Mad About Madoo, or, How Artists Can Afford to Live in the Hamptons
Well, you've got to hand it to artistic types like Robert Dash and Jack Lenor Larsen. They figured out that all they have to do is open their gardens one or two days a week to the public, and they can live in the Hamptons all year round, virtually tax free! Be that as it may, I did venture out East earlier today to visit the Madoo Conservancy, created by Robert Dash, and Bridge Gardens Trust, originally created in 1988 by Harry Neyens and Jim Kilpatric (Larsen's Longhouse Reserve I had visited on an earlier occasion). All of these gardens are beautiful and well worth a visit, as long as you can get past the fact that you are essentially trespassing on not-so-private property. "Yes, Mr. Dash is here today, but he won't be coming out. He's getting over a bad case of lyme disease." Yikes!

Hmm...I'm a photographer. Do you think I could do the same with my apartment in Port Washington?
I can picture the tour now:
"And here on the left we have the love seat, where Lizo sits and thinks about her next projects while she watches SoapNet and Bridezillas. In the front, we find the kitchen, where she prepares meals on her George Foreman Grill. In the back, we have a lovely room full o' boxes, which she may never completely unpack. She prefers to think of this as a an art installation. Here in the bedroom, we find her muses / dogs sacked out on the bed...."
Here's another idea - your own reality show on Bravo - it's about time Librarians got some representation on basic cable!
OMG - can you imagine?
