Taurus

I speak four languages. I like re-arranging my coffee table books ad infinitum. I consider myself to be: honest, loyal, gracious, charming, polite, nostalgic, inquisitive, stubborn, opinionated, witty, clever, well-dressed and well-read. I am sarcastic.

If you would like to be my friend, you must possess the following qualities: sense of humour (preferably dry), a good relationship with time (read: punctual) and assiduous attention to etiquette. I prefer monikers of style, those with whom I can match wit, members of the intellectual elite, proper grammar and spelling, those with good taste in shoes, European royals (e.g. Andrea Casiraghi), Israeli soldiers, drinkers of Bourbon, French women (e.g. Lou Doillon), and those with whom I can lunch.
