[TexasTowelie]

As the world sits transfixed by the story of how Houston socialite Theresa Roemer's 3,000-square-foot, three-story "closet" full of designer bags and jewelry was burglarized, we thought we'd take a closer look into the weird, sad family saga unfolding in Harris County District Court.

1. Jesus, the perils of being plastic people in a plastic world.

And to think she wanted the house sale to be made quietly.
Which explains why her house and closet were written up in that magazine, to begin with.

I hope everything works out for little Maximillian.
He sounds like "Entertainment Tonight" host material to me.
