I dunno, it seems to me that there’s plenty to be offended by in these photos without having to bring political indignation into it. Mais non! For I was originally sent this with the belief that it was the house of Zimbabwe’s President Mugabe. Trying to track down the article it originally came from, I found that Mugabe seemed to have the same interior decorator as Indian actor Shahrukh Khan, “Pakistan’s Prime Minister,” and who knows who else. Fortunately those smart cookies at Snopes have it figured out. It’s just a common-or-garden mansion in Los Angeles.

While not for sale and thus eligible for Not For Sale Wednesday, it is for rent! Kind of! If you have a photo shoot to do, go ahead and contact them. I know where I’ll be getting my next driver license photo taken, indeed I do.

Loveliest comment, by Kari von Cupcake: What a wonderful dream it would be to spend the rest of my days in this palatial Baroque wonderland of pure beauty. I would think King Louis XIV himself would be at a loss of words at this impressive edifice amidst the provincial “mansions” of the Bel Air area. Unfortunately, the everyday, common man no longer has an appropriate appreciation for things of unadulterated magnificence, such as this. What has modernity done to us?
