Too beautiful to touch.

[JB]

My grandma had a marble bust of a dutch girl that I simply adored from my earliest memories of Grandmas house.

I was not allowed to touch her. She was, Grandma said, too beautiful to touch. Admiring her was okay, but to touch her was to trespass where I was not welcome.

The rest of my life, up to today, Elizabeth Taylor occupied that, "admire, but too beautiful to touch" place in my mind. She was beautiful beyond breathtaking and talented far beyond most people's appreciation, but she was too beautiful to touch.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for the dreams and fantasies, and may you finally rest in peace.

Yes, I was sorry to see her go but heaven gained a beautiful woman. RIP

When I was young, I thought of Elizabeth as royalty, like the Queen of England. Rip Liz

On the big screen....those eyes would get to a 14yr old.

Nice way of putting it, JB.

Now she is with RB and MJ. RIP

Liz Taylor.....Times is passing is it not..Heard the sad news today and this jingle just keeps popping up in my mind..

Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see

Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake me up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon
You and me
