Meet Limor (love that name!) Weinberg, the lovely guide who escorted us around Casa Casuarina.
She pointed out all the details that Gianni Versaci so carefully planned in his 1992 renovation, such as the Medusa heads, even on the drains!
Do you know who has this solid gold toilet seat? Well, Gianni Versace used to, until he passed away and his sister reserved it in the sale, and sold it (for a lotta money!). (The one shown is "only" gold-plated.) The second person who owns it is an Arab sheik. And the third, according to our hostess, is America's very own Kimora Lee Simmons!
This is the Moroccan Room, where the Hookah was enjoyed! (But not by us!)
And here is the view of the hall between Elton's and Madonna's bedrooms, as seen from below.
The Denver-born, Quito-raised David showed us around Elton and Madonna's bedrooms. Every bedroom has a shower except Madonna's. She apparently preferred baths, so her bath features a shower. I'd show you what it looks like (think: sunken!), but we weren't allowed photos in the bedrooms!We also had a most gourmet lunch in the courtyard, and all in all, even though I was in Felicia's purse most of the time, it was a wonderful way to spend a terrific day. Versace made South Beach a lot more interesting!
Till tomorrow,
Love, Maia
