WE'RE OUTTA HERE!


We can no longer keep this blog going AND develop our sister blog Can You See My Pussy Now (NSFW) . "Pussy", as a "adult" content site with the appropriate warning label, gives Mess a new sense of freedom, free from self-censoring. WCM has been fun, for sure, but HAS as in HAS BEEN is the operative word. So, for those of you are not easily offended, come visit us at the dirty little sister blog. For those of you who are easily offended, there are plenty of good therapists in the yellow pages. Best of luck!

DOES THE U.S.A HAVE TEXAS ENVY?


The online magazine SLATE seems to reckon it may. http://www.slate.com/id/2250999/?yahoo=y

SURREAL ESTATE: LESS IS MORE


We always love it when we are purusing San Antonio listings and we see a home that makes us think we are in another MLS - like Los Angeles or New York, perhaps. Not that we're accusing Texas of lagging behind in modern home design, but let's face it - simplicity is often wasted on us. We love our architectural nods to Tuscany or Tudor England or Sunday House or Villa, etc, etc.
So let's take a look at a "modern" home that doesn't sway from it's goal. Check out the builder's link for interior shots and a floor plan (oh, how we long for more floor plans in listings.....)

DUSTY SPRINGFIELD


Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien was born on this day in 1939. UK's original chunk of white chocolate passed on in 1999 from breast cancer. We've heard there will be a bio-pic one day, and we're putting our bet on Joss Stone to play Dusty. Any opinions from you casting agents out there?

RUTH FERTEL


The New Orleans born Ruth Fertel passed away on this day in 2002 at the age of 75. She entered LSU at 15 to pursue degrees in chemistry and physics and later was the first female horse trainer in Louisiana. As a divorced mother of two she mortgaged her house in 1965 to buy a restaurant she had seen advertised for sale in the classifieds called Chris's Steak House. The rest is history. http://ruthschris.com/OurStory

ALL I WANT IS A ROOM SOMEWHERE...


We love the beach and the desert but sometimes we just adore a penthouse view, like this one at the W New York. http://www.starwoodhotels.com/whotels/property/photos/index.html?propertyID=97502

RAIN, RAIN AND MORE DAMN RAIN!


Our part of Texas is getting hit hard with rain, and we haven't seen the sun in a week. According to the forecast, it should be like this at least until Tuesday, and this is truly putting a damper on San Antonio's annual Fiesta celebrations. Well, look on the "bright" side - we should have some really lovely pollen when it dries out!
