Experts estimate there will be less than a year's worth of drinking water in California's reservoirs at the end of 2015 Yet the rich and famous of Los Angeles continue to water their lawns with apparently no concern for conservation Aerial images have shown the ever-green lawns of Kim Kardashian, Barbra Streisand and Petra Stunt among others
Barbra Streisand appears to have been shamed into cutting her water usage after shocking aerial photographs showed her Malibu yard looking lush and green despite California experiencing its worst drought in history.
Residents across California have been demolishing pools, cutting back on showers and letting their lawns turn brown after experts estimated that there will be less than a year's worth of drinking water left in the state's reservoirs by the end of 2015.
But recent aerial photographs have shown that many stars are keeping their yards well watered with their green lawns contrasting sharply with the dusty brown landscape surrounding them.
A spokesman for Streisand had earlier issued a statement to the Post claiming she had cut her water usage by over 50 per cent in the past few months, though photographs showed her pool full and her lawn well manicured.
Images showed the mega-mansions owned by Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and heiress Petra Stunt to be among the most verdant in Los Angeles.
'The Kardashian flowers and hedges are right in our face,' a neighbor of West and Kardashian in Hidden Hills told the New York Post. 'It’s disgusting. You walk by and you can smell the freshness.'
The reality star previously claimed that she was washing her hair only every five days in response to the drought, a move she called 'a little excessive, maybe'.

It’s almost as if they think laws don’t apply to the liberal elite.
Liberals know the rules never apply to them. Liberals always go on and on about how the rich need to “Pay their fare share” fine, let the Govt take away 70 percent of their wealth and let’s see how fast they run to their polling station and switch to Republican..they know the left will never take away their money just like they know the left will never take away their water
They don’t.
Sure.....yeah riiiiight she is going to cut back.
The standard response is “ You are wrong! I don’t water my lawn at all, don’t believe your lying eyes….peasant!”
Next they will tell us that she simply poops on her lawn and the grass magically burst into a glorious lush carpet.

This story is a good example of when it comes to their lecturing to the little people combined with hypocrisy, these people make Jim and Tammy Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart look like very upstanding citizens by comparison.

Streisand was spending almost $2,000.00 a month on water, years ago.
She consumes vast amounts of it.
Fascist are too special to be bothered with peon requirements.
Obama: “We’re Going To Have To Change How The Media Reports”
Let’s go further. Marijuana is one of the most water intensive users of water. And it is for a non-essential crop. Let’s forbid all water to Marijuana farms.
Hollywood movies are just playthings of the rich. Let’s forbid all water to Hollywood studios.
Almost all the rich use more water than the illegal immigrants. Let’s put a tax of $50/gal on water to houses with a market value over $200,000. Let’s put a tax of $100/gal on high tech company facilities where anyone makes more than $300,000/yr.
Let California be itself.
Wonderful photos at the link.
The most interesting quote illustrates IngSoc at it's finest:
'It’s disgusting. You walk by and you can smell the freshness.'
The indoctrination is so complete that even sensory signals have been perverted.
pictures emerge of her lush gardens.... that impliews soe other really ugly images.
At least Cher and Jennifer Aniston seem to have done some landscaping to switch to desert adapted plants.
Well yeah, she was caught out. If she wasn’t, she’d keep on doing it. Liberals: It’s us, not you.
Like most Hollywood liberals, she doesn't really give a crap about things like this. It's all for show. To appear "hip" and "trendy".
