Bellissimo


I saw Valentino, The Last Emperor last night and will forever hold in my memory the image of a woman holding the sheerest piece of red chiffon and with one pull of a single thread creating a ruffle.

The pugs were enchanting, the dresses fantastic and the glimpse of the relationship between Valentino and Giancarlo Giammetti is captivating. For more information on the film and theaters nationwide click here; Kansas City show times here.
