Wow, that was quick. No sooner had we mentioned Charles Ferri’s obnoxious proposal to put a "Legends Bar and Cafe" in the Chelsea Lobby, than the whole page mysteriously disappears from the Internet. (Ed’s note – Not really). Marlene must have bitch-slapped Ferri all the way back to Dubai for that presumptious little gaffe! Now she and her trusty sidekick David Elder can focus their energy on more realistic projects like the spa in the basement and the express elevator to the roof. Not to mention the pay toliet in the old Balabanis’ Tailor shop.
I’ll bet Marlene bitched out Elder for crashing at Ferri’s pad too. Man, I almost feel sorry for Marlene, having to rely on such a dork to do her dirty work. Amost but not quite! I pray that Almighty God, in his mercy and wisdom, binds them together with eternal and unbreakable bonds, and assigns them to manage a Hard Rock Hotel in Hell. — Ed Hamilton

A spa in the basement? The trouble we could make with a spa…

A spa is a terrible idea. The electricity and water required would be environmentally unsound. Hot tubs and whirlpools require a massive filtration system which must be cleaned daily or diseases spread. Exercise equipment is unneccessary as one can stay fit just by climbing the stairs, infinitely more interesting than a treadmill. As for beauty treatments there are much better places to go for that within two blocks. The thing is, the kind of travellers who need a spa in house are the kind that would freak out at the art in the stairwell and the residents in paint-smeared trousers so a spa isn’t going to do much good. What other lame ideas have they flooated?
