Happy Valentine’s Day, Elizabeth Taylor

Oh Liz. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee for wearing a 69.42-carat pear-shaped diamond, as a ring.

I love thee for bossing Princess Margaret with the 33.19-carat Krupp diamond.

I love thee for wearing a diamond brooch in your hair, because why not?
I love thee for being a total Queen by wearing a Queen's pearl in your bosom.

I love thee for being a total Grand Duchess by wearing a Grand Duchess’ emeralds in a swimming pool with a parrot.

I love thee for wearing a tiara, just because.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Elizabeth Taylor.
