bows and ribbons, lace and satin. pressed flowers and candied violets. rose-colored chinese shoes with embroideries of peonies. gold and silver, pink and turquoise, jasmine, velvet, and little pearl buttons. nefertiti, twiggy, audrey and greta. i love everything that is beautiful and my life is as delicately brocaded as those tiny cloth-of-gold tang dynasty shoes threaded in red, good luck colors, dreams spun out of sugar and magic and ornaments of jade. full of love & full of escapism.
