Elegance Personified

Everyone points to Audrey Hepburn. Or Cary Grant. I prefer John Wayne's lopsided gait, Bogart smoking, the exquisite absurdity of Steve Martin and Martin Short. Can you imagine Lauren Baall burping? That is elegance.
Elegance to me means high end gel pens that swirl and loop across the page. I feel like Henry James when I use them. My posture is elegant. When I walk across the room people notice. Even bending to pick something up I am graceful. I'd like to see Audrey scoop up grapes without falling over.
Now I am going to squash this bug crawling across my keyboard, using my immaculate trimmed index finger. One beautiful movement, one less bug.
