Iris Apfel quotes about
new-experiences people challenges
If you don’t learn constantly, you don’t grow and you will wither. Too many people wither on the vine. Sure, it gets a little harder as you get older, but new experiences and new challenges keep it fresh.
looks baroque
My look is either very baroque or very Zen – everything in between makes me itch.
path helping ifs
I'm happy if I can help anybody. I'm more than happy to, but you have to find your own path.

nice looks hot
I love a nice hot pink. I like thick lipstick, otherwise it doesn't look like you're wearing any.
minimalist
I'm not a minimalist, as I'm sure you've noticed.
dream husband choices
Caviar used to be my drug of choice, but since my husband is on a no-salt diet, I've kind of given it up. I still have dreams of sitting down and gorging, though. I love it with a good vodka; I don't like it with champagne.
well-dressed wells comfortable
It's better to be happy and comfortable than well dressed.
noise walks
I'm making a lot of noise as I walk.
kindness simple phones
Technologically I live in the 17th century. I have a very simple cell phone. I say I live through the kindness of strangers, because if they see something on the Net they type it out and send it to me.
