First of all it was so over the top preppy I had trouble believing that someone who once authored a very inappropriately titled piece of art/book could live in such a cookie-cuttery place. Secondly this woman is madly obsessed with PUGS! More than half the photos featured were filled with some sort of Pug chotchkie!! Her stuffed Pug collection reminded me of a photo I had once seen of a bedroom in the former home of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Take a look!
