R.I.P. Elizabeth Taylor

By La Petite Acadienne

Elizabeth Taylor, living legend, philanthropist, AIDS activist, perfumer, hopeless romantic, and the owner of one of the most staggering jewelry collections ever, has passed away of congestive heart failure at the age of 79.

Her heart, her all-encompassing, all-loving, heart was the source of much joy and much misery for her.

May she be at peace, and may her legend live on even after all of us who were here during her lifetime are long gone.

Cheers, Liz. You were one of the great ones.

Now here’s a woman who deserves to be memorialized on a jewelry blog. The prices for her book on Amazon have gone three digits now after her death. I’m kicking myself for not getting it when I had the chance.
