Tim already has all this on Frontburner, but I just want to add two things: one, this is the second news of the day that is going to keep our property values nice and shooting upwards come the next boom and two, a lady at last night’s event noted that “Calatrava has more expensive shoes than I do.” I am DYING to know if his shoes are more expensive than my Choos Todds Manolos.
Still on the outlook for Shaq’s Frisco pad, but as I was house-hunting today, I learned that Portland Trail Blazer LaMarcus Nurae Aldridge is leasing a $1.2 million dollar home in Starwood. LaMarcus attended Seagoville High, and was advised by Shaq O’Neal to go to college before evaluating his NBA prospects. His mom lives in Burleson and having a home here gives him a place to stay when he’s visiting mom, which I hope he did on Valentines Day. So nowI wonder if LaMarcus advised Shaq on buying in Starwood…
Hot hot hot: super broker Tom Rhodes has joined forces with Dave Perry-Miller, an Ebby Halliday Company, in DPM’s Highland Park office. Tom is a mega- mega producer and this move means Ebby can start clocking more zeroes behind those Highland Park sales figures. More — developing. Wowsers.
My new boyfriend the former Pakistani president was visiting the new owner of this house, or so I am told…
And he is probably one of the hottest men I have ever seen, exquisitely dressed in a camel-tan jacket with a colorful ascot. He was sitting on the upper level landing to the left as you walk into the venerable-see-and-be-seen Highland Park Village institution. The entire landing was reserved for the former Pakistani president and his entourage of beautiful women and body guards. I was tempted to snap a pic, but thought that might be disrespectful.
Or get me shot.
I thought the black Maybach outside was his, but was told it belongs to Gene Jones, also dining at CP.
