What I Learned: From 'Behind The Candelabra'

Ok I don't know how many of you tuned in to HBO on Sunday night for the eagerly anticipated (by me at least) Behind the Candelabra, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Michael Douglas Ruled, Matt Damon was wonderful, and I was totally engrossed the whole glittery, twisted, bizarre, 2 hours. Here are some things I learned along the way:

• Palatial kitsch IS my style
• Tight pants are the best and men today need to embrace them
• I want to support the Austrian rhinestone industry
• Feathered hair is BACK
• You can be alone in a crowd
• Michael Douglas is incredible
• People see what they want to see
• I need to wear more rings
• Rob Lowe is a Martian. A weird, beautiful, hilarious martian.
• Never sacrifice who you are for someone else
• There's no such thing as too many sparkles
• Accept the possibilities of the good in others
• Kimonos are Klassy
• Don't get plastic surgery - especially to look like someone you know
• The only people who know what happens in a relationship are the people in it 
• Be kind
• Follow your passion
• Dont do drugs. Seriously. Just don't do it.
• Dream the impossible dream
• Love is strange
• Don't allow people to use you
• Don't use other people
• I am Pro Sparkly Speedos
• Talent sometimes arrives in very bizarre vehicles
• Steven Soderbergh is really into ambient sound
• I effing love biopics
• Everyone fears becoming unnecessary
• Too much of a good thing is wonderful

Thank you Liberace. You odd, odd person, you.
