"People who have good taste are bound to make a mistake now and then, because they're human, and when they do it's a horrendous one. It's so ugly you can't believe it. On the other hand people who have terrible taste are bound to make a mistake and buy something exquisite - and you can't possibly understand how that could happen"

- Joan Crawford

Several Christmases ago B gave me a wonderful gift. A signed edition of Joan Crawford's book "My Way of Life" from which I took the above quote.

It is a fabulous book. It has a lot of camp value. The way she wrote it is very conversational so you can actually hear her saying what you're reading.

Highly enjoyable. A sure way to make me smile and rassle up some creative inspiration is to slide it off the shelf and open up to any page.

That quote just about sums up nearly every dating decision I have ever made.
;p
Every once and a while I make an exquisite choice much to the dumbfounded shock of everyone I know.
