Sometimes it's hard to know how we came to love the the things we love. And other times it's really clear. I knew I loved the movie "The Age of Innocence" from the first time I saw it as a teenager. Maybe it was DDL , maybe the gorgeous costumes or that phenomenal Scorsese snap that the film seems to have. (The close-ups of handwritten notes.....the scenes through gauzy lace.....when Newland SMELLS the handle of her umbrella and KISSES her shoe!!!!) But I digress. And sure, sure.....I loved the 1997 version of Titanic with Leo and Kate. (And no, y'all, she COULD NOT HAVE moved over.) And though I was late, I jumped right into Downton Abbey as well. Now I watch HBO's The Gilded Age.....because well.....I think I signed a waiver or something along the way. (Kidding. Or am I????) But truthfully, it was all loooooong before all of this media. And I think it has a little something to do with being a North Carolina girl. As any true Gilded Age fan and follo
I've got a lot of thoughts.....I've got a lot of plans
