• climbing those sand dunes. once upon a time.
• the conversations we used to have during those long walks around my neighborhood. we would dart cross the stream (remember taking pictures there, way back when, in the very early years?) and circle the lake to the gazebo area, where two of the lakes joined under the footbridge. we walked on that bridge so many times over the years, but i don't think i touched it once -- those spiderwebs freaked me out so much! sometimes we just kept walking and circled back through the neighborhood -- talking nonstop all the way -- but the times i remember most were when we stopped to linger there, near the gazebo, where those two lakes met in the middle. it felt like the center of the world -- like it was just you and me, in the center of the world. it certainly felt like the windiest...

• Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. I'd be playing myself...no one could do it better -- except Audrey Hepburn. I don't know if Audrey and I had anything in common, but if we did, it was certainly not the Holly in me. But I'd rather she play the role anyway, because she did me proud. She's the only one who can outshine me at being me! Plus, she epitomized the skinny brunette gamine as a timelessly chic style icon, combining the seemingly efortless elegance and -- above all -- CLASS -- sheer, ever-classic class -- dripping with GLAMOUR. Moreover, for it allows just enough room for a touch of free spirited creativity and the occasional surprise. What more could I ask for? Marilyn Monroe I adore, and relate to much, much more as a person (if my impressions are correct. which they ARE). But Audrey is my physical type, made it forever chic, epitom...

  • Sharp collarbones, skinny arms, small waistline.
  • I inherited very narrow hipbones. It suits my overall look, and I like it. The disadvantage? Waist-to-hip ratio. I hear that's important. My waist has to be that much tinier to create a bikini silhouette.
  • Shapely legs, probably from running. I actually hate them, though, because my calves are disproportionately big for my body. They look chubby unless I am severely underweight. Then they look what is so-cal...

• Picture caption: "Lady in Red" (not a good shot of the sweater AT ALL, but oh well. I've got better examples somewhere else.
• Background Two years ago, I acquired My two favorite and most versatile sweaters -- wide ribbed V-neck pull-over sweater, moderately light but too much so with long-sleeves.
  • Appropriate for almost ANy occasion. They were super-flattering, and I had one in each of my favorite-and-most-flattering colors: ruby red, and royal purple. (Jewel-tones look best on me, and only the so-called "cool" hue of any given color looks good on me).
  • They were a bit-longish in the torso, meaning the bottom hem lay above the hips but below the waistline. This is a good thing because it achieves just the right proportions, since the neckline is rather low. It also elongates my waist-line, accen...
