Elizabeth Taylor jewelry auction

[DiamondsAreForever]

I just read an article on my home page that Liz Taylor's 33.19 ct. emerald cut diamond ring along with some of her other magnificent pieces are going up for auction.  I could totally pull that off.

given that we have the same name, I feel as though I should at least be allowed to babysit for her collection.  I'd take rull rull good care of it.

I may have you beat:  My married name will be M**** Elizabeth Taylor.   No kidding.

Oh wait a minute...is someone getting married here???  I think the bride-to-be wins...and what an amazing ER it will be!    

(Congratulations DAF...do you have a date set yet???  A month??? A season??? A year???)  This romantic needs to know...

[DiamondsAreForever]

Haha.  No, not yet.  DF and I have been together since 1994.  We bought a house together in 2002 and in 2008 he finally put the ring on my finger.  (Check out this thread for a peek http://coloreddiamon...your-jewels/my-er/0/).  We don't have a date, but I'm sure we'll go see the mayor sometime soon.

Nope.  I think I win.  My married name IS Elizabeth Taylor.  David can confirm!  I've had a decade of heckling as a result.  I TOLD him he should take my name....but nooooooooooooooo.  People are always like, "wow, you're parents gave you a great name!"  Yeah.  They didn't.  I married into it.  

The best part is that I live across the street from Nancy Drew.  And in real life I know someone who lives right by me who is Grace Kelly.  lol.  I still get to lay claim to the jewels though!  No one trumps Elizabeth Taylor's jewels!

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!  That ring is STUNNING.  And funny enough, I'm Elizabeth M. Taylor!

DAF, I LOVE YOUR ER!  I love the rainbows too...stopping to smile at the rainbows is as important as smelling the flowers...IMO!  With or without the mayor or the papers...you got the "married" thing all over you, the house and the cats.  Don't make me start singing..."Our house...is a very, very, very fine house...with (unknown number)  cats in our yard???  Oh forget it...

DAF, umm, I think you lost your status as a "blushing bride"  so sorry to say that, it's back on:  

and firegypsy..no one likes a POSER!!!

I'm down to eight inside Tonks and an inside/outside Maine Coon, along with the birds and the koi in the backyard.

That's so cool.  You iniitally didn't specify that you had the whole name thing going, so I thought you were just an Elizabeth. 

When you share a name with someone famous, people don't forget you.    I propose we share Liz's collection.

[firegypsy]

It's true, they rarely forget.  It helped back when I was still actively working in the entertainment industry because people did remember me!  Now, mostly they laugh at me and ask a. what number husband I'm on, b. if I have lavender eyes or c. if I routinely demand jewelry.  

First husband, green eyes and YES!  Although someone needs to read dh the rules so he becomes more compliant.  Demanding doesn't mean receiving, mores the pity.

We can certainly share the collection!  I'd be honored!  Where shall we go to claim what is rightfully ours?  

And DAF-is there a photo thread here with your animals?  I'd LOVE to see photos!

[DiamondsAreForever]

My (never used) desktop has all of the photos.  In another thread, someone asked if I had other pictures of my beloved Fudgekin, who passed away a few weeks back.  I do, I just have to get them off of that computer.  It's on my "To Do" list for this weekend. 

[firegypsy]

Oh, I remember that thread, I'm so sorry.  Your kitty was a beauty!  Well, when you have time, I love all things sparklie and fuzzy!

The Emerald and Diamond necklace isn't to shabby, either. 
The items are on display at Christie's in New York.

Hold on just a minute here- you told me you were in fact, the violet eyed beauty reaching out from the afterlife- didn't you??
Looks like we'll have to revoke the celebrity discount

Hey wait, David, weren't you supposed to be paying Mrs. T there for the privilege of her allowing your jewels to adorn her body?  I'm just saying.  I know some celebrities   do get paid for wearing designer stuff.

[firegypsy]

yes.  yes.  we'll go with that.  I am VERY fancy.   oh come let us adorn me !

[DiamondsAreForever]

yes.  yes.  we'll go with that.  I am VERY fancy.   oh come let us adorn me !

FireGypsy, you seriously have me cracking up here. How apropo "Oh come let us adorn me..."
