Karl Springer made the barstools - at the request of Onassis was the foreskin used so HE could giggle at the expense of all those famous Society gals who would sit on the largest mammals sexual organ...Garbo, Jackie O, Lee Radziwell, Maria Callas, Princess Grace and others. Most knew nothing until he divulged.
I have been an interior designer for more than 25 years & have an abiding passion for the original, the truth & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in the hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure.
The quotation is all the more apt knowing that Aristotle Onassis made his fortune in shipping.
ReplyDeleteThis yacht spared no expense. I read an article once about the yacht and the bar stools were covered in whale penis foreskin. Now who thought of that?
