Spanish Ambassador to Pakistan ...

 Spanish Ambassador to Pakistan. Strange she was not even Spanish!! She had a British diplomatic passport, and lived part time at the Spanish Embassy in Islamabad .. She organized aid from Spain to Pakistan..  She was C.I.A. and was an American woman. This was her cover ..  When, I insulted Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands and Queen Juliana at a 'World Wildlife Fund Fundraiser' in 1976 and I called the German born Prince, a Fascist, Nazi, bribe-taker, over the Lockheed, Adnan Khashoggi scandal that got A.K. $106,000,000 in commissions from Lockheed.. 'She protected me'!! The Blog story is:

Puerto Banus / Marbella / Spain / 1985 / Robert Kelly Smithey

So, this is a photographic collage Blog not much story mostly pictures. First picture is the Boutique, you can see some of the dresses hanging on the lattice... I took them down with a long stick that had a hook .. There was a Chagall Painting on the wall pink marble floors cost nine thousand bucks the fitting room was teak wood .. The boy is Felipe his father is a big Spanish Marque and the 1st cousin of King Juan Carlos, his mother was Janice an American women with the best house in Gstaad, Switzerland who had been involved with Ahmet Ertegun. There is a picture of Adnan Khashoggi's yacht "Nabila".. more chic, I thought .. The Golf Course, where Bob Hope played Sean Connery at a big tournament etc .. The apartment was a third floor walk up .. two apartments made into one big apartment .. There were plants around the front door, had my family's 'Coat of Arms' on the wall in stone, as you go into the front door. The door was steel & wood with a knocker, a hand with a ball type thing in bronze. Also had two security gates to get to the top floor you had to unlock. It had a brown leather chesterfield sofa and two chairs, I found in Malaga. It had a Crystal murano Chandelier that I went to Venice, Italy to get cost $10,000 - I took the fireplace out of the front apartment. I put fabric on the walls with thick padding because the walls were not straight and paint was out of the question, that cost ten thousand bucks.. I took a wall out between the two apartments and the back bedroom became the dining room, mirrored that for the Miguel Berrocal art work display .. I had a party for the Classic TV show called 'The Love Boat' once. It was season 9 and they were in Marbella. I paid $40,000 for the back apartment in 1972 and rented the front apartment until I bought it for $60,000 a friend of mine loaned me the money out of her pocket, no interest!! I spent not sure how much to combine them and decorate .. The 'Olympics of 1992' busted the country .. It was just a big bluff, but, it was a beautiful show stopper. This apartment had a lot of gracious Europeans with big titles as its guest, like Habsburg/Aragon/Braganza/Borbon/Rothschilds/Bismarcks and less important titles .. I used to buy liquor by the case ..

Antonio Gades .........

So, in 1985 the most famous revered Spainsh flamenco dancer of all time (1936-2004) so handsome was this guy but don't think he was gay, anyway.. Antonio Esteve Rodenas / Antonio Gades was in Marbella, Spain the Puerto Banus he was on vacation from his many touring company shows and was looking for some fun .. I met him at a party that Jean Negulesco gave and we hit it off. He showed me some dance moves and I gave him a dinner party.. I had six people at my glass top dinner table and two more on the chesterfield brown leather sofa and one more on the chesterfield chair. I cleared the coffee table of books etc. I set up my Wedgewood china all around for the nine people. I put Antonio at the head of the table, I sat on the sofa .. I had hired a female French chef/cook and she made a leg of lamb, sliced the meat and put in garlic and did a cauliflower with a lovely bechamel white sauce, chocolate mousse etc.. She did all the shopping. It took her all day to make this dinner for nine people did the serving and wash-up, the whole French bit, I made her a special apron to wear, I wanted it just right.. Gades was a big deal.. I had two kitchens, because it was two apartments front to back. I was the bartender in the back kitchen ... So, after dinner and more wine and after dinner drinks, the entertainment was a fortune teller from Belgium. She was a palm reader, that I had flown down and put up in a hotel and paid to be there and she was the female head of my dinner table, anyway, she was expensive, the best in Europe. She had a tape recorder that she turned on and asked people to contact a dead person, from beyond, another dimension type thing and she did a palm reading **** So, she went around and with the recorder on talked to everyone.. Anyway, after she asked everyone she played back the tape recorder and there was only one strange sounding voice on it. A mans voice loud and clear. From the kitchen with the door only half closed we heard a plate drop and crash and break. My female expensive 'French Chef' Marie was washing up the dishes. So, she comes out of the kitchen white as a sheet and said it was her late husbands unmistakable voice, as clear as a bell, something in French about 'Forgive Me' !! .. Now, the 'Fortune Teller' didn't even ask 'HER' to conjure up a dead person. She was the expensive help a celebrity/chef.. We were all a little freaked out about it, she, was so distraught she had to go home early in a taxi couldn't even drive her own car .. We all had another drink and then Jean Negulesco and Antonio Cades told us about the time they made the movie in 1964 called 'The Pleasure Seekers' for 20th Century Fox. Also, about the time Antonio was the lead dancer at La Scala in Milan, Italy, in the 1960's. Antonio Gades was very anti-fascist and made a big deal about that. He was huge in Cuba and very left wing but, so was I, and he knew that! It was the height of the social season and my balcony sliding door was open and you could hear all the people walking/talking going to bars etc., from my third floor apartment and a paparazzi that I knew and liked was down by his car waiting. I invited him up to take some pictures... So, here is a picture of Antonio Gades .. Antonio was I think around 50 at the time ... the pictures were in a couple of magazines around Europe and then I bought it from my paparazzi friend. He was a hurricane of glamour. I was so glad I had him up for dinner and spend time with him. I bought the 'French Chef a well-chosen gift' .. I didn't want her to think it was some kind of a cruel trick, but, she never worked for me again !! Antonio had class not really born rich but a natural born dancer with a heart the size of Chicago .. :) Jean said that he was a fine actor with a capital A as well on the movie, and not just a Flamenco dancer .........
