Anonymous asked: Hi! I stumbled upon this through mutual friends of ours. I too spent the first four years of my life in China and went to Dartmouth for undergrad. I find your photos, book selections, quotations and outfits remarkable and I was wondering if you have a list of favorite books you could share? Much appreciated (:

Anonymous asked: The giving poem, I wrote it this morning, my dear. Too shy to claim authorship.--- I also wrote the little quip about you being OBESE! ;-) Happy Holidays! Keep blogging!

Anonymous asked: Since it's the giving season and you are a writer, I thought you might enjoy this little quasi-poem I found: To say more than the black and white let slip/Words like gift wrapping, a multi-hued cocoon/For that between us that we hoped would fly./---The talent of saying the unsaid.

Anonymous asked: May I recommend Andre Aciman’s “Alibis: Essays on Elsewhere” ? A few quotes: “Great books, like great cities, always let us find things we think are only in us and couldn’t possibly belong anywhere else…” “Writing sees figures where life sees things; things we leave behind, figures we keep.”
Anonymous asked: Obese? Representing the women of the world that "hate" you for being so svelte and good-looking, in the immortal words of Emile Zola "J'accuse!" you of gross exaggeration! ;-)

Anonymous asked: Do you think that it is OK for a girl to be a good flirt? Hear me out here! I don't mean the sleazy, do-you-want-to---? flirt. Not at all! Rather a flirtation that is the enjoyment of banter, repartee, double entendres in a setting that can be described as polite "salon" society. Votre avis, ma cherie?

Anonymous asked: Why did John and Yoko click? Easy! Why do people like Juliette? Because Juliette supports, entertains, inspires. All men want a mother, a lover, a partner and an inspiration rolled into one. Yoko was that for John. Older than him and supportive, a mother; a fellow peacenik, a partner; a performance artist with profound and deep beliefs, an inspiration. We are such stuff as dreams are made of, and,...
Anonymous asked: Your melancholy musings about the glamour of the vaudeville age put me in mind of Woody Allen’s latest movie, Midnight in Paris. In it, an aspiring current-day writer dreams of living in 1920s Paris and an aspiring set designer he meets (and falls in love with) in 1920s Paris dreams of living during Belle Epoque (1890s) Paris.
