Finally a house that can accomodate my Eames shell collection. I'll order two. 
Or if not, perhaps James Turrell might buy it just for the hole in the roof.
Bob Hope is blaming it all on Ray as usual. Nice pants though.
His best movie line:  "This place isn't bad. Where do you keep your dish?"

Bob Hope is the thing with feathers. Or at least that's my understanding from what little I've read of Dickinson. I'm not sure what her beef was with him...

Heh.  "Sweet pair of pants in the desert !"   Sounds like "Land o' Goshen !" or maybe "Holy old Mackinaw !"  (reported by my roommate from Down East) . . .

Granted that the house is further from charming than any other of Lautner's buildings, the article makes it even worse, by presenting a photo that makes the house look like a giant toadstool and claiming that it was intended to look like "a volcano" !   It's clear that the whole thing was a sadness for the architect, and no delight (apparently) to its owner -- or the wife, at any rate . . .
John Lautner deserves better.

I never saw a Lautner that I didn't appreciate, including this example. The poorly written article should have been properly edited.  Now back to Bob's sweet pants.  I like 'em.  I'd wear 'em.  And I'd sell Delores, instead.
Best,
Your Aunt M
