Behind The Candelabra My Life with Liberace by Scott Thorsen with Alex Thorleifson - Scott wrote this book after Liberace died, and it's the entire story of their affair and its sad demise. Not as good as the movie if only because the visuals in the movie are so fantastic. Still it's a decently written account of life with Lee. Between the book and the movie you'll have the story - from Scott's perspective. From Liberace's perspective, he wasn't gay - just flamboyant. The photo on the cover is almost chilling because of their resemblance to each other. Liberace is still rather a mystery - which is often true of people who are not truthful. I visited the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas years ago, and it was the epitome of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous in the late 1980s. Very glitzy, pretty garish and all over the top. It was before I got into Real Estate and satisfied my desire to see how people live, so I loved it. I think I'm going to watch the movie again! (And if I ever get back to Vegas..... I might go back.)
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
