RIP Cleopatra

As you probably have heard, Elizabeth Taylor died today at the age of 79, due to congestive heart failure.  To be honest, the closest I have ever come to admiring her work was when Charlotte from Sex and the City used Dame Elizabeth as an inspiration to get through a hard time in her own life.  That in itself is enough for me to show my respects for her and the ways she has transformed fashion and pop culture in her eight decades of life.
