I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

More Hollywood Hypocrisy

From Page Six:

October 16, 2006 -- LEONARDO DiCa prio - the environmental avenger - has no problems preaching about the evils of gas-guzzling cars, but, like his green pal Laurie David, he just can't give up the fossil fuel- chugging private planes. On Thursday, DiCaprio, his mom, his grandmother and girlfriend Bar Rafaeli flew on a private jet from Paris to Rome for a little vacation before the Rome premiere of "The Departed."
Ok, so saving gas is only necessary when movie premieres aren't involved. All you mini-van moms, quit being so selfish . . . Leo needs to fly around the world so he can holiday before walking down the red carpet. I wonder if he plans on arriving at the premiere in a hybrid car?

Oh, the hypocrisy.

How much fuel do private jets need, anyway? I daresay a lot more than the average American uses in a long time.

Practice what you preach, Leo!
