    1. This dorsal view may be more than one needs to know, Terri. It's kind of like full-length mirrors in the dressing room, no?

      Just trying to keep things *real*

      Thanks for stopping by!

  3. Princess Grace is one of my favorite people. Was she as much like her name in real life as she comes across on screen and in print?

    1. My encounter was brief and I was primarily concerned with addressing her properly *Votre Altesse* - *Your Highness* en francais ;-)

      I was a foreign exchange student in 1973 and my host family was friends with her children. That means I saw them more than her, and never had the chance to meet Ranier ~

      Yes, she was beautiful in person and I love watching her in old movies.
