Stretching an Old Bed to Fit Your Frame

Image
FIRST Daughter Amy Carter may not be planning to move in January -- she just recently received an innerspring mattress to go with her antique canopy poster bed in the family quarters of the White House. The feather mattresses that once were standard on the antique wood beds in the Lincoln Room at the White House, Blair House and Mount Vernon are long gone. Instead, these valuable old beds sport firm innerspring mattresses. Robert Shone, president of Truman Boyle Bedding, who made the mattresses for these historic beds, claims that they are one of the last manufacturers of custom bedding in the area. "There used to be about 12 companies that specialized in bedding. But one by one they stopped. The larger mattress companies, like Serta and Sealy, can't afford to upset their production to make a one-of-a-kind mattress. "Boyle charges anywhere between $200-$400.

Bishop Don "Magic" Juan isn't a pimp, but he plays one on TV. He's had cameo roles in cinematic gems like "Old School," "Starsky and Hutch" and "S.W.A.T"; in glossy rap videos by Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent and Nelly; and, most recently, on the UPN sitcom "Eve.

He's reformed, now: a dubiously ordained man of God who still sports full-on care pimp regalia, a so-called spiritual advisor to rap stars and author of the would-be bestseller "From the Pimp Stick to the Pulpit." Visiting Juan in his Los Angeles apartment, as I once did, is like entering a time warp. Bypass the 1976 Rolls Royce parked out front and step into a living room straight out of "Superfly" -- chenille sofas, shag carpets and mirrored wall paneling etched in gold. Juan wore a rainbow-colored leisure suit, shoes tie-dyed to match and shirt u...

While Congress spent the past week embroiled in fallout from Representative Anthony Weiner's indecent disclosures, yesterday every member had to pony up their own personal disclosure. Financial that is. An annual rite on Capitol Hill is the release of each member's assets and liabilities, excluding their home.The filing deadline for the 2010 calendar year was May 15 and the documents were released yesterday. The House of Representatives fully embraces the exercise, making all House financial disclosure documents immediately downloadable online. connectors The Senate clearly didn't get that transparency memo; it offers up only paper copies of the filings. What follows is a spin through the filings of some House leaders. I'll follow up soon with a companion post looking at Senate leaders....once everything is scanned for easier consumption. A review of the financial disclosure forms filed by four of the House of Representative's major power players une...
