Worshipful of Life
One of the inevitable statements that I reiterate with friends is, “I don’t know if I love life, but I love beautiful things.” It underlines my extreme appreciation of all things beautiful, whether it is a richly textured book or painting, sumptuous cinematic or culinary experience, a heartbreaking piece of music, breathtaking landscapes, exquisite gowns, or a stunning human face.
Beauty is everywhere and I think to be attuned to it is a privilege. I find that my seeking senses always approach beauty with quiet exhilaration. Moreover, it is amazing how you cannot get acclimatized to what strikes you as remarkably beautiful. I am always left in the best mood with a glowing smile radiating this palpable positive energy from deep within that makes me at once serene and worshipful of life.

What a strikingly wonderful first post! Mine is, sad to say, rather soapbox-y and boring. You wrote an excellent introduction to your site with this, if you don’t mind my saying so.

Dear Diane,
You do have the soul of an artist and what a wonderful gift to see life out of your “window!” I love your blog and appreciate the time it takes to put together such a lovely tableau. Will we be seeing more movie costumes, perhaps?

Dear H, you are so sweet and I cannot thank you enough for your kind words.
As a matter of fact, I just posted TONS of photos. But if you can believe it, there remains many that I really want to display. However, locating some stills are nearly impossible. For instance, photos of Julie Christie during the fashionable ’60s are eluding me.
