we're Obsessed!

I just finished reading The Accidental Feminist: How Elizabeth Taylor Raised Our Consciousness And We Were Too Distracted by Her Beauty to Notice. It was a little light on the jewelry coverage but a great review of Taylor’s independent woman behavior. A quality that went right down to the "Mine!" luggage tags on her Louis Vuitton suitcases sold at the auction in December. The assertive labels inspired Monica Rich Kosann to create a replica in 18K gold. It goes without saying that if Miss Taylor were here today she would have more than one of these in her collection.
