Tip Off

Our friends in Santa Fe house sit for the rich and famous. So everytime we visit, we're treated to a tour of another residence --- or in this case, a whole collection of residences --- that overlook Santa Fe and are out of reach for most people who have a $2,000 limit on their Visa card.

So we visit a house that were once owned by a famous fashion photographer named Herb Ritts. I googled Herb and apparantly he was the shit with a camera, and Hollywood took note. Our friends told us that Richard Gere and Julia Roberts once had a limo take them up to Ritts' place (actually there are three residences including a massive six bedroom house, a two bedroom pool house that has two more bedrooms, and a cabin that, like all of the other houses, has two bathrooms with really expensive Italian custom tile) in the mountains, but it got stuck on the unimproved road that leads to his glorious home. He sold it to an heiress from Philadelphia before he died a few years ago. But it took about two days to get the limo off the mountain with a wrecker it was that stuck and prevented the prima donas from leaving Herb's company. They had to have food sent to them from Santa Fe's most expensive restaurants.

He sold his houses to a wealthy heiress from Philadelphia before he died a few years ago. The heiress is selling the main house and the pool house for $4.9 mil.

This picture is of the statute that Herb placed outside of the main house.

Uh, Herb was gay.
