tag, I'm it - What I am reading
Monday, 23. April 2007, 02:36:35
Well, it's been a month and I owe a blog tag post.
The book I just finished reading is The Classic Ten: The True Story of the Little Black Dress and Nine Other Fashion Favorites.
It has a page 123, it does not however have a 5th paragraph on that page. So, starting at the top of page 123, I have counted 5 paragraphs. The 5th paragraph happens to fall on page 125. It reads:
"I'm not much of a jewelery wearer, so my pearls rarely leave their blue velvet box. Nevertheless, I like knowing they're there - they are a part of what links me to the other women in my family. This is not an uncommon sentiment. In researching this chapter, I've come across dozen of stories of pearls being handed down from mother to daughter to granddaughter - some spectacular, like the Vanderbilt tale, others more ordinary but no less meaningful. Pearls are a singularly graceful legacy, not just a possession but an emblem of femininity. (Because they're so widely recognized as such, pearls are the perfect tool for turning concepts like gentility on their heads: Tim Curry, playing the sex-mad transvestite Dr. Frankenfurter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, wore a neat pearl choker.)
