{ Dolly Parton's Word's of Wisdom }

Knoxville.com just posted a recent Dolly P interview, and I couldn't help but share this great quote. I think I'll be living by it, even though I don't have any 'fake' parts, still... this woman knows her place! Gotta love her!

" I don’t like being any higher up than pullin’ corn and any lower than diggin’ for taters. I’m afraid I’ll lose my hair and my boobs and anything else that isn’t mine,” she said with a laugh. {via}

Today is a sad day, the gorgeous infamous Elizabeth Taylor has passed away at the age of 79. Those eyes were hypnotizing, and her ability to breathe such life into strong women roles will be greatly missed. {via}

A Legend Passes

It is always a sad day when a member of your social, peer, or influenced community passes away. Charles Gwathmey, a member of the famed New York Five (sometimes referred to as the whites) and a principal of Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects, died on Monday at age 71 after a battle with esophageal cancer. Known for meticulously conceived modernist designs influenced by Le Corbusier (a personal fave), Gwathmey launched his career with a house for his parents, completed in 1967, that earned him wide acclaim and would remain a touchstone throughout his career. (via) Gwathmey did a few 'quiet' but beautiful favorites of mine: Whig Hall, the Guggenheim addition, and Hampton Home.
