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.

*Pampering...precious, relaxing trips to the spa for various beauty treatments.  I always wish to look my loveliest for you!
Gift Certificates to any of the following:

*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? 
Look for my Event Date Packages and leave it to me.  Perfect for the visiting traveler. 
 
*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 Prosecco which 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!!!"

New Travel Idea...how much fun would this be?
