What do I look like?

Well Darlings,

I've been asked to describe myself to you, I dislike putting up a photo as I am always changing myself.

Because being a Diva changing oneself is important.

I had a hard time trying to think of a way to describe myself except that I'm 5' feet 5 inches tall, I'm still a size 8 (amazing) My stomach is not a flat as it use to be, but I still have fabulous legs, my hair is blonde (it was real blonde when I was young, now I help it) my eyes are green, I have managed to avoid wrinkles because I don't sun bathe, smoke, or eat junk food and confine my martini's to only two a week. But I can't resist a small chocolate torte.

I have high almost slavic cheek bones, I worked hard on making my voice pleasant to listen to.

I've been active in little theatre, but now a day they all want to do avant guarde things, so there hasn't been much for me to audition for.

I've acted in the stage version of "Witness for the Prosecution" 3 times, all because each director said I have a bit of a resemblance to Marlene Dietrich as Christine Vole. (and I played the role successfully too)

I love wearing beautiful gowns espeically from the 1930's, 40's and 50's I even collect designer gowns, and designer costume jewerly and yes I wear Fur, but only mink they are not endangered.

There have been times when someone has briefly mistaken me for the Great Marlene to which I'm flattered.

But even I have to bow to some problems of age, such as wearing glasses to read, well one can't be perfect all the time.

And what to I enjoy doing? Well Darlings, what do you think a well traveled, well educated woman of the world enjoys doing? Hmmmmm?

I love theatre, the movies, the opera, reading, going to intimate jazz clubs, and even enjoying a good comedy act, discovering restraunts that have fabulous food, traveling, antique hunting, auctions, Shopping in the City, being with good friends and even doing things that some people would consider quaint such as attending events sponsored by the Art Deco Society. Going for a drive with my dear friends Bill and Irma who have the most fabulous car collection, in one of their fabulous cars.

I get restless at times, rain and winter almost crimps my Diva style but I persever.

Well Darlings, time to go, one of my dear friends is here to take me out to dinner at some new delightful spot.

Kisses Darlings.
