So long, Liz

Elizabeth Taylor died today.  She was 79.  In her final years, she was often confined to a wheelchair and her beauty had faded.


But that happens to all of us.  Let us remember her instead for the ravishing beauty she was most of her life.








And let me put one other lie to rest.  Despite my claims over many decades, she was neither my sister nor my cousin.  But I'll still miss her.

  6. I find it so interesting that the eyes have such a great impact on beauty. And her eyes were extraordinary.

  7. She reportedly was born with a double set of lashes and violet eyes. Pretty hard to top that.
