Shades of Sparkle

So, I read the 50 Shades Of Grey trilogy. I must say it was a fun read. I really cannot stand book snobs, they are kind of like jewelry snobs. While a style or type of jewelry might not be your taste, if you are open and give it a chance you can always appreciate the creative force it took to make, the craftsmanship, or the colors. It’s the same way with most things. Take Miriam Haskell for instance, It is not my style (gasp) and most of her stuff is to busy for me, but she was an amazing designer and her work was good, her detail and quality for costume jewelry is unsurpassed.
 The controversy these books have stirred up is astounding! Erotica writing has been around as long as time. These books have caused all kinds of religious and moral debates, I love when someone mentions it on face book, this is me when this happens





The 50 Shades Of Grey books remind me of a line from the movie The Fisher King with Robin Williams. the character is talking about a girl he has a crush on who reads trashy romance novels 
"There's nothing trashy about romance. In romance there's passion. There's imagination. There's beauty. Besides, you find some wonderful things in the trash."


Why do people have to tear each other apart?
 Well anyways since I am a jewelry enthusiast I have been daydreaming about what the jewelery Christian bought Ana may have looked like. ( maybe they will consult me for the making of the movie hehehe)
OK the second-chance earrings this is what Cartier has ( where Christian purchased them from)
Diamants Legers De Cartier long earrings


Nice but I was thinking bigger maybe? After all he is a billionaire and this is a fantasy!
