This week’s Intimate Discovery: Salon De Lingerie and Interfiliere
I am back from Europe and my semi-annual foray to

As an art student, traveling through Italy, I was introduced to the genius of Michelangelo when I first saw the legendary statue of David at the Accademia in Florence. In those days it was possible to get close to the sculpture, close enough to touch the marble.

The Queen Bee is a marvel of nature. Flying 600 feet into the air she performs a marriage dance that initiates the fertilization process of the entire hive. Dedicating her whole life to the birth of her colony, she singularly produces thousands of honeybees, who in turn, devote their lives to sustaining ours. The hive is a sacred monastery, where mostly females reside with the sole purpose of taking … Read More
