fallon elizabeth begins each day by listening to npr's "morning edition", has a mild obsession with d. porthault linens, reads royal biographies in the bath, graduated from a women's college in the east, believes that chilvalry isn't dead, loves visually rich films that one can drink like soup, has no desire to learn how to cook, collects vintage silhouettes + petite herend figurines, and, though a helpless francophile, she will forever be smitten with the charms of her native kansas city. This tumblr servers as a supplement to my blog,

Star-struck visitor: “My God, you’re Jackie Kennedy!”
Jackie: “No, I’m not.”

Working as the NPR Arts Desk intern: “On average, we receive a dozen or so new books from publishers every day – working here is the bibliophile’s version of a kid in a candy shop.”
Talk about a dream job!
