"Maybe the naked truth is glorious,
but I like a little chiffon here and there!"
~Elsie James
Although I do not expect them, tokens
of affection are always appreciated and form lasting memories of our time together. I am hopelessly sentimental!
My primary reason for listing some of the things I enjoy is to give you a better idea of my tastes and interests, which
are very eclectic! For those of you who might be curious, I lyrically inform you that "these are a few of
my few of my favorite things."
*Pretty little things...ladies appreciate small,
unique items like beautiful ornate compacts (I collect Guilloche and others) bits of antique jewelry (earrings and
bracelets) pretty stockings or lingerie and other trinkets. Little treasures that make a girl
smile when she thinks of her kind sir.
*Theater tickets...I adore live theater. In addition, I enjoy film--from classics to contemporary, art
and indie films. I also have fun exploring history and art museums.Not sure what to choose?

*Music...Smooth Jazz, Soul, New and Old School R & B (crazy about Tower of Power), Standards (my boys Dean, Frank
and Tony), Latin and more. I particularly enjoy Jazz music and local Jazz clubs. I am keen on live music of any
kind--from local to national acts--and frequently attend performances. Also dancing! Salsa is sexy, and although I've
never had lessons, I can make the moves!
*Wine...Reds.In particular, Cabernet, Petite Syrah, Zinfandel and Shiraz. I am fond of champagne (Veuve Cliquot) but have recently discovered Santa Margherita Proseccowhich is my new pick.
*Flowers...All types of bountiful fresh bouquets, particularly unusual, fragrant and colorful varieties in white
or warm shades of yellow, peach, cinnamon and persimmon. Tulips, Lilies and Orchids are favorites.
*According
to Persian tradition, it is customary for a suitor to offer a tulip to a woman since the tulip is considered to be a
gift from a “perfect” lover!
*Books...History, pre-raphaelite
art, classical poetry and literature, Hollywood, film, spiritual sex, cuisine, wine and anything depicting the finer
things in life.
*Classical
and Contemporary Art...I realize I am way over the
top on this one, but I am including a link to one of my favorite artists, who happens to be local. I admire her
work (and she is a magnificent woman...read about her "Beautiful Project" and donate if you can.)
*Adventures...Maybe it's a hot air balloon ride, skiing, sky diving, a tango lesson or a two-week Tantra Retreat
in Hawaii. I am extremely adventurous
and have been fortunate in my life to have known wonderful men who have introduced me to some of their favorite activities.
Unbelievable experiences, from ordinary to exotic. The memories I've made are priceless. What am I up for?
Just ask!
I delight
in old Hollywood...the glamour and style. I am particularly fond of classic films. One of my favorite lines is
from the 1958 film, Auntie Mame, starring Rosalind Russell. I leave you with her pearls of wisdom...
"Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!" "Live, Live, LIVE!!!"
