moments of domestic bliss with Elizabeth Taylor

My heart broke a bit yesterday morning when I heard the news about Elizabeth Taylor going to God yesterday. Kind of a depressing moment, as she was a huge icon in my life. I watched many moments on tv with montages of her life. It got my trying to imagine the interiors she must have experienced. The decor in her homes must have been magnanimous and the set decor had to be ridiculously wild. So, I wanted to take a moment today and remember her most beautiful moments of domestic bliss...

It was definitely a sad day...someone else commented that it was like losing the last of the true old Hollywood glam...I kinda feel the same. This is a great collection of pictures...

Mine too. I think she was every brunette's beauty icon.

What movie is the second picture from? The one in which Elizabeth Taylor is wearing a fur collar coat? The space looks sumptuous.

I, too, felt very connected to her, as I lived near her house (Casa Kimberley) with Richard Burton in Puerto Vallarta for seven years! What a loss!

Thank you for featuring in your blog the woman who I have always found to be the most beautiful in the entire world. She was captivating, flawless, passionate, sexy, vivacious and much much more. I have blogged about her in my own blog, http://aloveofthepast-cynthia.blogspot.com, several times before. I will miss her terribly.
