Nicky and Wallace are more than just two pretty faces hanging out in the lobby. They took Blogger/Musician/Painter Rick Beerhost on a guided tour of the hotel. Here is Rick's report.
We made our way towards the front desk and began to read some of the newspaper clippings that spoke of its more recent history when I heard a voice from above and at the same time I felt my hand getting licked. There was a tall man who introduced himself as Nicky and his little pug dog as Wallace. He explained to us how exhausted they both were from a long photo shoot they had just finnished where he was dressed in black tie and Wallace had been wearing an all white party dress. Apparently it is her birthday coming up and the photo was for her birthday party invitation. He asked if we would like to see more of the building and when we said yes he wisked us into the elevator for a quick ride up to the 10th floor where we could then make our liesurely way down the floors and get a good look at everything...
It is a very old building with an open stair well that cirlcles its way down through the center of the building and each floor is open with peoples various belongings spilling out into the hall ways. There was really cool looking art every where we looked and good smells coming from peoples apartments and rooms. At the Chelsea you can still rent a room for the night but there are also people who have been living there for years.
