. So that office/bathroom concoction was indeed designed for Robert, who seems to be one of those guys that conducted business while sitting in the can. I can just imagine all the assistants who had to speak with him while he plopped and farted.

That was not the first rich guy Georgette married BTW.......she made out quite well before Robert.

R124, the office was for her, not him; which does not make it any better. He probably used the library if he worked from home. Georgette seemed like the sort that would conduct business on the can.

I never got the grand tour, but I think it is an interesting peek into the lives of the very wealthy that so much square footage is devoted to public rooms that are not used very much.

R118, "staged" simply means prepared for sale. All of the personal items are removed as are most of the valuables. Someone complained about the lack of art. That would be removed just to keep their insurance company happy.

I have to say that Georgette's shrine to herself rather took me aback. I come from a world where one just doesn't do that sort of thing. Even a single photo with a President would be considered gauche.

R126 Well Georgette went to Egypt, Lebanon and Naples Italy. Then she took a helicopter to Capri to look for a house for sale! I think that's fabulous. I hope she sampled some of that fabulous uncut huge Italian cock there. She should take advantage of her status and have a little Neapolitan toy boy. Then again i think Georgette loves her dog more than she likes guys these days!

R127 It is campy actually. They both embrace the caftan thing and it is what it is.

There is a lot of trompe l'oeil. White wash the floors and ceilings and you'll see its spartan classical. The South facing window in the little 2 window library gets sun, as does the north facing window. That room needs to become a conservatory - sunroom. Out go the books income a tile floor, light colors, a table for eating, reading, working, Lots of plants and a good ventilation system, it becomes the smoking room for guests.. Its the terrace the apartment scandalously does not have.

I think it would be quite noisy in there, situated as it is so very close to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Screaming tourists and vendors from 9 a.m. well into the evening.

I'll pass on this one. Thanks.

Neapolitan men are hot and horny. Back in 2005, I had a 21-year-old one right in downtown Naples who kept getting phone calls from his young wife while he was sucking my dick. Since he spoke very little English or Spanish, he figured he would show me her picture to signal whom he was talking to. Then he showed me a picture of his baby, all the while giving me glorious head.

I figured either I shoot a load soon or I’ll get to meet Grandma.

People who live like that are basically poseurs. They desperately want others to see how rich they are. Even Queen Elizabeth doesn't have that level of frou frou around her in her private living quarters in Buckingham Palace. Hell, they even have space heaters in all the rooms in her private rooms. All that finery Ms. Masbacher has accumulated says volumes about her. It says she's a woman with lots of money but very real little class or dignity. She's like so many Hollywood celebrities. More money than taste. On the street they'd say "she's a frontin' bitch".

[quote] Mosbacher attended high school in Highland, Indiana, graduating in 1965. She went on to earn a B.S. in education from Indiana University in 1970. As an undergraduate student she worked three jobs in order to fund her education. After graduating from Indiana University, Mosbacher moved to Chicago to take a job at an advertising firm.

[quote] Mosbacher purchased the high-end cosmetics firm La Prairie in 1987, outbidding companies such as Revlon, Avon, and Estee Lauder. Despite the fact that La Prairie had been struggling with sales, she had raised the funds for the purchase by pitching to investors and venture capitalists.

He Wikipedia bio goes from her working "3 jobs" to pay from college to a job at an advertising agency in 1970 to her outbidding Revlon in 1987. When and how did she become a multi millionaire?

Her first marriage ended in 1977. Her first husband was a richly successful real estate developer in Houston.

That surely eased the way.

R130, I love caftans but as a textile designer, I loathe those prints which are basically dog heads silo'd and placed on a grid and using cheap digital printing on fabric to output. It's the equivalent of printing a grandchild's school photo on the front of a t-shirt with a message like World's Best Grandma" in iron-on letters.

R138 She's a power broker and we're sitting here talking about her. Yes she's gaudy and tacky....... what would you expect from a Midwestern girl with such humble roots.

She appeared on that southern charm show on Bravo last year. She's really good friends with Patricia Altschul and everything they both have monetarily comes from their ex/deceased husband's.

Their both one in the same. I'm not surprised the two of them are friends.

R154 You can catch a snippet of them together @ R130. Patricia is older but keeps herself in better shape and looks more natural. GM has gotten heavier and her face has become more frozen. However tits do look better now that she's fatter. They look like big full funbags now.

The ceiling ‘mouldings’ in the “Great Room” are Trompe-l'œil (an optical illusion technique: not actual mouldings, but merely a painting of them).

That technique is cutesy, but also often looks CHEAP. Because historically aristocrats used it when they were running out of money for decorating their palace:

“Darling, we have no budget funds left to install real Italian marble colonnades in the corridor, or real bas reliefs on the ceiling . Let’s just paint them in & hopefully people won’t notice the difference”.

Ms Georgette denies all of this Trump stuff or does she? Georgette Mosbacher, the cosmetics baron, told People, “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” when asked about her alleged liaisons with Trump. Talk about a non answer/denial of what went on with Trump. I'm quite sure some gossip mongers have more inside information on their alleged tryst.
