Bitten

I recently caught an interview with Sarah Jessica Parker on Oprah. I had known of the actress from Sex in the City fame (Even though I have never actually seen an episode), and her celebrity marriage to Matthew Broderick. I had never really seen the 'lady' behind the 'celebrity' and was really impressed.

She is launching a line of clothing called "Bitten". Based in the USA, offering sizes 2 to 22, and no piece is more than $19.99. She says "fashion is not a luxury, it's a right".

She spoke of her upcoming 10 year anniversary to her husband, and the raising of their son. When Oprah asked what she wanted for her anniversary gift, she thought a "note" would be nice. Isn't that lovely? I personally feel that the move away from hand written correspondence is a sad commentary on today's etiquette, or lack there of. Courting and romance is a lost art, but she and Matthew seem to have the market cornered. More power I say!

When two of Oprah's audience members were brought up on stage, Sarah shook their hand and asked "How do you do?!?!". I love the formal elegance in the way she conducts herself. Very Classy!

As my daughter grows and approaches womanhood, I try to instill a sense of elegance, style, and a 'standard' that she can set for herself. It is a relief to see a lady such as Sarah Jessica shining brightly. Her elegance far outshines the dull flicker that the likes of today's 'celebutants' cast in the world. Move over Paris, Sarah gets my vote, hands down!
