Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend


The French are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives
Expensive jewels

A kiss on the hand may be quite Continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand
But it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat
Or help you at the automat

Men grow cold
As girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Tiffany's. . . Cartier. . .
Black frost. . .
Pearl 'bossed. . .
Talk to me, Harry Winston, tell me all about it!

There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice
But get that ice
Or else no dice

He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
Cos that's when those louses
Go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

I've heard of affairs which are strictly Platonic
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
And I think affairs that you
Must keep Masonic
Are better bets
If little pets get big baguettes

Time rolls on, and youth is gone
And you can't straighten up when you bend
But stiff back, or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffany's

Diamonds, diamonds. . .
I don't mean rhinestones
Diamonds. . .
Are a girl's best. . . best friend

Hawaiian Tropic


It was the flower in the hair that inspired the colors and then it had a life of its own. Hot tropical colors for a trip to Hawaii - umm I wish :)

Shooting Starlet


It's named for the color and the star at the hip - no I don't want to go around shooting starlets - or do I? lol

What are shooting stars?

Shooting stars are mostly grit from space colliding at very high speed with air molecules high up in the sky.

Golden Elegance


Once there was a way
to get back homeward.
Once there was a way
to get back home.

Sleep pretty darling,
do not cry
and I will sing a lullaby.

Golden slumbers fill your eyes.
Smiles awake you when you rise.
Sleep pretty darling; do not cry
and I will sing a lullaby.

Once there was a way
to get back homeward.
Once there was a way
to get back home.
Sleep pretty darling
do not cry,
and I will sing a lullaby.
(The Beatles)

The Dark Muse




"They are all of one mind, their hearts are set upon song and their spirit is free from care. He is happy whom the Muses love. For though a man has sorrow and grief in his soul, yet when the servant of the Muses sings, at once he forgets his dark thoughts and remembers not his troubles. Such is the holy gift of the Muses to men."
