I'm Afraid Of Americans
"At the Essex House on Central Park South, a vice president at Brown Harris Stevens, has a $5.485 million listing for a two-bedroom apartment with views of Central Park rolling out like a lush green carpet as far as the eye can see. The current owner bought the apartment from David Bowie and his wife, Iman, two years ago... when people come to see the apartment, the singer and his supermodel wife quickly become a topic of conversation because of the custom work they put into the space.
Two spaces were expressly created for Iman: an area off the entry foyer that has a delicately hand-painted closet and built-in drawers, and a dressing room off the master bedroom that is essentially a giant vanity, filled with mirrors and a small gold sink.
(when I read this all that registers is Iman is essentially a giant vanity, filled with mirrors and a small gold sink...)
WAIT!!!! ... expressly created for Iman: "An AREA off the entry foyer..."
HAHAHAH OMFG... I'm totally referring to her "area" as the "entry foyer" from now on, and that THE Area was "off" the entry foyer is gonna make many Areaologists quite happy)
There are also shelves hidden behind moving walls by the living room windows, and Thadani likes to point out that the current owner completely renovated the master bath, which formerly held a large safe and had been designed as a panic room, where Bowie or Iman could lock themselves in if intruders managed to get into the apartment."
STOP! Panic Time!
*Doo dum dee dum dee doo dee dum* Can't touch this... I is in mah bathroom wiv mah big safe. *mimes*
*Note to N00bs, we never discuss potential locations of Teh Bowies current homes here, cuz they have a small kid/ deserve their privacy etc. But I can tell you that among other things like getting bullet proof glass installed in all windows, it's known they also have a panic phone-line linked directly to 911.
Halp! I iz gonna call mah 911 if you keeps on looking at meh.
"Panic in Dave's place, you all want his autograph
He just wants to stay home, near his special phone... Panic In Dave's place!"
