Sometimes I wish I could just throw back my head and laugh at all around me, but--as silly as I am--most times I find it rather difficult.

Lavinia, though, has no problem. Embroiled in a life of great style and nonsense, she seems to walk upon the waters of serious life. Every engagement with her is one of frivolous banter, high style, and silliness (my strength). She makes going to the local grocery market an event.

I think of the partyat which she showed up as Caligula being the moment of truth for me. How many people show up as Caligula for a Versace party? Answer, Not Enough.
