My Momma:


Since the passing of Elizabeth Taylor I’ve been having reflection about my own personal copy of her. See my mother is Elizabeth Taylor. At least I think so. Men always complement her and open doors for her and tell my father what a lucky man he is to have married such a lovely bride. I just assumed she was a star, but she’s a happy homemaker and my mom. She recently turned 75 and in the living room of my parents home (they’ve been married for 52 years) you’ll find an end table with a nail file, polish and tweezers. In her purse you’ll find a six pack of Tab because as she says, “You never know when you’ll find yourself stranded at an airport without it!”


























Here’s to my Momma, my own personal Elizabeth Taylor.

  3. "Men always complement her and open doors for her and tell my father what a lucky man he is to have married such a lovely bride."


    Those are little acts of kindness and loveliness that were expected of a true gentleman in those days. Now in today's unmannered society ladies drink pints with whiskey chasers are covered in tattoos, piercings and pull their knickers out from between the cheeks of their arse in public. Apart from Mrs Pirate is there such a thing as a lady anymore?

    Alas chivalry is now officially dead, woman are expected to carry their own heavy bags and pay for their own fucking drinks.

  5. In the end they never remember the color of your living room, or the color of your Cadillac, but they do remember how you treated people and your sparkle. Tis true!

    You're lucky lucky to have both parents still around.

    Congrats on 52 years! What an achievement!
