Christina McDowell was used to getting extraordinary gifts from her father, Washington lawyer Thomas Prousalis Jr. To celebrate her graduation from high school, she got a BMW. One Christmas morning, he gave her a Hermés Birkin bag. And then there was that time McDowell discovered Dad had given her $100,000 in credit card debt.
McDowell wanted to ask him about that little problem, but she didn t know exactly where her father was, only that he would soon be assigned to a federal prison to serve a 57-month sentence for securities fraud. He was a convicted associate of Jordan Belfort, whom Leonardo DiCaprio portrayed in The Wolf of Wall Street.
Britain s ambassador to the US personally asked the interior designer behind a controversial Downing Street renovation to redo her Washington residence.
Dame Karen Pierce approached Lulu Lytle, the co-founder of Soane Britain, to redecorate her impressive home in Washington DC this year, the Times reports.
However, it has been claimed the proposed revamp was abandoned in April after a furious row emerged over the makeover of Boris Johnson s Downing Street flat.
The lavish refurbishment of 11 Downing Street, which featured gold wallpaper by interior designer Lytle, reportedly cost a six-figure sum.
But insiders say the Prime Minister has had to call in specialist decorators to rehang parts of the £840 per roll hand-crafted paper - because it keeps falling down.
