"Nate Berkus, John, Legend, Lindsay Ellington, Lily Aldridge, and Other Celebrities' Dream Pools\nNate Berkus, John, Legend, Lindsay Ellington, Lily Aldridge, and other A-listers reveal their dream pools\nVictoria's Secret model Lindsay Ellingson, at the debut of the film Stoker, reported that it's all about the fun. \"I want to have a waterslide for sure,\" she said. \"I always wanted to go to [the Bahamas resort] Atlantis, because they have those crazy waterslides. So I would have a really fun, crazy waterslide pool with saltwater. I hate chlorine\u2014my hair turns green.\"\n\nEllingson is seen here at the premiere of Django Unchained.\nAustralian actress Mia Wasikowska, one of the stars of Stoker and seen here at the premiere alongside costar Matthew Goode, indicated that her dream pool is based on an unusual feature at an aquatic center back in Sydney. \"It has a whirlpool-type thing, so you get sucked into this current, and then spat out,\" she explained. \"I don't know why I like that so much.\"\nAD ran into Jersey Shore stars Jenni Farley (a.k.a. JWoww) and Nicole Polizzi (a.k.a. Snooki) at the GLAAD Media Awards in New York. \"Mine\" answered Farley. \"Hers,\" her diminutive pal Polizzi confirmed. \"She's got a cave and a waterfall like Hugh Hefner.\"\nAlso at the GLAAD event was Good Morning America co-anchor Lara Spencer, who told the Inquisitive Guest that she had just designed a pool at her house in L.A. \"A pool should be big enough to swim laps but small enough to be warm, without wasting too much energy,\" she said. \"And it has to have a hot tub, because nothing starts a party like a warm, bubbling area.\"\nAt the Elton John AIDS Foundation gala, actress Aisha Tyler mentioned a pool in Las Vegas that had caught her fancy. \"They have a new pool at the Hard Rock hotel that is like a beach,\" she said. \"One edge is all sand, and the floor of the pool is sand, and you kind of lay there on the sand. It's lovely. Luckily, it's not the pool they use for Celebrity Rehab.\"\nSupermodel Angela Lindvall, walking the green carpet at Global Green USA's benefit, offered up a novel design: \"My kids are obsessed with [the online video game] Minecraft. So if I could do anything I wanted, I'd want a Minecraft pool.\"\nPeripatetic supermodel Lily Aldridge, at the Ferragamo L'Icona event in New York's Chelsea neighborhood, didn't think she could outdo the design of the pool at the Amanyara Resort in Turks and Caicos. \"It's all black slate, about five feet deep, and overlooking the gorgeous ocean,\" she said. \"Superclean. It's breathtaking when you see it.\"\nOlympic-medal-winning gymnast Nastia Liukin, attending the Heart Truth Red Dress fashion show, said she would have her pool \"painted dark at the bottom with the Olympic rings in metallic colors.\" We kidded that she might have the Olympic theme song play over a sound system. \"Exactly,\" she agreed.\n\"I wish there was a swimming pool on the rooftop of the building where I live,\" said Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Irina Shayk, the girlfriend of international soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, at the SI issue's launch soir\u00E9e. \"That's my dream. Just to have a pool built on the top of my building.\" Hint: Ronaldo? Santa?\nFantasy is reality at the Raleigh Hotel in Miami. \"I actually quite like the Raleigh in Miami,\" mentioned Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Cintia Dicker. \"I was just there, and they have this bar on the edge where you can hang out and have a drink.\" Author and Barneys New York creative director Simon Doonan, seen here with Mary-Kate Olsen, concurred. \"I still occasionally dream about the Raleigh pool in Miami. It's so insanely beautiful.\"\n\nDoonan and Olsen are seen here at a Diet Pepsi Style Studio event.\nAnnaSophia Robb, star of the CW's Carrie Diaries, attending Betsey Johnson's fashion show, said that she'd like to re-create nature. \"I'd love to have a natural pool with algae and no concrete, one that naturally cleans itself. No chlorine,\" she explained. \"It would be a little cold. Just a pond.\"\nReal-estate-mogul-in-training Ivanka Trump, in the front row at the Michael Kors fashion show, explained that designing pools is part of her day job. \"[The Trump Hotel Collection] actually just bought the Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Miami, which has an incredible pool and an amazing lagoon,\" she said. \"And we're going to make the most incredible pool in all of Miami. We literally just finished the design, with infinity edges. . . . It's going to be beautiful!\"\n\nTrump is seen here at the Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute gala.\nWearing black-and-white polka dots in the front row at Carolina Herrera's show, actress Maggie Grace claimed that her fantasy was based on a pool she saw on an island in Italy during a girlfriend's birthday. \"It was an infinity pool carved into the rock,\" she explained. \"It just disappeared into the ocean. The rock formation was so incredible, it felt like it was naturally occurring.\"\n\nGrace is seen here at the opening night of Cinderella.\nAt a Clinique event at Rockefeller Center's 620 Loft &amp;amp; Garden, design superstar Nate Berkus spoke of the pool at Las Brisas Beach Club in Acapulco, Mexico. \"I wouldn't want it in my yard, because I'm not one for a rock formation,\" he said, \"but it's a saltwater pool with a rock formation around it. And in the 1960s, it was likely filled with film stars.\"\n\nBerkus is seen here at the 2013 Delete Blood Cancer gala.\nDuring the recent Bravo Upfront event in New York, the star of reality show Flipping Out, interior designer Jeff Lewis said that he envisions an infinity pool at the Wallace Neff\u2013designed house he recently purchased. \"It would seemingly have no edge,\" said Lewis. \"The water spills over and is collected in a trough. Since my home is on a hill, what I want to do is actually have it spill the other way, so you have this beautiful water feature that I would light up at night.\"\nAn aesthete in many areas, singer-songwriter John Legend doesn't daydream about water. \"I'm not really that into pools,\" he replied, quietly. \"First, I need to learn how to swim.\"\nNASCAR driver Jeff Gordon, seen here with wife Ingrid Vandebosch at the Cinema Society and Epix debut of Madonna: The MDNA Tour, knew the proper term that so many stars searched for when we talked: \"Negative edge,\" said Gordon. \"We designed one not too long ago, because we just finished building a house. It looks like a reflecting pool\u2014long, sleek, and narrow.\"\nThe Good Wife's Archie Panjabi came up with the cutest aquatic concept. \"A little dog pool next to mine,\" she said at the Clinique event. \"A shallow place for my little dog. Not in with me. . . but near me.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
