And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

A Small Tribute to Elizabeth Taylor that Includes Lucy

As everyone already knows, the beautiful Elizabeth Taylor passed away on Wednesday morning and was laid to rest Thursday afternoon.  She went out of this life in pretty much the same way she lived it, with Grace, Style and Tastefulness.

While most of us look to older people as our driving force to life, Elizabeth Taylor was one our parents constantly warned us about, especially if you lived in a Christian home; they didn't want us to look up to her.  She was married countless times, had several affairs, became a drinker, a smoker, a party girl, and her life was filled with drama.

But I look past all that, we are human, we all make many mistakes in our life, we learn from them and move on.  Who's to say she wasn't one with God and asked for forgiveness long ago?  We don't know, but He is the one who will decide her fate when the time comes.  Until then, we should all live our lives as we see fit, and if this includes God, or not, that is up to you.

In a tribute to the iconic legend, I came across a video this morning that brought me so much laughter, and thought I would share. The clip is from "Here's Lucy," and pretty much what happens... Lucy gets Liz's ring stuck on her finger.  Richard Burton tries to have it removed, and when he can't, he drags Lucy along with him.  He takes her to a reception that Liz has to show up to later that evening, and everyone is expecting to see the famous ring...

You're welcome, it truly was nice watching this. Even though I wasn't born around this time, re-runs were always showing. And I loved them!

I always saw Lucy on Nick at Night but not this show. I never knew of it. It sure was funny though.

I liked Liz! Even though she was unlucky in love, she was a brilliant performer! No one before or after her has played Cleopatra with such grace, and in such a commanding way! Her Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof reminds me of the same type of spirit my mom, and both my grandmothers had!! I'll deeply miss Elizabeth Taylor!!
