Are you bitches aware of this woman, Susanna Salk? She has a YouTube channel and apparently a blog, called "Quintessence".

She's a middle-aged socialite running around the world and I gather, greater NYC interviewing and showing off the homes of mostly fabulously wealthy gay designers and the occasional straight woman. YouTube recommended her, and dammit, I want her job. She's also authored a book called "A Privileged Life, Celebrating WASP Style". I will admit, the videos are entertaining, but I am longing for her to fall face-first onto a carefully considered antique Aubusson rug.I would imagine this would be catnip for the regular DL'er. It's a Tasteful Friends/NYSD crossover episode! I'll even be nice and say nothing about her hair. Except, oof. Her hairdresser must be trying his best, or he really don't cur.

This is fun, thanks for posting!

I love her videos! She's really good at making the silly pretenses of her rich video subjests seem important and relatable. My first thought when I discovered her videos, and still is, who's finding this nonsense? It's gotta cost a bit of money to fly all over the world to look at rich people's homes... Is she connected to one of the lifestyle magazines, conde naste maybe? I still don't know how it's funded

How does Carolyne Roehm get away with herself all these years. And I always wanted to smack her but she always did what she does very well.

I always remember reading that Caroline Roehm ate one Oreo cookie for breakfast every morning.

I love those 80s rich socialites in their LaCroix pouf dresses.....

I dated and had sex with that Timothy Corrigan in 1984 or 1985 a few times. He was much butcher and was a little weird and controlling. He also has the largest dick on a white guy I've ever seen in my life. One day I felt him almost stalking me (I was 22) and then, poof! I never heard from him again! He wasn't a designer back then either, and he seemed to have plenty of cash. I'm glad he's so successful, but he was always a bit off.

Carolyne Roehm clearly enjoys being an uber-wealthy white lady as much as anyone possibly can, or else she's high as a kite!

by Anonymousreply 10September 23, 2019 4:19 AM

I've been watching her videos on YouTube for nearly two years now. I've always wondered if anyone on DL knew of her. Her channel is pretty much everything DL loves.

OP funny you created this thread, I was just thinking about her channel. What a coincidence you created this thread.

by Anonymousreply 11September 23, 2019 4:37 AM

both? Do you know Weatherstone burned and was entirely rebuilt? It's the only house she got in the divorce and maybe she didn't get it, rumour has it Kravis owns it and she occupies it for life. Is she a dyke? Why not 3rd marriage?

The horses were on fire that day....The ivy smelled like blue. I was in Connecticut and I said, Staff, bring me to the Towers. We decided that was a bad idea and knitted wine cozies for the rest of the afternoon.

by Anonymousreply 22September 24, 2019 4:13 PM

Me neither, R5. Maybe family money on both sides? She has written a number of books over the years. Her husband is an emergency room doctor somehow related to Jonas Salk. he of the polio vaccine Her house was featured in House Beautiful a few years ago, but it seems to be her only published work. The design is ok, definitely nothing special.

Timothy Corrigan owned and SOLD the Chateau du Grand Luce, which I can’t wrap my head around, as it was perfect. The video at the OP is the new project, apparently.

He's so enthusiastic and industrious - look at everything he did in his former chateau and now he will rinse, repeat.

That lamp looks ridiculous, moreso because as soon as you sit in one of those chairs, it's going to blind you. Bad Timothy.

Laurie Lisle in her memoir “A Tenth of an Acre” writes at length about Weatherstone and Carolyn Roeme but only incidentally. It’s a wonderful gardening memoir.

[R32] That is sad. I’m in this FB group called coloniawful and that doesn’t even have the tongue in cheek humor of what we post there. Also, Hampton Roads is the ass crack of Virginia, so I wouldn’t be putting up a sign of it. It’s like putting up a “Compton” sign in an LA mansion.

Howard Slatkin's dressing room misspells the Latin expression "fronti nulla fides" as "fronti mulla fides," in gold letters no less, in R1's link at about 3:09. How mortifying!

Susanna at home in LA with the somewhat constipated Suzanne Rheinstein. Oh, it's not formal., she says. Hon, when you've got a grand piano in your foyer and a recamier in your living room, chances are...it's kinda formal. I used to keep a daybed in the gardens...

I love Quontessence. I’ve been a subscriber for over a year. I discovered some fabulous people through her.

Mark Sikes

Timothy Corrigan

Jeffrey Bilhuber

Watson Kennedy

I follow all of them on YouTube. I’m a real estate porn addict so this is like heaven for me.
