Worlds 1st billion dollar house

Personally, Mx prefers the Dutch Colonial style

He could go from this

"On the health level, local plants decorate the outdoor patio near the swimming pool and yoga studio. The floor also features an ice room where residents and guests can escape the Mumbai heat to a small, cooled chamber dusted by man-made snow flurries."

..............To this...........

for just a few dollar more...... Dude should totally do it

Wilshire Blvd

For Christmas last year Madame x received from her secret Santa (whom always turns out to be her sister-in-law....every year...... for ever and ever.......)

a 2008 calender

Not just any calender, a special made, lovingly put together complication of every goofy picture taken of Mx in her formative years. Each month more amazing than the next. This month for example... Mx on her country estate with her parents. Yes, Mx was a country kid, transported from the big city, smack into a one hundred and sixty acre (complete with barn and one 'Ayatollah the Duck'), FARM......

at the tender age of seven years old.

And so, Mx has been waxing nostalgic every time she sits at her desk and looks at that calendar. Mx's formidable and resolute Mother was set on a path to keep her daughter out of baseballs caps and overalls. Her little Mx needed to become learn-ed in the 'finer' and more genteel ways of style and fashion...... This resulted in a twice a year 'shopping' trip to "L.A." the big city. Trips to Wilshire Blvd to sit in a big room whilst hired clerks brought dresses and shoes and straw hats and (yes) gloves...to try on and sort thru and purchase for the ensuing season. This was fine when Mx was uncaring of such things and could just sit and pick at the scabs on her knees and wait for 'lunch', while her mother did the hard work. But, when Mx became a teen....... That's when the trouble began. Mx wanted what the 'trendy' teens were wearing . Things Seventeen magazine proposed no teenager could live without! But Mx was no match for her mother. No new Malls were ventured into for a look at the new 'Judy's' dress shop.... No Capezio flats with cutouts.... No six layers of crinoline slips, no poodle skirts, or chiffon scarves..... It seemed none of this was offered in the stores on Wilshire Blvd.. I hated Wilshire Blvd.

In the end, Mx's (wise) Mother relented a little, but looking back at the photos....

She was right

We love you... Discovery channel

Boom de Yada.... indeed

Enjoy this

WA$TED

Madame x is trying so very hard to be as green as possible.

• No more plastic grocery bags
  
• No more running water idly
  
• No more Polar Bear hunting.........
  

So far, Madame x ..... hasn't been able to turn in the big ole Gas Guzzler driving machine....because it is so great for road trips.... but eventually, it will happen.

This site is devoted to the whole going green concept....

Some of the energy saving recommendations :

• Get a pig to eat your food scraps... (hahahahahahahah.........no)

• set up a worm farm.... (remind you of a certain jingle?)

AND

give up the 'Beer Refrigerator'..... (Seriously... what has Mx been missing )


But if you give up this....

You might give up this

and everyone would be green with envy

Wrighteous indignation

Dude needs to dial it back....

Who knew

Trip is over... but she'd probably still take donations.
Try Here

Madame x is told (by person helping Mx wth her bloggy that she gets a fair amount of reader traffic (more than 4, less than 4000).... and very few of these..... comment on her posts. But they do send emails...

and someone felt Mx should know..... There is a much much better blogger (than Mx) out there who refers to herself in the third person. A Ms Georgia Getz ..... Mx feels obligated to explain.... She knows about Bossy and in fact sent an email of her own to this hilarious and witty and clever house painter and blogger extraordinaire... .


Mx explained to Stella's owner about how she had begun referring to herself in the third for various and sundry reasons....but alas when she followed a comment on Dan's Blog (miss you Dan, hope all is good) Mx somehow landed on This section of her blog (warning....don't go there unless you have lots of time!) and has become a fascinated reader ever since. Obviously, Bossy had long been blogging in the third....waaaaay before Mx even knew what (exactly ) a 'weblog' was. Mx then confessed her 'ahem' plagiaristic style and promised to knock it off if 'said famous person' should so desire.

Madame x did not receive a reply, therefore surmised..... Mx could keep the 'I' and 'me' out of her posts.

and that's the truth Mr. fake.emailaddress@yahoo.com

But keep those emails coming folks

Mx loves them ................she like comments too

Wednesday Review

No Country For Old Men

• lets just talk about the movie poster... 'cause it is about as messed up as the actual movie. They put Tommy Lee Jones name under Josh Brolin's picture and vise versa (or as some like to say vi-SA versa).


• Then they gave the menacing assassin person front billing AND an academy award.

Seriously, how hard is it to walk around on a bad hair day throwing about threatening looks. Mothers all over the world do this daily.

• If someone in this movie has to get the academy award... Give it to Josh Brolin for having to deal with his character being named "Llewelyn Moss'. Madame x thought they were calling him 'Lu Ellen'. Which would not be a good name.... for a destitute welder..... living in a house trailer..... in a desolated West Texas town.....being hunted down..... by a hired psychopath.

• Mx tries very hard to pay attention while watching movies, really... Not only did she mess up on the character names, she didn't figure out until half way thru the thing.... that the era was sometime in the 1980's.. Mx just figured everyone drove around in twenty year old cars 'cause they couldn't afford a newer one. Maybe there was some subtitle clue at the very beginning about the date.. Mx didn't see it.

• Last...they call this an "instant classic"... sorry....but, Madame x hopes not... Madame x declares 'Shrek' an instant classic..

This movie did not get a rating on this site... If you like a storyline doomed to end badly.... with graphic murder and mayhem, this beauty is for you.
