		Rubirosa's marriage to Hutton lasted 75 days and netted the happy husband cash and property worth $3.5 million, enough to finance his polo ponies, tailored suits and lavish partiers for years to come.

	Emblem of a Swinging, Wife-Beating Era - September 21, 2005 - The New York Sun
		Porfirio Rubirosa was a "Latin lover" back in the days when the term suggested palm trees and romance instead of a "Saturday Night Live" sketch.
		Between 1932 and his death in 1965, Rubirosa married five women, among them two American heiresses (Doris Duke and Barbara Hutton), two French actresses (Danielle Darrieux and Odile Rodin), and the daughter of one Latin American leader (Flor de Oro Trujillo).
		Ribald waiters called their establishment's largest peppermill "the Rubirosa." In the 1950s, when serious newspapers were busy with the House Un-American Committee, tabloids quoted songs referring to Rubirosa as a "Ding Dong Daddy." I shudder to think what his nickname would have been were he a contemporary of Sir Mix-a-Lot.

	Biography: The Last Playboy: The High Life of Porfirio Rubirosa by Shawn Levy - Times Online
		The Dominican playboy Porfirio Rubirosa (1909-65) was possessed of such an attribute, but lived during a time when it was a widely and archly advertised thing of mystery.
		The omission is all the more absurd given Levy’s final assessment of the publicity-seeking Rubi: “he had given himself over to sensation, he created sensations, he ended in sensation”.
		Parisian waiters may still refer to over-sized pepper grinders as Rubirosas, but apart from that Rubi is a will-o’-the-wisp figure.

		Levy's most recent book, The Last Playboy: The High Life of Porfirio Rubirosa, chronicles the colorful life of Rubi, renowned in his day for his lavish exploits, not to mention his large penis.
		In 1997, Levy first delved into the identity of "Dominican playboy Porfirio Rubirosa." What he discovered was the captivating, larger-than-life story of a man famous for being famous.
		Part of Rubirosa's fame, as Levy explains, was attributed to the Dominican playboy's legendary penis-a reportedly massive member once described as looking like "Yul Brynner in a turtleneck." But aside from his genetic endowments, Rubi was known as a polo player, race-car driver, jewel thief and gigolo.

		The car could not be retrieved from the sandbanks so the Le Mans adventure ended there and then.

	The jet-set escapades of a modern Casanova
		Shawn Levy, who has written books on Jerry Lewis and Frank Sinatra, has found such a fellow in Porfirio Rubirosa, a Dominican dandy who tore up the international social scene from Paris to Palm Beach in the 1930s, '40s and '50s.
		Furthermore, he was dashing: "sculpted, rugged and confident" with "a tight crown of wavy hair, a broad forehead, dark almond-shaped eyes, wide cheekbones and a cafe au lait complexion." To boot, there was his reportedly "superhuman endowment," which third wife Doris Duke called "the most magnificent" she'd ever seen.
		It was so massive, Levy says, it inspired cheeky waiters to refer to their restaurant's largest peppermill as the "Rubirosa."
