Something about Elizabeth

A lot has been written about Dame Elizabeth Taylor’s passing for me her passing made me reflect on her passion for diamonds. I believe was Elizabeth a diamond herself. Diamonds are mined, Elizabeth’s mine was Hollywood, where she was shaped, polished and sparkled. Diamonds are rated on the three Cs, cut, color, clarity. Elizabeth cut her life they way she wanted life  to be. Elizabeth saw no color in people everyone was the same. Elizabeth had clarity, she had her beliefs and stood by them. Diamonds are durable and Elizabeth was resilient, even she said so herself

” I’m a survivor, am a living example people of what can survive “

I was fortunate to have met Elizabeth’s daughter Liza Todd. Liza is a very talented sculptor. One would have thought being the daughter of a great Hollywood star she would be very Hollywood but no she is very down to earth and has the three Cs of her mother.

Radiance is within us as we all have an inner diamond.

Paris Potscard, Horiyoshi The Third

An great start at Horiyoshi The Third, an amazing scarf collection want it now !!!! Rooster, Phoenix, Dragon, Florals in earth tones and a touch of red….. Horiyoshi The Third, knows how to make a girl melt for a scarf. Definitely guarding this collection very closely as the scarf thief is still about. Buying appointments at a Horiyoshi The Third, is a social affair not an appointment. Over cappuccinos its all about Galliano’s indiscretion that has created a dampness in the air. Liz Hurley being comforted by Hugh Grant, now thats really being comforted. Lindsey Lohan and her latest antics, oh la la. LA and Australian at buyers Horiyoshi The Third, popping in oohing and ahing at the Horiyoshi The Third collection. It was all a buzz and I am dreaming of the navy dragon scarf it has my name on it.

Paris Postcard, John Galliano, Mrs Burstein, Browns London in the beginning

John Galliano reached the greaatest hightest in fashion because of a great Jewish lady, Joan Burstein OBE, Browns London. My beloved former employer. Mrs B as she is fondy referred to discovered Galliano at his final degree show. Mrs B saw his talent and knew he was a creative designer in the making. Galliano and I stood on Browns shop floor together to sell his collection, summer 1985. Flowy white pirate shirts and Barbara Streisand was his first celeb client.

As a former Browns buyer, Galliano’s anti-Semitic remarks saddens me as it ended his career at Dior. I am wishing this very talented designer light, love and forgiveness.
