Friday

came to a mall in metro Detroit to promote her new perfume, White Diamonds. The mall was about 30 miles away from where I lived and I wasn't familiar with that area at that time and I got lost. By the time I got there, she had already come and gone. I was standing by the sign that said "Elizabeth Taylor Here Today" when two teenagers walked by and one turned to the other and said "So who's Elizabeth Taylor?"

And she was still alive then!
