"Wow! You are so beautiful! A doll. Peaches and cream complexion. Like porcelain - which is the highest praise in my books, too. And I see what you mean - we'd have been a pair, Kathryn! I love how we owned . . ." more

"I have found that some recordings by older singers, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, and Leonard Cohen, have moved me to tears - they have a depth they didn't in former years. And perhaps it's the older, frail, . . ." more

Interests

Favorite Movies, Actors, Genres:

Lately I'm smitten with Wong Kar-wai's movies, oh, what a man he portrays! And every frame is a painting. Beautiful, beautiful women and men. Vivid colour - who else does blues and greens like Kar-wai? Or those florid reds, bursting passion. And his films haunt me for years after. And Tarkovsky, my first love. "Nostalghia" being my favourite film for a few decades, and "Stalker, " and "Mirror." The water, the light, the beautiful profound characters, the struggles, the massive sets, the epic proportions of ordinary lives, the poetry of his films I am fully grateful for and can't live without. And Wim Wender's, "Wings of Desire" - this movie has shaped me, my understanding of love, of the scope, the scope of us all. "Sex and Lucia, " by Medem is a poem of sensuality, a full moon of wisdom on our fertility - the island with no roots but an interconnected interlacing of tunnels swimming with salt water. Not to forget Hero, by Yimou, lord of the Oriental martial arts movie, that burning story of the unification of China, painterly scenes of airborne dancers and bright coloured fabrics blowing in the wind or the spirited dance of candlelight, and wisdom and its knowing sacrifice. These are among the directors and films that inspire me. (written May/08)

I don't require my dance partners to be werewolves, Christians or young for that matter. Just that they love music.....
