What do you buy the infant who has everything? A gold-plated teething ring? A Himalayan yak-hair woobie? A new Beemer? Nah, all the neighbors' kids have those already. Behold, a a fairy tale from Brentwood:

TV Producer Les Firestein, whose work includes “The Drew Carey Show” and “Wanda At Large,” hired renowned builder Roderick Wolgamott Romero to construct an elaborate treehouse for his 18-month old daughter.


The structure sits within three eucalyptus trees in Firestein’s backyard and is composed of reclaimed wood and vintage stained glass from South America. It includes an aerial deck highlighting views of the neighborhood and cost over $50,000.

Next-door-neighbor Richard Fleming, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, complains the treehouse has a direct view into his backyard swimming pool and hot tub. City building inspectors have suspended work temporarily, noting that the structure’s size requires a building permit.

“We just want to make this a magical place,” said Firestein.

And if that little castle in the Enchanted Kingdom of Too Much Money just so happens to have an unobstructed view of all the Nip/Tuck-quality action transpiring next door, then so be it. You can't fight magic with permits.
