Нехорошая квартира

[tijd.livejournal.com]

Джианна Лахайнер выбилась из секретарш в светские львицы, удачно выйдя замуж за флоридского домовладельца. Ее муж Фрэнк невовремя скончался в разгар флоридского сезона в 1995, оставив ей в наследство $300 миллионов. Чтобы не пропускать светских вечеринок, вдова отложила похороны, забальзимировав тело покойника.

It was poor timing. Frank died inconveniently during high season, which runs from January through March. Gianna decided to postpone the funeral so she wouldn’t miss any of the glittering parties, balls, and receptions that give Palm Beach residents their reason to exist. Instead of having him buried, she had her husband embalmed and stored at the Quattlebaum-Holleman Burse Funeral Home for 40 days, until the season was over.
“I wanted to go to the parties,” Lahainer told me. “He was 90. I am 60. So why should I wait? I did everything for my husband. I did his injections. I was faithful.”
Three days after Frank’s death, Gianna threw a party complete with beluga caviar and Dom Pérignon champagne.
“I went to a party at the Breakers, I went to a party on a yacht with Ivana Trump, I went to a party at Mar-a-Lago,” she said. “My new life was going on,” she said. “Why should I wait? I would miss the season.”

Вторым мужем Джианны стал итальянский проходимец по имени Джордж "Гвидо" Ломбарди, который представлялся графом.



"And this is her new husband," Kessler continued, introducing Guido Lombardi, a smartly dressed younger man who identified himself as the Count de Canevaro. Then Kessler grabbed Lahainer's right hand. "Look, a 25-carat diamond! Touch it!" Again Lahainer laughed.
"Feel free to give us a call," Lombardi said. "We're good friends with Donald Trump."

Когда во Флориде не сезон, чета Ломбарди обитает в Trump Tower в Нью-Йорке, занимая там 62ой и 63ий этаж. Во время предвыборной кампании Трампа в 2016 Гвидо Ломбарди оказывал закулисное содействие, организуя группы поддержки в Фейсбуке и работая связным с ультраправыми пропутинскими политиками в Европе.
