I Would Die 4 U

If I had to pinpoint it exactly, I would say that I fall somewhere on the fanatic scale between the ‘standard college freshman’ and a one ‘Becky’, who happens to be the disco diva mother of a dear friend. As far as my love for His Purpleness goes, Prince Rogers Nelson and I solidified our relationship when I trekked my sunny southern something to MPLS in January to visit Fifth Avenue. For those who gained all of your knowledge of Prince through his semi-autobiographical movie Purple Rain, I bet you missed the part where one of his most famous songs, When Dove’s Cry, was written specifically for the family history montage scene.

Did I mention the Disco Diva, her daughter, and I are seated in the 12th row for his surprise concert through Columbia? That’s right folks, I would die 4 U too.

What sort of diary should I like mine to be? Something loose-knit and yet not slovenly, so elastic that it will embrace anything, solemn, slight or beautiful, that comes into my mind. I should like it to resemble some deep old desk or capacious hold-all, in which one flings a mass of odds and ends without looking them through. I should like to come back after a year or two, and find that the collection had sorted itself and refined itself and coalesced, as such deposits so mysteriously do, into a mould, transparent enough to reflect the light of our life, and yet steady, tranquil compounds with the aloofness of a work of art. The main requisite, I think, on reading my old volumes, is not to play the part of a censor, but to write as the mood comes or of anything whatever; since I was curious to find how I went for things put in haphazard, and found the significance to lie where I never saw it at the time.

I grew up watching cooking shows instead of cartoons. I get whisks and pastry brushes in my Christmas stocking instead of traditional trinkets. My favorite thing to do is frost a cupcake. My undergraduate degree was in Theatrical Costume Design, which means I take pride in how I am presented. I own monogrammed wine glasses, and my own set of Italian Vietri China. I collect English tea cups, and love a good cucumber sandwhich. I shop at J.Crew and Banana Republic and I have traveled to over %9 of the world. This blog began as a travel log while I was abroad, however like most things in life-- plans are subject to change, so here's to good food and good fashion!
