    Default Naked Lustre

    An interesting 3-page article on Vanity Fair yesterday:
    http://www.vanityfair.com/style/feat...industry200907

    Not your average grain-of-sand-article; that Steve King did his research.

    I didn't learn much, but it was very well researched and written, a pleasure to read.

    Caitlin, as knowledgeable as you are, it would take some work to teach you something new...

    Thank you for always sharing that knowledge with we new ones!

    Delightful writing, that!

    It was like finding a new version of a King Arthur book, a retelling of the tale we all know, but refreshing to read in a new version.

    Interesting though missing some pictures and photos,
    speaking of pearls must come with some illustrations, IMHO
