There's Nothing Better In Life Than Diamonds

(via The Guardian) I really enjoyed reading Charlotte Chandler's interview with Mae West + her unique reflections on life, men, Hollywood, diamonds + her interpretation of sex with love + what I liked most was this one:

What kind of 'life' do you look for in a man?
Fire. A man can be short and dumpy, but if he has fire, women will like him.


In the diamond industry, the term 'Fire' would be interpreted as dispersion, a unique optical property in diamond--it's life. So when Mae West talks about fire in men, it makes sense. For women, men without dispersion will be dull or inert.
