Bloomie likes the leopard-skin look

From the NY Times:

Throughout his tenure, the mayor has taken pains to protect his private life, refusing to divulge his weekend whereabouts, blocking aviation Web sites from tracking the movements of his private planes and swearing reporters to secrecy before granting access to his homes. Yet examples of the grandeur in which he lives had, until Monday, been in plain sight on the Web site of his longtime decorator, Jamie Drake, who is known for exuberance and has overseen rooms for Madonna as well as restorations at Gracie Mansion and City Hall.

The photographs represent a strikingly public display of his most intimate spaces: one image captures his workout room, another shows a brown commode with a pink orchid nearby.

I'm jealous.

Beautiful photos of the Mayor's exquisite English Regency style. Puts my own Early Collier Brothers to shame.

Leopard skin look?

Only the mega rich can afford to be God awful tacky!

Does Bloomy roll around naked on that leopard skin with other froggy faced looking people? Are they illegal?

Too bad the leopards can't come in and eat Bloomberg.

Very 60s looking decor....
and just as out of date and out of touch as Der Mayor is.

Even a "greedy 80s" look would be declasse by now.

Get with it Bumberg!

Better yet....GET OUT OF TOWN!!!

Now can you picture hizzoner in a skimpy Tiger skin "Speedo" on a Bermuda beach?

Looks like a men's lounge in some tacky wedding factory (or upper class gay sauna).

A drag queen rock star's lair....

Only his decorator and he
know for sure.

Oooh...
"Butch" Bloomberg and the "Sundance Kid".

Does Natzli Parvisi cater his affairs?

It's inaccurate and highly interpretive Regency, George.

I though Mike would have chosen a more austere Directoire or an over the top Napoleonic look.

After all,
he thinks he's an emperor.

Well,
"The lord giveth....the lord taketh away".

"We bring nothing into this world and we take nothing out".

"Blessed be the name of the lord".

AMEN.

How old is King Bloomberg now?

LOL....
how typical....pretending to be high class and non-Jewish....upper east side modern robber baron decor.

I wanna see the throne room "Crappy"....
where Bloomie takes HIS morning dump!

Wadda ya think....
soild Platinum spare toilet paper roll covers festooned with ruby swags....inspired by Karl Faberge?

Heaven on earth.

A "brown" commode with a "pink" orchid. The alpha and omega of the "event". How Freudian. How inspiring. How about a pen and a crossword puzzle? A book of matches nearby?

Mister Mayor, I wanna take a dump in your john.

All that's missing is Hef and a couple of Bunnies.
