Where were we? Summer heat is making my brain melt! I believe we were talking about what happened to the poor beauties who were overthrown for another in the golden days of the robber barons. McMansions today often house newer Mrs. So and So's. Or the newest Mrs. So and So. A lot of today's mega billionaires and garden variety multi-millionaires run through wives like water through a sieve. But that is to be continued............
Since it is scorched- earth hot today, let's dispense with our story since it is really too bloody hot to read unless you are standing in a pool, or at the beach, in which case, I hope you do not get sand in your iPad or phone!!!
As reality shimmers in the stultifying heat, take a gander at some of the largest houses in America today, some courtesy of Forbes, others from my secret stock of web finds.
Today I am introducing another feature - The Cinderella Slipper of the Day - because shoes really are to blame for the beginning of this whole mess, and something us girls seem to remain obsessed with no matter how dire the situation!
Enjoy!
