Two baronesses have been clients, Baroness De Nora, of Italy, and
Baroness Langen von Langendorff, of Belgium, or maybe France, or
Luxembourg. The latter, a Euro-famous courtesan, gained her title by
snatching the epynomic baron's heart and then his commercial empire
which was based on male perfume, warehouses of which still abound
in one of the New York boroughs. In those undecorated sheds are
also contraband caviar, perhaps centigrams of which are sold in
perfume bottles to gastronomic sneak thieves which abound in
Manhattan.
We dined in the Baroness's Long Island shoreline mansion, designed by
Edward Durell Stone who had inscribed a picture book of his work:
to my dear baroness, shared lover of architecture. I had seen a similar
inscription in several of Stone's gifts to his seduced female clients, and
each displayed the book prominently, and paged to the inscription with
adoration, perhaps faux but enchantingly played.
What a bounder, Stone, and the latter day Stonettes working the
world class romanies unable to stay in the US for more than 6
months or have to face draconian tax bites arranged by mutual
agreement with home countries of the wanderers.
I am able on occasion to inscribe similarly to titled Euro-clients,
though never as often as wished. The setting up of architectural
way stations in multiple countries is a sweet honey pot for obliging
architects who can learn from las courtesans.
