Bar­bara Hutton

Bar­bara Hut­ton was once dis­cov­ered wear­ing her tiara while sit­ting in bed. She was con­va­lesc­ing and loved this head piece so much that she decide to adorn her­self appro­pri­ately for the occa­sion. Not many of us would be so moved by a jewel that we would don our dear­est fin­ery while recoup­ing. How­ever today I am one of those who can sym­pa­thize with Ms. Hut­ton. I have, as my physi­cian has termed it benignly, a calf mus­cle injury (it felt like such an inno­cent lit­tle “pop” when I was work­ing out). Now walk­ing up and down stairs takes ten min­utes and I need a cane to get around. The teas­ing from my kids is non­stop and my hus­band just smiles and asks if I would like a cup of tea.

I need a tiara. Badly.
