ReplyDeleteI'll never forget her advice .. .
"First, one must arrange to be born in Paris."
Alas, I received that memo too late -
but, have done what I could to make up for my initial faux pas.
Jjjj
I must say the best time I had with her was when I was given a special tour at the Met Costume and taken into the inner sanctum - the CLOSET and then the Holy of Holies, the boardroom...and there in the corner, lifesize was a papiermache looking life size Diana Vreeland, lacquered hair and all...and on the table was the mock set up of MODEL AS MUSE exhibit...so you see, SHE is still running the show, even from beyond!
ReplyDeleteHa, me too - love her. I did a brief post quoting her

That is quite a round-up. I think she'd love the staying power.
ReplyDeleteShe is the gift that keeps on giving!

On another note...your post of Dec.10 on your friend who passed away was very touching. I too have a friend who is a Mentor in
ReplyDeleteStyle, and he has had the worst bout with Cancer, losing his tongue...he will be 78 but will still put all to shame with his touch. He is certainly quick with quip and quote, and yet, he is gentle to cats and flowers...He is a GEM.
I saw you in the photos, smiling with your dear ones...keep on smiling.
I sometimes do not know why someone out there seems to think you are a Man? It is posted that you are Female! Can you clarify!
Daniel a little one certainly counts with the grande dame, thank you for joining Us. g.
ReplyDeleteI esp. liked when you posted about books you liked. That moved me to realize how little I read these days. I did buy a Kindle thinking I would read more, but even then, it seems I chose cheesy biographies of celebrities who had died of cancer.
ReplyDeleteYour list and others' lists were quite impressive.
There is a fine sophistication to your blog that I adore and learning more of what you find interesting explains to a degree your brilliant sense of being. You take care.
ReplyDeleteWarm regards,
Simone.
Anon- how lovely to reflect back on my story. We are lucky for these wonderful people to come into our lives. I have been blessed several times over. How could I be so lucky? It seems these forces-and they are continue to teach us more about life that design and style. You have inspired a post- I hope you like it.GT
ReplyDeletepink is the navy blue of india - one of my favorite quotes from dv -
ReplyDeleteI was so sad you didn't mention my post on Diana Vreeland... then I realized I didn't post it!!
ReplyDeleteMy bad. I have rectified the situation because of your due diligence.
I am So glad it was Your Bad- I looked for DV at LV and wept that you had not posted on the Divine one-It just did not seem right! Now I know and You are on board-just in the nick of time for 09! Gaye
ReplyDeleteAn Aesthete should thank you for your continued support.You have lived up to your hopes for a great dialogue with readers. I read your blog along with others you have referred to through the year and I am impressed by the way many dovetail but do not ever cross over to the point of duplication. I thought when Mrs. Blandings had her special work on rooms to remember in the future your own additions were excellent. I have traveled along with you from that point and been impressed by your observations. You bring something unique to the table. Do continue.
ReplyDeleteAnon.on 12/.31thank you for the compliment. It is I who owe AAL for support. I have readers mention that site a path to mine. AAL is the bar-on that I think most readers of the BEST would agree. happiest of New Year.s
