When Décor Tells a Real Story
Of course, I am attracted to beauty. I am really thrilled, though, when design is infused with emotion and genuine meaning.

Courtney Love, Patti Smith Bring Punk Cred To Mariska Hargitay's Charity Event
Your typical posh charity benefit in Manhattan usually includes a celebrity or two, maybe a performance by an artist who was popular in the '90s and a room full of insanely rich (and generous!) people.
